CNN Official Interview: Chelsea Handler doesn't want kids

Chelsea Handler tells CNN's Piers Morgan why she has never been married and doesn't want kids.

[@Nndggdcgc]

I will never understand why people - especially women - have to justify themselves for not wanting kids.

[@angelac2757]

In this context, she did not offer a justification, he was the one who asked for it.

[@diemanner7164]

I am a guy and I have to do it. My body my fucking choice.

[@richardgullick1867]

Nobody is making her justify it. It's just an unusual thing. If I like eating eggs with chocolate and people ask me about it, it isn't some form of oppression, it's just unusual. Most people have an innate desire to procreate, because having children is pretty fulfilling and makes all else seen trivial. Those who don't aren't victims for simply being asked about their decision.

[@SammyMowrey]

I dont like how Pierce is condecending to her. Like its her DUTY OR SOMETHING to procreate. Ridiculous.

[@driedtodust]

She shouldn't have to defend why she doesn't want kids. Some people want to have kids, some people don't. Who does it negatively impact if some people elect to remain childless? I don't think it's a big deal.

[@Antarga20]

Haha "I wouldn't do that to the country" that was perfect

[@RetroJenny]

Having children is a choice and not a necessity. Chelsea should not have to defend her choice.

[@ranseniah]

This goes to show you that we still live in a slave society. She doesn't want kids and that's her right and her choice, and this prick is trying to guilt trip her into changing her mind. I'm 32 and I don't have kids and dont want them. Whoever cant respect that can go to hell !

[@marks7088]

Give her another 20 years.

[@MichelleRaiford]

As a woman who has chosen not to have children, I admire her.

[@ajizba]

"I just don't want a baby. I don't want to procreate and have my genes displayed in front of me." I love it!

[@tigerslilly29]

"I just don't want a baby." Thank goodness the Child Free are starting to give two shits about what other ppl think about their reasonings! Thanks Chelsea for your honesty:)

[@beautynicole2200]

i don't want kids it would be too much stress and time for me to handle i love my freedom,peace and money lol

[@janniklovesicetea]

I wonder if he’s asking that male guests who are coming on the show. That is just sexism.

[@angelac2757]

The way he characterized the conflict between work and family for women is pretty ignorant. "They talk themselves into this mindset." As if its just a fabrication in their minds and therefore, doesn't really exist. Expectations for women these days are in reality, conflicting, with work and family. In addition to that, even in two income households the woman is still doing the majority of the housework. She's essentially managing two full time jobs (one paid, one unpaid)

[@TimW_666]

I have no desire to have kids at all and never! I sleep in all day, I’m very impatient and I get stressed and irritated easily. I grew up in a abusive broken family home 10 years before we went on our own different paths, i used to be insane so crazy that I had behavioral problems at my school past, it affected people around me, never kept friends at all and I don’t want my own genes to suffer having a horrible life having and causing problems in society. Today I’ve grown and changed, I’m almost 30, I live alone all by myself, it’s very liberating & peaceful

[@musicforeverr1]

It’s horribly inappropriate to speak to any woman like this

[@tigerslilly29]

Thank goodness she doesn't sugar coat why doesn't want kids. "I just don't want a baby" should be a good enough answer, not that anyone is owed an explanation why somebody doesn't want kids.

[@nickbarcheck1019]

I have no interest in getting married or having children.

[@wahwahmels41]

You know what some women are not meant to have children and there's nothing wrong with that. Ellen has no kids you don't see people bashing her everyday

[@racer776690]

That's because she's gay...😐 I think not having children wasn't too hard of a task.

[@AgeoftheAquarius]

women can do whatever they want, and shouldn't have to have babies just because they can. children are for people who want them. Amen Chelsea!

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

U go girl!

[@Sweetbambina]

I love her honesty...SO refreshing. I am alot like her, but not all people get this type of humor, so many get offended. Get over it! lol

[@Nndggdcgc]

Piers Morgan owned.

[@wonderwoman5528]

Think they get on quite well, on the same wavelength :)

[@ellaeadig263]

She basically starts this video by saying "Mind your own business Piers" lol

[@Hannah-eq5ff]

She said she doesn't want a child stop forcing her. 😤

[@OhneDich89]

What's terrible is she goes on to put herself down like here genes aren't worthy of being reproduced. I've done the same thing. As a woman who is more than a baby-maker, I wish Chelsea would not make excuses of not passing on genes and just stick with simply not wanting a child. People look at me like I have 3 heads... but I still don't want to pump out a fetus.

[@FifaSpect]

@caveatemp She's a comedian in case you haven't noticed.

[@caveatemp]

@RokkstarGemini I understand humor. I only saw one other clip with her in this particular interview and it looks like it's a straight interview to me. If she was joking about the sleeping around thing then her sarcasm eluded me. I take it from the vociferous defense that you are a fan boy? (fan girl?)

[@sunofit]

Chelsea you would make a wonderful mother.... U have an awesome output on life....It`s called straight, honest, accepting about it all!

[@RokkstarGemini]

@caveatemp I wouldn't call it "old fashioned" to draw a huge, vague, and wildly judgemental conclusion from a two minute television interview. I would call it downright stupid. If you google "Humor" or "Humorist" it may help you sleep better at night.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

I totally agree with chelsea, life without kids is better, i always tell my mom dont think im gonna give you grandchildren i cant stand kids i wanna live my life til i die i dont like to live it for anyone else but me, and i feel bad that women have to explain themselves this should be more normalized

[@t.o.o.smooth5870]

@@theglamspot24 Only asking because I know so many women who in their 20s said they didn't want marriage or kids, but then changed their tune once they hit 30 and their maternal instinct started to override the feminist indoctrination. Not saying this is going to be the case with you cause I don't know you, but I am saying that many young women are regurgitating talking points from boss-babe celebrities like Chelsea because they're being misled into thinking it's somehow empowering. Live your life as you please, but know that the party doesn't last forever and your 40s-80ish is a long time to exist without family.

[@sydandtaytum]

@shutitok what i said IS THE TRUTH. he used to work for the daily mirror in the UK. people in america act like he is some well-respected reporter (in the UK) when in fact, he was a papp that went on to judge talent shows. i don't dislike him; i'm just stating the reality. if he goes on to become a well-respected reporter, so be it. but he certainly isn't one yet. take your anger issues elsewhere, troll.

I think that it’s safe to say that kids would not want her either. Perhaps she herself was not loved. Everyone has their own reasons I guess. Pray for her pain.

[@scipion34]

Why?

[@redfairy12]

[@caveatemp]

It's inappropriate to talk about marriage and yet elsewhere in the interview she tells him that she recommends having sex with your co-workers. Call me old fashioned but this is evidence of the breakdown of our modern culture.

[@musicforeverr1]

pete gerard sex is not taboo and is usually fine to talk about between adults. A woman’s very personal life decisions regarding childbirth is a completely different matter. Don’t get confused

[@redfairy12]

well i agree with what she said, but man she is so negative and always has this selfish arrogance things about her i just dont understand. shes rude, shes ughhh....just so pessimistic..."i dont think i should discuss that with youu" wth she couldve said, i dont want to discuss this at the moment its not appropriate. period. she didnt have to make that dumb laugh.... i dont know why people like her honestly, i dont admire her at all.

[@somabalestra1131]

it's normal to be this way when you're old and lose your social mask. You start to develop idgaf attitude bcause life sucked all that's left in you that you become pessimistic. You find it negative cause you're used to people with a filter. No pun intended.

[@oknevals]

Is she supposed to be comedian? I don't understand what that forced laughing was about. It was obviously awkward subject and there was nothing funny that was said. She is very rude as some folks noticed. She seems to like trashing other people but sometimes she should look at herself. Quite a material.

[@kinndah2519]

Everyone plz shut up about him being sexist with his questions to her. He's a journalist n it's his job to ask questions about peoples decisions, that's why they come on his show. She is giving her reason for not wanting kids not justifying it. I get it some ppl don't want kids n in some ways it's for the best. But for us that do want kids, stop making a woman feel she's anti feminist bc she wants to raise a human being

[@utoobjunkie4902]

If she doesn’t want a child she is right she should never have one. She has always come off as always very selfish person. That alone says she right about children for her, As far as Piers Morgan is concerned, I’d have thought it a good move to have sought decent dental care while working in the US ! God knows it would’ve improved his looks some.
