Chelsea Handler: ‘I Didn’t Even Know’ That I Was Taking Diabetes Medication

Chelsea Handler, leftist Chelsea Handler, stated in an interview this week that they had no idea that she was taking diabetes medication.

The comedian told Alex Cooper at the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that her doctor gave her Ozempic, which is intended to treat people with type 2 diabetes, and she didn’t know what it was.

“My anti-aging doctor just hands it out to anybody, right,” She spoke. “And obviously now I can’t say her name, but I didn’t even know I was on it.”

Handler stated that her doctor advised her to lose weight quickly if she wanted. “this is good.”

Handler stated that she had injected the medication prior to meeting up with a friend and that it was her friend who alerted her that she might have been on something.

Handler claimed that her friend stated, “‘I’m not really eating anything, I’m so nauseous, I’m on Ozempic.’”

“I was like, ‘Oh, I’m kind of nauseous, too,’ and I’m like, ‘But I’m not on Ozempic,’ and she’s like, ‘Are you sure?’” Handler continued.

Handler stated that she had stopped using the drug because of its intended purpose. “heavy people.”

“That’s too irresponsible,” She went on. “I’m an irresponsible drug user, but I’m not going to take a diabetic drug … I tried it, and I’m not going to do that.”

Handler’s remarks come after she revealed She stated last week that the sun was the same as the moon for most of her adult years.

The 47-year old comedian discovered the truth while traveling to Africa with her sister.

“I told you some jokes that I love, backstage, but can you explain the one where you went to Africa?” Jimmy Fallon, comedian on “The Tonight Show.”

“Well, okay,” The Handler was contacted. “The reason why I am very outspoken about not wanting to be a parent, because I don’t think I have the skills that, you know, that I’m not equipped with what it takes to answer all of those questions to children.”

“Because they don’t just ask you once. They come in and in and in,” She spoke. “I have enough nieces and nephews to know that I don’t have the tolerance for that kind of line of questioning about things that I really don’t even know the answers to.”

“And at a certain age when you don’t know, you know, the answers to questions, it’s too embarrassing to ask questions,” She went on. “You know, you just have to pretend, you know. And, I talk about a story that I didn’t know — and this is true — I didn’t know until I was 40 years old that the sun and the moon were not the same thing.”

Fallon stated that the story is difficult to believe given its obviousness to most people.

“It was shocking to me as well,” Handler said. “My older sister, Simone looked up at the sky and she said, ‘Chelsea, Chelsea, look up. It’s not often you get to see the sun and the moon at the same time.’”

“And I was like Scooby-Doo,” Handler continued. “I said it — I go, ‘Wait, I go, but they’re always together.’ And as soon as I said that, she turned around, she goes, ‘What did you say?’”

Handler said she “just tried to gloss over it,” but her sister wouldn’t let it go.

“I was like, ‘Nevermind what I said, I know,’ And she said, ‘No, I need you to tell me what you think is happening between the sun and the moon,’” Handler said. “And I was like, ‘Honestly, I just assumed when the sun went down, it popped back up as the moon.’”
