Chelsea Handler Reveals ‘Weird’ Bill Cosby Experience

Chelsea Handler has revealed an eyebrow-raising encounter with Bill Cosby.

In an interview with Esquire, Chelsea recounted an experience she had with the comedian.

“I was in Atlantic City playing, doing stand-up, and he was doing stand-up in Atlantic City in the same hotel, and at like three o’clock in the afternoon, someone from the hotel came down and said, ‘Oh, you know, Mr. Cosby would really like to meet you up in his hotel suite,'” she told the mag. “And I thought, ‘That’s really weird.’ This was like 10 years ago. And I said, ‘That’s really weird. I don’t want to go alone. I go, I don’t know him.’

“So the three guys I was with—thank God these guys were with me. One was filming and one was like a producer; we were filming something—I brought them up with me to his room and thank God I did, because now I know what would’ve happened if I went up there alone,” she continued.

Chelsea said she forgot about the experience until recently, after more than 30 women brought allegations of sexual offenses against the former “Cosby Show” star.

“I forgot about it when all the stories about Bill Cosby came out. I was like, I didn’t even think of it,” she said. “Then my friend texted me the other day saying, ‘Do you remember that night we went up to, or that afternoon we went up to Bill Cosby’s and you were so freaked out you made us come with you? And I said, ‘Yeah,’ and he said, ‘Hello! You could’ve been one of his victims if we weren’t there. And I went, ‘Oh my gosh …’

“Yeah, so yeah, he’s guilty,” she said. “Yeah, I think it’s pretty obvious now.”

Cosby, through his reps, has denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime.
