Feud Alert! Heather McDonald Fires Shots At Former Boss Chelsea Handler: ‘I Lived In Fear’


Chelsea Handler not only ended her gig on TV, she ended friendships, too, according to her former pal Heather McDonald!

The comedienne, who was a frequent panelist on Handler’s show Chelsea Lately from 2007 to 2014, said she no longer speaks to Chelsea because of the way she was treated on the show.

“I lived in fear, 100 percent lived in fear,” she said on the Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss podcast. “It was hard. Never being promoted … If a new writer came on, they got the same thing as I did. That part bugged me.”

McDonald said that when Handler ended her contract with E! and ceased the show, her “relationship with Chelsea ended” too, and she “walked away with nothing.”

“I don’t agree with how she treats relationships in her life,” she said. “I think she’s missing out and I think she’s missing out by dumping people. I think it’s a shame. You don’t have to cut someone out completely. That’s now how I live my life.”

Heather further blasted her former friend, saying: “I think she’s really funny and when you’re in your life and her friend it’s the greatest thing … It’s the best thing ever. It’s so much fun. She laughs at you. And that’s what’s sad. She makes you feel so special until you’re not.”
