During her appearance on Rob Lowe’s podcast, Chelsea Handler dropped a bombshell on listeners. For years, Handler has been the topic of speculation regarding whether she ever socialized with Jeffrey Epstein. While chatting to Lowe, Handler acknowledged that she did go to Jeffrey Epstein’s house for dinner as a guest of Katie Couric – and Prince Andrew was there schmoozing with the guests of the convicted sexual predator.
Epstein was a well-known pedophile due to his status as a wealthy individual who was acquainted with numerous Hollywood’s top figures, including former President Donald Trump. Bill Clinton was another friend of Epstein’s who would accept trips as thanks for their friendship. Neither Trump nor Clinton admits to knowing anything about Epstein’s illicit activities with underage females or the charges that he faced at the time of his death.
Other celebrities who were present at the Epstein party that Handler attended include Queen Noor, Couric, and Prince Andrew. She recalled seeing Woody Allen and his wife Soon Yi Previn – a natural daughter of his former partner Mia Farrow – at the party.
“I was at that dinner party, but not for very long. When we got there, I was like, what is this gathering?” Handler told Lowe. “We had dinner, and it was so awkward and so weird. I was like, what are we doing here? And then I asked Woody Allen how he and Soon Yi met, and that was when I left.”
The actor told Handler about how he met his young wife because everyone else in the room was undoubtedly aware of the tale. For Handler, she was just attempting to converse with a well-known star – she had no idea about the actor’s near-incestuous relationship.
“At that point of the night, I was like, this is such a ridiculous dinner party. Who are these people?” Handler said to Lowe. “I really was curious! I had forgotten for a moment… but as it came out of my mouth, I knew that it was too late. And he loved it, and Soon Yi, I don’t think she heard it, and Katie looked at me and was like, ‘Let’s go.’”
Handler arrived at the event after Epstein had already become a convicted sex offender. He was found guilty of soliciting prostitution from a minor in Palm Beach and was sentenced to 13 months in prison.
Following the Epstein party, the creator of the New York Social Diary, David Patrick Columbia, stated: “A jail sentence doesn’t matter anymore. The only thing that gets you shunned in New York society is poverty.”
Ghislaine Maxwell, who is on trial for enabling Epstein’s sexual abuse of underage girls, was there as well.
“No one in café society gives a damn that a 15-year-old girl gives massages,” one frequent charity-benefit guest told the Daily Beast after Epstein’s party that Handler attended. “She gets people into parties and runs around for a lot of people. If you’re Mike Huckabee, it would matter but not if you’re Ghislaine Maxwell.”
