Chelsea Handler has made no secret of her penchant for alcohol, but a revealing on-camera interview with one of her former friends has lifted the lid on the depths of her destructive lifestyle.
Morgain McGovern gives a shocking look into the wild partying which she says almost killed her, in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com.
"I've done pharmaceutical grade ecstasy twice in my life and both times she was involved," said McGovern, who was friends with the late night talk show host and comedian in 2003 and claims they did cocaine and ecstasy on a regular basis.

"I thought, I am going to die, I'm going to die if I hang out with these girls."
McGovern -- who eventually moved away -- says she doesn't know if Handler, 36, is still doing drugs, but believes she is still drinking heavily.

"Someone should have staged an intervention," she said. "Every time we went out, drugs were involved."
McGovern is currently penning a book, The Traveling Roadshow Of The Countess Maritsa, about her life as the daughter of a con artist mother, and has a blog.

I think there's a good point to what you're saying, but this was an interview for my book. My early 20's had stories of Chelsea in it-and this is what they focused on. These were funny stories.

Obviously she can still party in her recreational time and still develop a successful career. This makes you look jealous and week. She was wise to get a new friend.

I could see how it would make me look bad, but I was telling a funny story about us being young and drugged up- it wasn't supposed to be mean spirited. She already told these stories herself.

It seems to me like you are just trying to exploit your "friendship" to create a little fame for yourself. Regardless of who you chose to party with, grow up and accept responsibility for the decisions you made.

So that explains why she is such a train wreck...IMO this person is disgusting and shouldn't be near the other end of a TV camera. She has NO BUSINESS being heard!

I'm asked to believe a women who's mother is a con artist? I think I see why she's a former friend.
