Chelsea Handler’s acquisition of a home from RFK Jr. and Cheryl Hines for $5.9 million has become a troubling saga, as she has been unable to move into the property for five years due to severe issues.
Handler claims that the house was left in an ‘unlivable’ condition, with a home inspector informing her that it had ‘the most toxic environment.’ She stated, ‘You cannot live here for at least two years.’
The house, built in 1937 and featuring five bedrooms, was purchased through a private trust registered under Handler’s sister’s name. Handler was unaware that she was buying the property from RFK Jr. and Cheryl Hines until after the sale was finalized.
After the purchase, Handler discovered an illegal outdoor storage unit on the property, which added to her frustrations. She described the situation as a ‘disaster,’ stating, ‘That’s how fucked up this house was.’
Handler received a note from Cheryl Hines offering assistance after the sale, indicating some acknowledgment of the issues that arose post-purchase. Despite the support, Handler’s experience has been overwhelmingly negative.
The final sale date of the house is recorded as October 14, 2021. Handler’s ongoing struggle with the property highlights the complexities and potential pitfalls of celebrity real estate transactions.
As the situation continues to unfold, observers are left wondering how Handler will resolve the issues surrounding her home and if she will ever be able to move in. Details remain unconfirmed.
