'He told me I was fat': Chelsea Handler proudly poses in a mismatched bikini as she reveals ex criticized her figure 

There's no doubt she's body confident as she proves by stripping off on social media on a regular basis.

And Chelsea Handler flaunted her figure once again on Sunday, showing off her bikini bod with a huge smile on her face as she sadly revealed she has been on the receiving end of body-shaming.

The 40-year-old stands with hands resting on the tops of her thighs as she captions: 'You know, I had a boyfriend who told me my boobs were too big and that I was fat. And then, I looked in the mirror.'

The beaming grin on Chelsea's face said it all as she displayed her honed abs.

The former E! star is seen wearing a patterned halter-style top and fuchsia tie-detail briefs as she appears to be standing in a dressing room with a striped visor completing the look.

Meanwhile, Chelsea has just adopted a second dog called Tammy.

The actress shared a photo of herself alongside her new addition as well as pooch Chunk, writing alongside the snap 'My family'.

Chelsea recently asked about whether she wanted to fill David Letterman's shoes when he announced his retirement from The Late Show last year.

Chelsea was adamant when she told reporters at the Television Critics Association last week: 'I was not interested in going to a network. I was never interested in taking someone else's job,' 

'That's not an interesting job for me,' added the former Chelsea Lately host.

The funny woman was at the event in Beverly Hills, California as part of Netflix's day of presentations to reporters, promoting her upcoming talk show and documentary series for the online-streaming network.

When the question of moving to a late-night show on a traditional network came up, Chelsea indicated that she had been approached about it but that 'it was never a very serious conversation.'

On Netflix, Chelsea will produce and star in a talk show after she finishes work on her upcoming documentary series of films, Chelsea Does.

Four of the documentaries have been planned, each focusing on a different topic: Chelsea Does Marriage, Chelsea Does Racism, Chelsea Does Silicon Valley, and Chelsea Does Drugs.

'It's been a really transitional year for me,' Chelsea said of her move to Netflix from E!.  

'A lot of changes have happened and to have this come together in a way that I'm so proud of - I don't know that I've ever been able to say that about something I've done before.'
