The host of Netflix’s upcoming talk show Chelsea revealed that she thinks “nudity is funny, especially when it’s inappropriate,” but that she also isn’t on social media just to be on social media.

"Would I do these things if I wasn’t famous?" she pondered. "No. If I didn’t have something to promote, I wouldn’t. It’s just something you have to do right now.”

Handler most recently shocked her Instagram followers when she posted a nude mirror selfie in honor of Maria Sharapova’s birthday. The former Chelsea Lately star is known for sharing naked selfies in honor of her pals’ birthdays.

“Happy birthday to my bear @mariasharapova. Sending love from me and my bonsai. #tokyo,” the comedian captioned the racy snap in which she covers herself with just a tiny bonsai tree.
