Chelsea Handler Sex Tape

Chelsea Handler maintains that the sex scene on the comedy routine demo tape acquired by Radar Online was just a joke. Apparently, a decade ago, when the audition tapes were sent out to various talent agents and comedy clubs in the hopes of getting some stand-up gigs, Chelsea Handler (and anyone else involved in the decision) thought it might be a good idea to spoof sex tapes. At least, that’s her story.

The tape, which was made nearly a decade ago after Chelsea moved to Los Angeles starts out with Chelsea turning on the camera in what appears to be her apartment. During the first part of the tape, Chelsea is fully clothed in her work uniform. She begins by introducing herself by name before going into a stand-up routine before suddenly cutting to Chelsea and her male partner engaging in an explicit sex act.

The sex scene was phony, according to the late night comedian. It was a joke.

But Chelsea Handler could be telling the truth as well. It might simply be the ‘naked’ truth that the sex scene was filmed as a joke, one where Chelsea Handler is spoofing Rob Lowe and Pam Anderson (and a few others). If so, it simply makes the sex scene on the tape salacious, satirical, cynical, and an attention getter, but also remarkably prescient. Just look at all the sex tapes that have been made and/or ”leaked” in the past decade.
