Chelsea, these days, has been speaking about her ex.
Chelsea Handler is reflecting on throwing shade at her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy following his disastrous 2024 Golden Globes monologue.
“Listen, I would’ve done that had anybody thrown their writers under a bus,” the comic, 49, instructed Parade in an interview printed Friday. “I know more than anybody how valuable writers are. My whole life and my whole career is because I have great writers.”
Koy, 53, was employed 10 days earlier than the coveted award present and was roasted on-line for bombing. The comedian made what he referred to as a “rookie move” and put the blame on the writers for his array of jokes.
His jest was aimed on the huge names within the room, together with Robert De Niro, who had welcomed his seventh baby with associate Tiffany Chen at age 79, and Greta Gerwig’s summer season mission “Barbie” — which Koy described as a film about “plastic doll with big boobies.”
That very same yr, Handler took the stage to host the Critics’ Selection Award and addressed her ex’s blunders in her opening monologue.
The “Chelsea Lately” alum spoke about her desire for older males, teasing she would toss Martin Scorsese “around like a little Italian meatball.” In response to the viewers’s laughter, Handler quipped, “Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it.”
On the time, Koy revealed he didn’t take the backlash properly.
“Well, I had fun — you know, it was a moment that I’ll always remember,” he mentioned on “GMA3.”
“It’s a tough room. And it was a hard job, I’m not going to lie. Getting that gig, and then having the amount of time that we had to prepare — that was a crash course.”
Handler and Koy began courting in 2021 earlier than calling it quits almost a yr later. The host introduced their cut up on social media, saying Koy “renewed my faith in men” and “in love.”
Throughout her Parade interview, Handler referred to as the cut up “the first mature ending to a relationship that I was in.”
“My behavior was mature and graceful,” mentioned the stand-up. “I honored the relationship by never actually divulging what happened, and I liked that version of myself. I’ve ended so many relationships where I lacked dignity and I lacked grace, and I was immature and vindictive. And I don’t want to be that way. I want to be better than that. I’m a woman now, I’m not a little girl.”
Handler is gearing as much as as soon as once more host the Critics’ Selection Awards stay on Jan. 12 on E!, for the third yr in a row.
In the meantime, comic Nikki Glaser is about to take the 82nd Annual Golden Globes at The Beverly Hilton Resort on January 5.
Main as much as the announcement that Glaser can be internet hosting the award present, the tv character revealed that she had pre-show jitters.
“I am nervous to perform in front of all of those A-listers in a bright room,” she instructed Cara Delevingne throughout a sit-down for Interview Journal in November. “Any advice?”
The mannequin responded, “Don’t f – – k it up.”
Glaser cracked again to Delevingne, 32, “Oh, wait, your advice is treat it like I’m having sex with someone who’s never had sex before and I’m way hotter than they are.”
The “FBoy Island” host teased her deliberate routines for the Globes, insisting that she is “not gonna go so hard that anyone’s gonna be offended.”
“I’ve made a point not to, and that’s not to disappoint anyone who’s hoping I’m going to pull a Ricky Gervais. I’m not Ricky Gervais. This isn’t my last Golden Globes, this is my first one,” she instructed the Hollywood Reporter. “He really went hard on his last one. He was ready to burn some bridges [because] it didn’t matter anymore.”
