One fan said, “She uses her privilege to talk about her privilege, to make more of that privileged money. Yet, she thinks she's so woke. She's like an annoying, drunken aunt that's stuck in her hippie days.” The other wrote, “Chelsea Handler channelling her personal guilt over her huge unwarranted success as a pretty woman with a foul mouth to blame all white people, 99.9% of whom will never enjoy her privileged life. Embarrassing and insulting.” Another user added, “Well I gave it a chance but This was a complete waste of time. A documentary on white privilege and a lot of self-flagellation. That's the whole storyline. Really... interviewing experts on whiteness? Showing her mansion and people that work for her... Boring, predictable and prejudice.” Take a look below.
