Chelsea Handler has viciously mocked Melania Trump over and over for the past three months, and now says she wouldn't have the new first lady on her Netflix talk show because “she can barely speak English.”
The reaction to the celebrity comedienne's putdowns was fast and furious, especially because Melania Trump who grew up in Yugoslavia actually speaks five languages, and one of them happens to be English.
She also speaks French, German, Serbian and Slovene, noted the New York Daily News.
After a string of sneering tweets about the first lady, Handler told Variety that she wouldn’t be interviewing Melania Trump on her show “Chelsea.”
When asked what she thought of the first lady, Handler said, “Exactly what I think of the first man – nothing.”
“I don’t respect either one of those people,” said Handler told Variety as she and show's host chugged wine.
When asked specifically about President Trump, Handler said: “He is the grossest. Physically, emotionally, mentally. Those statues they made of him were accurate. I bet you that is what he looks like naked, with a little grape in between his legs.”
Melania Trump has been a burr under Handler's saddle.
Handler was in the lead of a Women’s March at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, which brought out more than 1 million people to protest Trump’s inauguration, said the International Business Times. She was joined by Charlize Theron, John Legend and Kristen Stewart.
After the march, Handler told Variety: “Forget your party. I’m registering as an independent. I’m not going to be a Democrat anymore because it’s too divisive.”
“Divisiveness is not the answer,” she added. “And I think to get that message, we have to reach across party lines…This isn’t working, this two-party system.”
