During the episode, she said she did not know Kennedy and Hines were the previous owners when she bought the home five years ago.

“I bought his house from him and Cheryl Hines. I still have not lived in this house,” she said. “The idea that this guy is in charge of the health of our country when he didn't even have a proper foundation at his house.”

Handler said she was advised against living in the home for at least two years and was told it was “the most toxic environment.” She also complained that Kennedy left an illegal outdoor storage unit on the property.
