Handler was humiliated and excused herself to find a bathroom. 'I went to the bathroom mirror at her house and looked at myself, and I was like, 'Okay, you have two choices in how you're going to handle this,'' Handler told Parade. 'You could be defensive, and that just means she's right. Or you can take it in and realize that she did not have to sit down and take the time to tell you this,' she recalled.

'She could have just avoided me for the rest of our lives and never hung out with me again and just been like, 'Okay, Chelsea's badly behaved, I don't want anything to do with her.'. 'But she set an example for me that day. That was an act of love.'. Handler turns 50 on February 25 and with age has come the wisdom to check herself and not get so worked up over things.
'I know to remove myself from a situation if I'm not going to be my best,' she said. 'I don't lose my sh** like I used to when I was younger. It's not a big deal if something doesn't work out. It's not a big deal if the guy I'm dating breaks up with me; it really isn't,' she said. 'I'm a tree now. I'm kind of unshakeable.'.
