Heather McDonald Responds to Chelsea Handler Brouhaha

McDonald insists she never conducted any under-handed business with Us Weekly.

It’s worth noting that if you listen to the entire Allegedly podcast that got this whole mini-media feud started, Heather McDonald was actually quite fair about her former boss, Chelsea Handler. While she made a couple of (advance-teased) remarks that were widely disseminated, she more often complimented her seven-years E! colleague and acknowledged Handler’s right to run things as the host saw fit.

McDonald also revealed on that Jan. 19 podcast that when Chelsea Lately’s run was abruptly ended, she and the other writers got the short end of the contract stick.
