While Chelsea Handler makes light of a lot of things in her life, the comedian got serious about a past encounter with Bill Cosby during a recent interview with Esquire.

The former "Chelsea Lately" host shared a story about feeling uncomfortable over Cosby inviting her up to his hotel suite while they were both performing at the same venue in Atlantic City. She remembers asking three male friends to accompany her to meet the famed funnyman, and adds that nothing sinister happened during their encounter. 

"Oh, I was in Atlantic City playing, doing stand-up, and he was doing stand-up in Atlantic City in the same hotel, and at like three o'clock in the afternoon, someone from the hotel came down and said, 'Oh, you know, Mr. Cosby would really like to meet you up in his hotel suite.' And I thought, 'That's really weird.' This was like ten years ago. And I said, 'That's really weird. I don't want to go alone.' I go, 'I don't know him.'"

When the reporter expressed sympathy for the allegations against Cosby, Handler shot back by saying, "Not poor guy—he tried to Cosby me." She later added that she believes the famed actor is guilty of the accusations being made about him.
