Chelsea Handler says Jo Koy took no ‘accountability’ for breakup

Leave a comment

Chelsea Handler hasn’t spoken to ex Jo Koy for “awhile” after their breakup earlier this year.

The comedian said the pair — who were longtime pals before they began dating in 2021 — couldn’t repair their friendship until Koy took “accountability” for his part in their split.

“I mean, there has to be some accountability, you know what I mean? Like, from him about what happened, because it was just ridiculous,” Handler, 47, said on Brooke Shields’ “Now What?” podcast on Tuesday.

“I don’t think we can have a friendship until there’s some accountability and some responsibility taken.”

While she didn’t divulge exactly what Koy, 51, wasn’t taking accountability for, the standup comic explained their relationship “devolved” over the 11 months they were together.

“There was just some behaviors that we couldn’t agree on,” Handler explained. “And it felt to me like I would have to abandon myself, which maybe I would have been OK to do if I were 20 or 25. But I wasn’t willing to do that.”

The former “Chelsea Lately” host continued, stating that even though she “loved him so much” she was “not going to abandon” herself.

“I was like, ‘I’m not going to change the way that I behave in order to make you feel more comfortable. I’m not doing that,’” she shared.

“I had to walk away from something that I really thought was going to be a forever relationship.”

Handler added that the pair could not agree on “several situations” and that while she thought therapy could help, “it did not.”

Ultimately, she said at the end it became clear that Koy was not her “person.”

“Walking away from him was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do,” she said.

Koy and Handler called it quits in July 2022, with the “Life Will Be the Death of Me” author announcing that the pair were “taking a break.”

That same month, Handler revealed on another podcast that the couple split because “you can’t change a person intrinsically.”

‘Kimmel’ Host Chelsea Handler Has The Perfect Message For Men Everywhere

Leave a comment

Chelsea Handler had a lengthy message for men on Thursday with a very simple point: “Get up off your hairy asses” and defend women’s rights.

The comedian, who is filling in as host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this week, dedicated her monologue to the message in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and strip women of their decades-long right to legal abortions.

“Now, I hesitate to ask men for help because I know what’s going to happen. I’m gonna get mansplained about how to win back my rights,” Handler said. “Shut up, OK? You do the work for a change. And don’t open your mouth unless you’re chanting, ‘Her body, her choice.’”

“There is a lot that men can do to help women,” she added. “Like not creating laws that kill women. You should stop voting for people who wouldn’t protect your wife, your sister, mother and your grandmother’s right to choose what comes out of her Pikachu.”

Chelsea Handler Ends Kimmel Run by Going Off on Joe Rogan and Clarence Thomas

Leave a comment

Chelsea Handler kicked off her week of shows guest-hosting for Jimmy Kimmel by going after “pro-life” Republicans and joking that her own three abortions are all the proof Americans need that Roe v. Wade should never have been overturned.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time guest-hosting,” the comedian said on Thursday night. “But just like women’s rights, all good things must come to an end.” If “nothing else,” she took solace in the fact that she “got one viewer to change his stance,” highlighting a tweet that began, “Knowing she isn’t raising kids is almost justification for abortion.”

In her final monologue of the week, Handler delivered a history lesson of sorts about the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote in 1919. Just over a hundred years later, she proposed a 28th Amendment to “end male suffrage.”

But if that’s not a realistic option, she issued a challenge to the men of America: “Guys, if you don’t want us going after your rights, then you better get up off your hairy asses and join the fight to defend ours.”

Instead of “mansplaining” to women about how to win back their rights, she said, “Shut up, OK? How about you do the work for once and don’t open your mouth unless you’re chanting, ‘Her body, her choice.’” She implored men to, “Talk to your sons. Tell them why this is so important before they get radicalized by Joe Rogan.”

“You have the power to make a difference,” Handler added. “If every man donated just one dollar to Planned Parenthood after they masturbated, this organization would have enough resources to help every woman on planet Earth.”

“And all of you have got to take some goddamn responsibility,” she said. “Abortion is a men’s issue. Because if there were no men, there would be no abortions. In fact, if there were no men, we’d all be going down on each other in space right now.”

Handler ended her rant with “one small piece of encouraging news,” the swearing-in of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. “For the first time ever, there are now four women on the Supreme Court,” she said to cheers. “And five if you include that bitch Clarence Thomas.”
