Cheryl Hines has responded publicly to claims by Chelsea Handler she and her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sold her a “toxic” home.
Saying she is “questioning the timing” of the allegations, the actress, 60, addressed the dispute during an appearance on the Tomi Lahren is Fearless, in comments previewed by People ahead of the episode’s release.
Cheryl and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sold the property to Chelsea around five years ago.
Chelsea recently revisited the purchase while promoting her High and Mighty comedy tour, speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and on her Dear Chelsea podcast, where she described ongoing issues with the house that delayed her moving in.
Cheryl, known for her work on Curb Your Enthusiasm and in Bad Moms, said she had contacted Chelsea after the sale and offered assistance.
She said: “Because she bought this house five years ago and she’s just now complaining about it, which is also, I don’t know that she’s getting a lot of sympathy from people. She’s buying a $6 million house. “And talking about how she feels duped and that we tried to sell her a house that was, her word, ‘toxic’, which also doesn’t make sense.
“I did write her a personal note when she moved in, just saying how much we love the house. And I hope that she has a beautiful life in this house. And if you need anything, call me. And I left my number.”
Cheryl added: “So I don’t know if we were trying to unload a toxic house on her. I wouldn’t have left my number.
“So, what are you going to do? She’s trying to get a laugh, I guess, and some likes.”
Chelsea said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!: “It took me four years to move in. There (were) a lot of problems with the house – I blame him.
“And that didn’t get caught during inspection. And a lot of drama with the house. But I did just move in for the first time yesterday. So, I’m good.”
Chelsea also said on Dear Chelsea: “I still have not lived in this house. That’s how f***** up this house was.
“This house is the most toxic environment. You cannot live here for at least two years.
“I’m not exaggerating. It was a disaster, and I didn’t know it going in because everything was, you know, under wraps.
“In the last week of inspection, they came and I finally – like, everything’s been redone – and they’re like, there’s a unit, like a little outdoor storage unit, that’s been there since I bought the property. And they’re like, ‘This is illegal’.
“So now we have to remove his illegal bulls*** from my property, and I’m like, how did they not find this upon the first inspection?”
