Jane Fonda’s Brutal Party Slam Left Chelsea Handler Stunned and Reevaluating Life
Chelsea Handler‘s latest memoir, I’ll Have What She’s Having, was published on Tuesday.
In a section of the book, the comedian (who celebrated her 50th birthday on Tuesday, February 25) shared an incident where she had a serious conversation with Jane Fonda, who is 87 years old.
One day, I received an email from Jane Fonda, which read, “Hi Chelsea, This is Jane. I was thinking if you might drop by my place for dinner. I’d like to discuss a few topics with you,” as quoted in Us Weekly by Handler.
In response to the cryptic and foreboding message, she shared that Jane appeared somewhat distant, and she felt uneasy about figuring out precisely what she might have inadvertently done.
Following their meeting, the well-known performer from New Jersey found herself facing questions regarding her less-than-friendly demeanor that she displayed at a gathering three months ago.

Chelsea was informed by Fonda that her behavior at her party was unacceptable. From the moment she arrived, there seemed to be a dark aura surrounding her, and she disrespected others, causing the entire event to become unpleasant. I’m unsure of what substances she may have been under, but several individuals mentioned that she was rude towards them.
She found the instance when she was publicly pointed out to be mortifying, uncomfortable, and undeniably awkward.
Looking back at her behavior among the guests that night, the ex-Chelsea Lately star commented, ‘Clearly, this wasn’t the person I’d imagined myself to be in my dreams.’
And she remarked that she was grateful for Jane’s honesty, calling it an ‘act of love.’
The author expressed that they required a companion for the task at hand, and in an instant of embarrassment, they were certain this person wouldn’t need to address their actions anymore due to such sincerity – it demanded response, not words.
After conversing with Jane, the captivating brunette contemplated deeply about the specific intentions she had for contributing positively to the world.
As someone who’s known for my openness about my indulgences, I wrote, “To tell you the truth, it’s anyone’s guess what substances I might have been using. The possibilities are endless.
Jane suggested: “Chelsea, look into understanding your challenges better, as your talents are abundant. Sometimes, those with the greatest abilities can unknowingly discard them. Instead of being shaped by your surroundings, shape your surroundings to reflect who you are.



She continued by disclosing how she had handled the situation, stating, “I managed to restore my reputation with Jane, and I found immense worth in that – in demonstrating to her that I truly was the person she believed me to be.
On Monday, the author shared about her upcoming book, “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” during a busy press day in New York. In an Instagram post addressed to her 5.2 million followers, she expressed excitement about its release the next day and enthusiasm for reader feedback so far. She also looks forward to meeting everyone on her book tour and feels grateful.
On her special birthday coming up on Tuesday, Chelsea shared a video from her traditional winter vacation at the ski resort. In it, she and her companions can be seen skiing while wearing bikinis.
Today marks my 50th birthday, an exciting milestone, and it’s the release date for my seventh book titled “I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING.”
Or, in a more colloquial style:
Today I hit the big 5-0! And guess what? My seventh book, “I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING,” is finally out!
She enthusiastically wrote: “Pass this on to someone dear who could use a pick-me-up or confidence boost. And if you’re curious about the details, I’ve got just the thing for you!
