Comedian Chelsea Handler unexpectedly canceled two nights of her Vaccinated and Horny tour due to a hospital scare. Following a vague message regarding the canceled dates, Handler has announced that she is out of the hospital and everything is okay.
The February 4 and 5 dates have been rescheduled for March. Handler will now be performing in Eugene, OR on March 4 and making up her two Portland shows on March 5.
On Sunday, she posted to her Instagram story to let fans know she “had a scare at the hospital. I don’t have COVID, and I’m OK, but I had to reschedule my shows.”
Chelsea Handler is recovering after hospital visit
Handler shared a video on Saturday where she briefly opened up about her hospital visit and assured fans that she was okay, stating “OK, everybody, I’m safe and sound. I’m just gonna chill out for a couple weeks to recover because my buddha came and rescued me. Right, buddha?”
Her “buddha” is her boyfriend, Jo Koy. He popped into the video and reassured fans that Handler was doing well, noting, “She’s good. She’s doing good.”
On Sunday, Chelsea Handler took to Instagram again to say she had taken her first shower after the trip and was “feeling pretty good.” She thanked the staff at Virginia Mason Hospital and said that she was “going to go rest up and I will be back. Thank you.”
Despite rumors speculating, Handler made sure to set the record straight that she was not in the hospital due to COVID-19 and she is not pregnant, either. While the comedian hasn’t gone into depth over why she was in the hospital at this time, she is confident about her recovery.
The star appears to feel better now that she has been reunited with Jo Koy, and seems happy to have his support on her road to recovery. The two have been in a relationship since last fall, but many fans still want to know more about Handler’s boyfriend.
