Shane Gillis Accuses Chelsea Handler of Zionism and Epstein Ties at Netflix Roast

Remember what I said no joke is off limits during a roast? Chelsea Handler seemed not to appreciate the ones made at her expensive by Shane Gillis during Netflix’s The Roast of Kevin Hart.

Gillis, who emceed the night, introduced Handler by calling her a “Zionist… I’m not saying that’s good or bad. Speaking of dead kids, she’s a big fan of abortions. Chelsea’s been scrapped more times than the grill at Benihana. Speaking of tossing tiny shrimp into a child’s mouth, Chelsea Handler went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house in 2010. It’s just a fun one. You can look it up, there’s articles . It wasn’t like a big party, there were like seven people there. Prince Andrew and Woody Allen were there.”

Handler, who appeared visibly annoyed once she took the mic, immediately responded to Gillis: “Shane just so you know, Judaism and Zionism are two different things. Kind of like Chinatown and Koreatown are two different things, but your favorite slur works in both places. Shane has been accused of being anti-Asian, which is ironic because Shane has the the complexion and physique of a steamed dumpling.”
