Chelsea Handler is almost certainly leaving E!
All signs point to the fact that Chelsea Handler is gearing up to leave E! According to her manager Irving Azoff, the Chelsea Lately host—who has been fairly open about how much she dislikes the network that employees her—is “positioning herself for life after her current contract expires.” Handler specifically hired music manager Azoff to help her plan her post-E! career, and she’s currently taking exploratory meetings with production companies and other cable networks. While Deadline speculates that this could be a negotiation tactic, it does seem as if Handler is really set to leave this time.
