The world had a spectrum of reactions to Brangelina's breakup, but trust Chelsea Handler to spin it with sarcasm over sympathy.

Handler, a long time friend of Jennifer Aniston's, addressed rumors that the couple split was due to Pitt's rumored drug and alcohol consumption.

“I wonder why he would need to self-medicate,” Handler said. “Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12 years at Lake Como hanging out with George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages. Oh yeah, because he married a f*cking lunatic, that’s why.”

That...is not a particularly sensitive statement, to say the least.

Handler didn't elaborate further on her strong stance about the Jolie-Pitt family, but did say that while she's done discussing the divorce on-air, she may still delve into it on Twitter.

"She seems like a demon," Handler said of Jolie in 2013. "It has nothing to do with Jennifer. As a woman, I know when you see somebody walking across the room that's a bad girl. I just don't like Angelina Jolie."

Chelsea streams on Netflix on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
