“The Roast of Kevin Hart” is over, but Chelsea Handler is still going after a couple of the comics on the dais.

More than a week after the live Netflix event, the former late-night host said she took issue with many of the jokes told by roast host Shane Gillis and performer Tony Hinchcliffe, calling them “racist” and “sexist.”

“I knew about Tony Hinchcliffe and Shane [Gillis] and their backgrounds,” Handler told Deon Cole on his podcast “Funny Knowing You.” She said ex-girlfriends of Gillis’ reached out to her before the roast with information about the comic. When Cole pressed Handler for details, she spoke more broadly about Gillis and Hinchcliffe.
