WATCH: Barbara Walters Awkwardly Asks Chelsea Handler if She's Into Women
We’re filing this under “the most awkward moment of this week’s Sunday TV.” During her Most Fascinating People of 2014 interview with Chelsea Handler, Barbara Walters first asked inquired about Chelsea’s “promiscuity” and then tried to get her to come out as into women.
“I’m not a lesbian,” Chelsea said, but Barbara didn’t stop pushing. “I wish I was. I would help you. I would try to make this interview more exciting.”
Barbara delves into Chelsea’s sex life at about the 6:50 mark.
