She also discussed the reason for
breaking up with the comedian and said, “There was just some behaviours
that we couldn’t agree on. And it felt to me like I would have to abandon
myself, which maybe I would have been OK to do if I were 20 or 25. But I wasn’t
willing to do that.” She continued by saying, “I was like,
‘I’m not going to change the way that I behave in order to make you feel more
comfortable. I’m not doing that.” Chelsea also admitted that she
considered it to be a “forever relationship.”
