Chelsea Handler has not interviewed a celebrity since her E! talk show, Chelsea Lately, wrapped in 2014, but she never forgot her most uncomfortable interview.
When asked by Variety at the Sundance Film Festival Studio who her worst interview was during her time on E!, Handler said popstar Justin Bieber.
“He tried to flirt with me and it was so uncomfortable,” Handler explained. “You feel like a child molester… I was not sexually attracted to a child.”
Handler, who is promoting her new Netflix series, Chelsea Does, has recently made headlines for feuding with former Chelsea Lately regular Heather McDonald. McDonald said she was “living in fear” of Handler during her time on the show.
Handler responded on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show by calling McDonald a “loser” and explaining “she’s f–king scared, and she should be.”
Handler is happy to put her E! days behind her and enjoys working with Netflix.
“I don’t watch E! I didn’t watch it when I was on it,” Handler said to Variety. “Netflix was my only prospect.”
Chelsea Does is now available on Netflix.
