Comedian Chelsea Handler bought Robert F. Kennedy, Jr\u2019s LA home.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Handler landed some low blows on the Kennedy family while describing her purchase of an \u201cunlivable\u201d Los Angeles home from Robert Kennedy Jr. and his wife Cheryl Hines during an appearance on late night TV.<\/p>\n

The comedian appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and said after buying the couple\u2019s nearly $6 million (AUD $8.7 million) home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, it took her four years to move due to \u201ca lot of problems with the house\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI blame [RFK Jr.] that they didn\u2019t get caught during inspection, and there was a lot of drama with the house,\u201d the 51-year-old told Kimmel.<\/p>\n

She said she only moved into the home a day prior, the New York Post reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Handler went on to bash the entire Kennedy clan, adding: \u201cI have to stay away from the Kennedys in general.\u201d <\/p>\n

She commented on joining a skiing \u201cdisaster\u201d with the family and said she took a sailboat ride with Kennedy matriarch Ethel.<\/p>\n

\u201cBelieve me, it\u2019s all verifiable. I\u2019m not a liar,\u201d the comedian said.<\/p>\n

In discussing the property purchase, Handler doubled down on comments she made on her Dear Chelsea podcast, describing the sprawling five-bedroom home as \u201cf**ked up\u201d and branding the saga a \u201cdisaster\u201d.<\/p>\n

Later, on the Today show, she said she did not know she was buying the US Health Secretary\u2019s home, as it was sold under a \u201cblind trust\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know I was buying it. I know that is laughable. You can laugh at me. I didn\u2019t know I was buying it from RFK Jr.,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She told Kimmel that she discovered the sellers\u2019 identities after Hines left her a note.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Thank you. We\u2019re so excited you bought our house. Let us know if there\u2019s anything we can do\u2019,\u201d the note read, according to Handler.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no. I\u2019m like, \u2018I bought RFK Jr.\u2019 He\u2019s like the one person in the world that I would flag whose house not to buy,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve done enough, all those losers,\u201d Handler added.<\/p>\n
