Cheryl Hines Breaks Silence on Chelsea Handler’s Claim She Sold Her a “Toxic” $6 Million House

The 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' star says Handler is looking for 'sympathy' and that her viral claim 'doesn't make sense.'

‘s complaints about her “toxic” house have no real foundation and, if anything, she’s being framed as the bad guy.accusing the actress and her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of selling her a $6 million money pit mansion five years ago that has required an endless succession of repairs.

podcast that she bought a Los Angeles house in a blind trust — so she didn’t know who the owner was — from Hines and. She says Hines left her a note after she moved in urging her to call if she needed anything. Handler said she quickly discovered a slew of issues in the “toxic” house .But Hines said she wasn’t aware of any issues with the house — which is why she left the note to Handler. Hines also suggested Handler is just seeking sympathy and attention — especially given the current notoriety of RFK Jr. as President Trump’s controversial HHS chief — and that Hines’ claims don’t “really hold water” .podcast. “Because she bought this house five years ago and she’s just now complaining about it, which is also … 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. The story doesn’t really hold water because I did write her a personal note when she moved in, saying how much we love the house and that I hope that she has a beautiful life in this house and if you need anything call me. And I left my number. So if we were trying to unload a toxic house on her, I wouldn’t have left my number. I think she’s just trying to get attention and it’s probably fun for her to make fun of Bobby. What are you going to do?” Handler previously said about the note: “And they had the audacity to leave me a note! Cheryl Hines left me a note saying, ‘Let us know if there’s anything we can do for you, Chelsea.’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, how about a fucking foundation?’ That’s something you could do for me.” Previously, a source close to the situation said Handler had every opportunity to inspect the home prior to the sale and that ultimately the responsibility for finding any relevant issues lands on the inspector and the buyer.Tom Brady Talks Advice for World Cup Soccer Players, Acting Ambitions and Watching ‘Heated Rivalry:’ “That’s a Great Show”The Hollywood Reporter is a part of Penske Media Corporation. © 2026 The Hollywood Reporter, LLC.
