Chelsea Handler Criticizes RFK Jr. Over Sale of ‘Unlivable’ Mansion

Chelsea Handler has openly criticized Robert F Kennedy Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines, over what she describes as a problematic California mansion she purchased from them. The comedian alleges the property has been uninhabitable for the past five years.

Handler acquired the sprawling estate from the couple in 2021 for a reported $5.9 million. However, she recently expressed her frustrations on her podcast, claiming that issues with the mansion have prevented her from moving in.

During the podcast episode, Handler vented her frustrations, highlighting problems such as a substandard foundation and an allegedly unauthorized outdoor storage structure. “I bought RFK Jr.’s house in Los Angeles five years ago. I still have not lived in this house, that’s how messed up this house was,” she lamented.

The comedian further revealed that inspections had identified multiple issues with the five-bedroom, 5,474-square-foot residence, issues she says she was assured would be addressed.

Handler said she had no idea who the previous owners were because the sale was done through a trust which kept both sides anonymous. 

She claimed that the renovations she was promised never materialized.

‘When they opened up the house, they were like, ”This house is the most toxic environment”,’ she said, speaking to fellow comic Dennis Leary.

‘Now we have to remove his illegal bulls**t from my property,’ Handler said, saying that their renovations made ‘the house less valuable.’ 

She said the final nail in the coffin came from Hines herself, who allegedly offered to help once Handler bought the property. 

‘They said, ”Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you, Chelsea.” I’m like, yeah, how about a f***ing foundation,’ Handler raged.

The comedian, an outspoken liberal, used the situation to slam Kennedy’s work in Washington with Donald Trump.  

‘The idea that this guy is in charge of the health of our country when he didn’t even have a proper foundation at his house,’ she continued.

The home, built on a full acre of land in 1937, was sold to Handler in October of 2021, for approximately $5.85 million. 

Kennedy saw a stroke of bad luck Monday when a federal judge blocked Kennedy from reducing the recommended number of childhood vaccines.

Judge Brian E Murphy ruled that the secretary also likely violated federal procedures when he revamped a key vaccine advisory committee which helped secure the reforms.

The decision handed down Monday temporarily halts Kennedy’s order to end broad recommendations for all children to be vaccinated against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis and RSV.

It also stopped a meeting of a Kennedy-appointed vaccine advisory committee, which was set to convene this week in Atlanta.

The judge’s order, however, is not the final word. The blocks are temporary, pending either a trial or a decision for summary judgment.

Federal health officials indicated they planned to appeal.

‘HHS looks forward to this judge’s decision being overturned just like his other attempts to keep the Trump administration from governing,’ said Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Andrew Nixon.

Kennedy, a leading anti-vaccine activist before becoming the nation’s top health official, fired the entire 17-member panel last year and replaced it with a group that includes several anti-vaccine voices.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Kennedy and Hines’s representatives for comment.
