Chelsea Handler Sex Tape: Revealed, Possibly a Joke

Chelsea Handler made a sex tape. That much is clear.

What's unclear is what its purpose was. The Chelsea Lately host's rep, Stephen Huvane, claimed it was all part of a comedy bit. A sexy comedy bit.

Viewing the Chelsea Handler sex tape makes that explanation highly questionable, however, as both Chelsea and her partner are both very naked.

The action is clearly not simulated, either.

The tape, which was made nearly a decade ago after Chelsea moved to Los Angeles starts out with Chelsea turning on the camera in her apartment.

She begins by introducing herself by name before going into a stand-up routine before we suddenly cut right on over to Chelsea Handler nude, having intercourse.

Chelsea, who is on all fours on a bed is naked and at several times during the filming she looks directly at the camera whilst in the midst of the act.

At the end of the “performance” Chelsea’s partner speaks in a clear British accent, asking, “Did we get the (bleep) shot?” You always gotta get that.

Chelsea looks into the camera and smiles at this point. Then the tape immediately cuts back into Chelsea continuing her stand-up routine at home.

Reached for comment by Radar Online, Chelsea’s rep Huvane said: “The tape you have is an old tape that was done for a stand up comedy bit.”

He indicated that Chelsea would address it on her E! show ... but from what we've seen, if it’s a routine, it’s the most X-rated routine of all time.

The unnamed source that leaked the sex tape said the following:

“This is an old tape Chelsea had put together just a couple years after moving out to Hollywood when she was trying to make it as a comedienne.”

“Chelsea gave this demo tape to a bunch of talent agents and managers hoping to book some gigs,” the source continues. “It was taken so long ago and distributed on old VHS tapes, that I’m sure most people just threw them out."

"Her stand-up was so bad and they didn’t realize she would make it big one day. It’s highly possible that many of the recipients of the tape didn’t even watch past the first couple of minutes and missed the sex tape part altogether.”

So ... cover up of a sex tape or a comedy routine with explicit sex? You decide ... and we imagine Michelle McGee has some thoughts on the matter.
