Chelsea Handler joked about getting multiple diseases after moving into the mansion she bought from the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his wife, Cheryl Hines. The comedian and actress talked about this during her latest appearance on a talk show. She also described the “problems” she faced in the house.
Chelsea Handler jokes about RFK Jr.’s mansion
The This Means War star, who recently revealed that she bought the veteran politician’s house on her podcast, spoke about it to Jimmy Kimmel.
During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 17, 2026, Chelsea Handler revealed that she finally moved into the “toxic” house over four years after she purchased it from RFK Jr.
When Kimmel asked her to clarify who she bought her LA house from, Handler began, “RFK Jr. I didn’t know I was buying….” but was interrupted by laughter from the audience. She paused and continued, “I know, that is laughable. You can laugh at me…I didn’t know I was buying it from RFK Jr. because it was a blind trust. The house feels like I bought it from RFK Jr.”
The veteran comedian continued about the house, “It took me four years to move in. There [were] a lot of problems with the house — I blame him — and that didn’t get caught during inspection. And a lot of drama with the house. But I did just move in for the first time yesterday. So, I’m good.” She jokingly added, “I mean, I have chlamydia, herpes, and what else does he have? Oh, measles. I have chlamydia, measles, and herpes. But no, it’s okay now.”
Chelsea Handler also recounted how RFK Jr.’s wife, Cheryl Hines, sent her a note after the purchase. She also talked about this before in the March 5 episode of her Dear Chelsea podcast.
“They sent me a note after I moved in, Cheryl Hines sent me a note saying, ‘Thank you, we’re so excited you bought our house. Let us know if there’s anything we can do.’ And I was like, ‘Oh no! I bought RFK Jr.’s house?’ Like the one person in the world that I would flag whose house not to buy,” Handler added.
