Chelsea Handler in Hot Water With Serbians Over Remarks
, The Facebook page calling for a boycott begins.“Along with Chris Franjola , Natasha Leggero , and Greg Proops , Ms. Handler for 3 straight minutes ruthlessly attacked Serbia and its people. The verbal attacks came after a clearly intoxicated Amy Winehouse ‘performed’ in front of 20,000 people in Belgrade. After and during the performance, the people in attendance and state officials criticized Amy Winehouse, who had difficulty singing as a result of what would seem to be heroin usage. At this point, the attacks went from criticizing Amy Winehouse to attacking Serbia and its people,”the missive continues (with 15,000 Facebook “likes” as of Thursday afternoon).
The man behind the page, Filip Filipi , who works with Chicago-based anti-defamation group “28.Jun” which looks out for Serbian interests in the western media, said via phone Thursday that he was “in talks” with Handler’s management team regarding an official apology, thought to be forthcoming.

“Hopefully it will be today or tomorrow,” he said.
The largest outrage in Belgrade and beyond this week seems reserved for Handler’s remarks, which aired later in the June 20th segment, where she seemed to insinuate, jokingly or not, that the entire country of Serbia was a “disappointment.”
“The worst comment by Ms. Handler came at the conclusion of the assault on the Serbian people. In implying that somehow Serbs should not use Facebook, Ms. Handler read the statement of Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac who said that the the concert was a shame and a disappointment. At this point, Ms. Handler says that "Guess what? So is your country," meaning that Serbia and its people are a shame and disappointment, as well.”
In addition to the Facebook page, a woman named Jelena Ajdarević has started a change.org petition also in an effort to draw attention to Handler’s remarks, so far with over 7,000 signatures.
A NBC Universal/E! Networks corporate communications representative handling Handler’s show said Thursday they do not have a statement yet. An email sent to Handler’s manager at CAA has yet to be returned.
Thursday afternoon, Handler’s own Facebook page seems to be offline, but it’s not known if that is a result of the thousands of angry Serbians voicing their concerns over the remarks or for other reasons.

Amy Winehouse Needs To 'Tackle Twin Demons' To Overcome Addiction ...
“Artists frequently feel that they need to be in an altered state to be at their creative best and if they have traditionally been high while they have felt most prolific then this belief is reinforced,” Dr. Khaleghi tells us. “Frequently there is a lack of awareness that once the person is addicted, the quality of their artistic achievement is very diminished. In Amy’s case, her addiction lead to her inability to perform on stage and the cancellation of her concert tour.”
For Winehouse, this reinforcement could be particularly dangerous. Her biggest U.S. hit is, after all, a song called “Rehab,” and she has been celebrated for channeling her inner demons, which have included her troubles with alcohol and drugs, into her lyrics.
Dr. Khaleghi says that another major concern for Winehouse’s recovery is that so many people in her life have a financially vested interest in seeing her work – they earn their livelihood through her and are less likely to push for her to seek treatment because that would cripple their income.
“Intervention can be used to get Amy into treatment, however, it requires that there be people close to Amy that are vested in her recovery. Those people can be her significant other, family members and friends,” Dr. Khaleghi says. “Through the process of becoming free from addiction Amy can come to connect the dots that lead her down her current path and discover the pain that lead to use, learn the places that she is most vulnerable and the triggers that lead to use. In understanding all of this she will know how to prevent relapse.
