Chelsea Handler set the record straight about why her four-year relationship with Ted Harbert really ended way back in 2010 - four months after indicating threesomes might have been the catalyst for the split.
The 48-year-old comedian flippantly named the 68-year-old former Comcast Entertainment Group CEO by name while recalling how they'd have ménage à trois with their female masseuse, whom she was 'very turned on by' in bed.
'I ended up hooking up with her several times without the guy that I was dating. That's when I knew it was time to break up with the guy,' Chelsea candidly confessed on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show on June 8.
'I don't think I ever revealed that [to him]. Hopefully he's listening now. His name is Ted Harbert.'
Handler joked that she enjoys threesomes with a woman and a man rather than two men because 'she can do all the stuff that I'm too f***ing lazy to do.'

The Grammy Award nominee's TMI comments managed to upset Harbert - who's still 'a very dear friend of mine' - and he messaged her: 'That was not cool. Please don't do that again. Some things are better left private.'
'I want to go on the record that that is not why our relationship ended,' Chelsea announced on Wednesday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
'We did have a lot of threesomes - and while that's private, it's already out there, so I'm gonna double down on that - and just say that we didn't break up because I left him for the masseuse. That didn't happen.'
Handler jokingly added: 'So many people came up to me and they were like, "Wow, that gave Ted Harbert a lot of street cred. Who knew he was having threesomes?" So, I just want to say he was!'
Back in 2012, the New Jersey-born blonde said she stopped dating the native New Yorker because the two couldn't separate business and pleasure.
'I would come home from work, and Ted would be like, "Do you want to watch your show?"' Chelsea told Marie Claire.
'And I'd be like, "No, I just came from my show. That's the last thing I'd want to do." That was the reason it didn't work out, ultimately. I think.'
The Dear Chelsea podcaster didn't start dating Ted - who oversaw all programming on E! - until after she was already hosting The Chelsea Handler Show for the cable network 'contrary to public belief.'
And while Harbert has been married to former HR exec Lisa Medrano for the past 12 years - Handler has romanced comedian Jo Koy, chef Bobby Flay, hotelier André Balazs, rapper 50 Cent, and comedian David Alan Grier.
The Daily Show guest host will next bring her 37-date Little Big B**** Tour to The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC this Friday.
