Chelsea Handler Said She's 'Done' With Going On Vacation With Her Siblings' Partners, And People Are Seriously Divided

Chelsea Handler has sparked a debate after she candidly stated that she is 'done' going on vacation with her siblings' partners.
For reference, 50-year-old Chelsea has never married and doesn't have children, and she is the youngest of six siblings. Her oldest brother, Chet, tragically died in 1984, and she previously said that this loss helped to keep her, Shoshanna, Simone, Glen, and Roy 'a tight-knit group.'
Speaking to the New York Times in 2022, Chelsea included her brothers and sisters in a list of her favorite things, saying at the time: 'It's really nice to have adult closeness with all of your siblings. They're the only people in your life who understand exactly what you went through with your parents growing up.'
'We've gotten closer and closer as we've gotten older,' she added. 'There are five of us. We're a big pack, a unit. My most meaningful relationships are with my siblings."
Chelsea is also incredibly close with her siblings' children. Back in 2017, she proudly posted a photo to Instagram with 'all' of her nieces and nephews, though it's not known if she has welcomed any more since. For reference, in 2017, she was an auntie to eight children.
And in June last year, Chelsea shared a selection of vacation snaps as she revealed that she had taken all of the kids on a trip that was gatecrashed by two of the adults.

Captioning the post at the time, the star wrote: 'I brought my nieces and nephews on a children's ONLY trip, except we had two adult interlopers who wormed their way in and are also related. Mi familia.'
But despite the cool in-law points that these trips inevitably earned her, Chelsea has now admitted that she is going to be more selective with who she vacations with in the future.

Speaking on Olivia Attwood's So Wrong It's Right podcast, Chelsea matter-of-factly said: 'I told my brothers and sisters this year that I'm done with their spouses. I'm like: 'I don't need to go on vacation with your spouses anymore,' I didn't marry these people.'
'I've extended my generosity for 25 years, I've brought all of your children and all of your spouses on vacations, multiple vacations a year for 25 years, and now I want to vacation with the people that I want to vacation with, and they're not your spouses,' she went on. 'I'm sure this is very relatable to people who also don't enjoy traveling with their siblings' spouses.'
But it seems as though Chelsea's comments aren't as relatable as she may have thought, with some criticizing the star in the comments of a TikTok video from the pod.
One person wrote: 'that's honestly awful. yikes,' and another added: 'I'm married, if someone doesn't want to hang out with my spouse, too bad. See you in neveruary.'
'too bad, they are ur family now,' somebody else agreed, while one more wrote: 'Oh, that's just sad and boring. I love my sisters-in-law. I don't think a vacation would be the same without them now.'
'I would rather vacation with my brothers wife than my actual brother,' another echoed.
But not everybody felt this way, with others agreeing with Chelsea, saying that they also value sibling-only time.
'You don't like to spend time with your sibling?' one person wrote in response to the negative comments. 'My siblings and I do sibling (no spouse/partner) trips all the time because we just want to hang out.'
'Normalize siblings only,' somebody else agreed, while one more quipped: 'in my family we call it 'the originals.''
Another user joked: 'As a spouse thank you I don't want to be there,' and somebody else concluded: 'I would prefer it if my husband's siblings excluded me more often.'

Gen Z's Important Message on Why Women Need To 'Zoom Out' Goes Viral

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 25-year-old woman who spent years picking apart photos of herself before posting—or deleting—them has shared a powerful message on Instagram, racking up more than 3.4 million views. Emma-Kirsty Fraser posted a candid photo of herself laughing with a friend alongside the caption: "ZOOM OUT, I beg. I think it's quite terrifying when you realize how much brainwashing it took to get you to zoom in and criticize yourself in so much detail?" The National Organization for Women (NOW) found that 53 percent of American girls say they are unhappy with their bodies by age 13. By 17, that number jumps to 78 percent. It is a statistic that resonates deeply with Fraser, who deleted nearly every photo of herself taken between the ages of 17 and 21. Two screenshots from the viral video showing a close-up of Fraser's arm and the full image, of Fraser and her friend. Two screenshots from the viral video showing a close-up of Fraser's arm and the full image, of Fraser and her friend. Instagram/@ordinaryemm_ "I used to delete group photos if I thought I looked 'bad,'" Fraser told Newsweek. "I wish I hadn't. It was never about how I actually looked—it was how I felt about my body. Thankfully, that's changed, but I'll never get those photos back." In the video, Fraser zooms in on her arms, chin and legs before cutting back to the full image with the text: "Imagine the brainwashing required to get us to see this … instead of this." Fraser, who comes from South Africa, said she had a moment recently where she almost fell back into old habits. "I was at an event and got some photos back, and for a tiny second, I nearly zoomed in on myself," she said. "Then I just looked at the full picture and thought, 'Wow, I've come a long way.'" Just a few years ago, Fraser added, her appearance felt like the most important part of her identity. "Physical appearance was the most-important thing to me," she said. "I thought it was the most-interesting thing about me and that I had to uphold some sort of reputation for being disciplined, strong, skinny etc. "I was always viewing myself through this critical lens," Fraser added. She traces much of that mindset back to growing up around body-obsessed media and behavior. "It started with trash magazines," Fraser said. "And older generations picking apart their bodies in front of us didn't help." These days, she takes a more balanced approach. "I try to stay neutral," she said. "I don't let myself stare too long in the mirror. I don't go up close to analyze my face anymore. I realized no one else is looking at me that way—and, even if they were, I'm more than my body. And my body's more than how it looks." Fraser credits sport for helping shift her perspective. She said: "Sport reminded me that my body can do cool things. That's what I want to remember when I look back on my life. I want to have those photos—and the memories—to show for it." Fraser's video has drawn almost 30,000 likes and a flood of supportive comments. "At every point I was like, what is she talking about? Yeah, I see her arm?" one commenter wrote. "I assume you're pointing out imperfections, but I literally don't see them." Another posted: "The fact I saw this picture and ONLY thought about how it was such a beautiful candid and captured your vibe perfectly." And a third added: "Crazy part? What am I even looking at? The tattoos? Then I realized … it really is so sad. Instead of living and laughing with friends, we're worrying about this stuff."

Woman on Vacation Picks Fresh Oranges for Juice—Horror at What's in Glass

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A video showing a mother and daughter making orange juice from street-side fruit in Portugal has gone viral on TikTok, due to the unexpected discovery of what appeared to be maggots writhing in their freshly squeezed drink. Posted by TikTok user @rubywillow._, the video was filmed last week in Portugal's Algarve region and has garnered more than 9.3 million views since it was shared on June 18. It begins with a caption overlaid on the video saying: "You thought it was a good idea to make fresh orange juice in Portugal … it was not." The footage shows a woman collecting fallen oranges from beneath a tree along a public street, with an empty plastic bag in hand. The video then cuts to scenes of the fruit being juiced, and a close-up of the freshly squeezed liquid reveals small white organisms moving visibly in the glass.

While her mother consumed half-a-glass and she herself took a single sip, she said, "neither of us were unwell afterward." Suzanne Hyslop, a qualified nutritionist at the Ocean Recovery Centre in the U.K., told Newsweek that the movement in the juice "could very well be fruit fly or other small insects that had burrowed in." She added that "this can happen when oranges are overripe or damaged or have been left on the tree too long." The incident, while amusing to some, comes amid broader challenges facing citrus production in Portugal and elsewhere in southern Europe. A June 2023 report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that citrus production in the European Union is primarily based in Mediterranean countries. Spain and Italy are the top producers, followed by Greece, Portugal, and Cyprus. The report stated: "A reduction in EU citrus production is expected mainly in Spain with an almost 18 percent decrease, the lowest citrus production levels since the last decade." It also noted that reductions are projected in Italy and Portugal, particularly in orange yields. Spain's crop alone accounts for roughly 65 percent of the EU's citrus production. Hyslop said: "Picking fruit straight from a tree sounds wonderfully natural, but there are some important things to keep in mind." She cautioned against picking fruit from trees in public areas, adding: "Even in a country known for its fresh produce, safety requires proper handling, hygiene and also quality control," Hyslop said. The nutritionist added that, without knowing how a tree is maintained or what it has been exposed to, there is "no guarantee it's safe to consume." She highlighted possible contaminants such as vehicle emissions, pesticides, animal droppings and other urban pollutants. Despite the mishap, the video has entertained and alarmed viewers in equal measure. User isntthisweird said: "I have never seen maggots in any type of citrus, that's crazy." User house of james noted: "Oh no. I was expecting you to try it and it being sour, but oh my! Disturbing!!" User natasharoots said: "Hmmm extra protein orange juice." User Jennie from the block wrote: "the amount of people that didn't notice the very visible worms swimming in the juice." Do you have a travel-related video or story to share?
