US comedian Chelsea Handler has claimed during a podcast that she “brought” a collection of illicit drugs with her during her recent tour of Australia and New Zealand, while also taking a dig at our strict biosecurity laws.
Appearing on Alex Cooper’s successful Call Her Daddy podcast to promote her latest book “I’ll Have What She’s Having”, Handler, 49, told Cooper about the alleged experiences she had when travelling Downunder.
Handler was last in Australasia in July last year for her Little Big B**** tour.
Known for her over-the-top humour and frank discussions, she told Cooper that after a disastrous flight (which included her spilling orange juice and accidentally wetting herself), she and her cousin Molly had to make a declaration to New Zealand biosecurity.
“So, we land, we get to New Zealand, and you know they are very strict in New Zealand and Australia about Customs. My cousin goes to check off meats, [she says] I have a beef jerky in my backpack,” Handler said, going on to reveal the apparent contents of her own bag.
“I have edibles, mushrooms, and a sheet of f****g acid on me and you’re declaring a chopped beef stick? I’m covered in orange juice, urine, and have so many drugs on me, and you’re sitting here talking about beef jerky.”
