She's a comedian, so, I can believe she said that but I am inclined not to believe she was being anything other than funny.

I really wish more people would see comedians as performers playing characters and not necessarily people talking about their own hilarious lives.
Ricky Gervais talks about this pretty explicitly in his most recent special. One of my favorites is when Daniel Tosh says in one of his shows “My girlfriend is Asian…for this next joke.”

Yeah, as a fan of stand up, it blows my mind how people can't understand how talking in a way that isn't normally socially acceptable, can be really fucking fun. You get to bend the rules any which way, as an art form
Being true isn't even ancillary to what is going on, it's straight up not even required, and often times would just get in the way.

Iirc Louis CK had one like that too, like “I was hanging out with my friend Dave the other day, and well his names not really Dave but it doesn’t matter because I’m lying”
Or something like that
Basically “don’t worry about if any of it happened or not, just enjoy the joke”

Maybe but if you watch Handler long enough, it doesn’t really take too long, you’ll see a lot of examples of her ‘being funny.’ She says a lot of real airhead shit and looks genuinely pissed when she is called out on it.

All part of the act.

The performance that started the day she was born and will come to a close on her deathbed. She's method acting the role of a lifelong vapid dumbass.
