Chelsea Handler shot to superstardom with Chelsea Lately on E!, but she’s not proud of the show.

While speaking at the Code/Media conference in Dana Point, California, Handler told the audience that she is “so much smarter” than what Chelsea Lately turned out to be. Now that she’s at Netflix, she will finally have the full control she’s dreamed of.

“I'm so much smarter than that show was, and I wanted to be doing a show that was smarter than I was,” Handler said, notes The Hollywood Reporter.

After leaving Lately last year, Handler quickly signed a deal with Netflix and will become the streaming service’s first talk show host. The series will premiere in 2016. She said Wednesday that Netflix was her “only option.”

While Handler said that she didn’t have much overall control of Lately, she still insisted that she didn’t pay attention to what E! executives suggested. But at Netflix, things are different.

“At E! I did what I wanted, and I didn't listen to anybody because I didn't care what they had to say because I didn't respect their opinions,” she said. “At Netflix, I do respect their opinions. It's like going out with a guy you're proud to be seen with.”

While Handler waits for her new series to start, she’s gone on a social media crusade against female nipple censorship. This week, while in New Orleans, she posted another picture on Twitter, baring her breasts.
