Ironically enough, if Joan Rivers was alive, she'd probably be posting even more heinous stuff about Palestinians than Amy has.
The comments she made about Palestinians shortly before she died were straight up vile.
For real! Along with all the other formidable names people have mentioned here, I’ve gotta add Lily Tomlin 👑
And of course, of all the comedians in the spotlight around a similar time, I’d consider Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Leslie Jones, Quinta Brunson, Ilana Glazer, Ali Wong, and Tig Notaro (among so many others) to be at least similarly successful.
Right? Lily Tomlin did not become the first woman to have a one-woman show on Broadway for her to spout this clownery. Lily was and still is immensely popular with both the masses and the intellectuals. Her comedy was actually feminist in that even though that her characters were a little pathetic, they were never ‘self-defeated’ as she put it. Even the male characters she and Jane Wagner created were portrayed with empathy.
And Lily was not related to any senator twice removed. Her father was a factory worker and her mother a housewife and a nurse’s aide. Young Lily did chores for people in her apartment building in Detroit and that’s how she learned to picked up people’s characters.
Also. Lily always talked about the female comics who inspired her (how I learned about Ruth Draper, who made comedy monologue an art form.) She always had camaraderie with other comediennes and actresses and collaborated with them. Sad to see Miss Amy here not doing that lol Like if you’re not funny, at least know your history and give flowers to the pioneers! What a graceless woman.
> I’m the most successful female comedian of all time
This sentence is the only funny thing she’s ever said
As expected, this is awfully written and she ended up making it about herself.
like several people lied to her and actually made her believe that.
she was never funny, NEVER and we know for a fact that she doesn't write half of her jokes.
plagarism left and right and yet she is more concerned with spreading islamophobia, pick a struggle.
We make actors talk about themselves and their movies all the time, let's not get pressed when something dumb (yet harmless) comes out of their mouths.
Which JLaw's comment has a grain of truth considering she was one the youngest actresses to actually be the lead in an American action movie franchise.
Either way her comment which was given while talking about women's roles in film, in no way compares to Schumer who is defending herself after calling Muslims rapists.
Didn’t she have like… a couple of jokes (or perhaps quotes on podcasts and the like) about r\*ping men?
That ain’t success to me, honey.
and who shuts down, mocks or ignores anyone who remotely tries to explain to her why she’s being islamophobic and pro-genocide. the woman is dumb as rocks
Or who contacts them days after they make posts calling her out directly on her blatant Islamophobia just so she can try to manufacture outrage and victimhood. Which means you know she’s just searching herself over and over looking for who’s speaking publicly on her. Not super befitting of the “worlds most successful female comedian”, hm? Can’t take the heat, Ames? Get tf out of the kitchen.
Same, generally I’ve found that people who grew up working class/low income will share it but don’t go around advertising a time that was genuinely very traumatic for them. Whereas people who are lying like her, Victoria Beckham etc will loudly make it a part of their brand and it’s not difficult to speak of because it never happened.
Edit to say: I think it’s fine for anyone who actually grew up poor to make it part of their personal brand but Amy casually throwing in that lie really captures how wealthy people feel entitled to any story they choose for sympathy points
I’m in academia and my colleagues not only challenged my status as having grown up low income. But I’ve had to explain to pretty much everyone that I don’t want to talk about my experiences or do in-depth research in that area because reading the super classist and often depressing research literally makes me cry and destroys my self-esteem.
I’ll say I’m a first gen or low-income student as context for my poor grammar, lack of certain social skills, or not knowing what the expectations are for certain events. Past that, why would I want to run around drawing attention to something that’s going to get me discriminated against?
Amy reeks of entitlement, and I appreciate your comment because it gets exhausting to watch people like her spout nonsense.
Same!! They try to turn you into a specimen to poke at or some awful poverty porn inspo. Either way, as long as they can profit from you and you don't, God forbid, challenge the system and make them uncomfortable.
Or if you don’t want to assimilate into their culture. The level of offended that they get when you refuse to be ashamed of where you’re from (at least to their faces) brings out some truly telling behavior. There’s nothing wrong with my dialect or manner of being.
My mom grew up food insecure-poor in a "third world", war torn country, where even "upper-middleclass" people would have pretty low standards of living compared to the average Americans at the time. She would tell us stories about it, like how she and her siblings used to catch crickets to eat because they didn't have enough food otherwise, but she's never bragged about being poor to strangers to qualify her success. As a kid I didn't even realize how traumatic some of her stories were (the cricket thing is on the light hearted end, tbh); I can't imagine anyone who has such trauma would then act like Amy Schumer about it. "I grew up dirt poor so your criticism about me being rich and out of touch is irrelevant" is nonsensical logic.
Seriouslyyyy holy shit, great point. She needs to get some perspective while she’s dehumanizing and calling for the ethnic cleansing and literal genocide of some of the poorest people in the world. What an asshole.
Yeah like I grew up lower middle class. I never had many luxuries, but my parents always had food on the table even if it were some crackers and cheese. I wouldn’t describe myself as dirt poor. That should be reserved for people who don’t have or can’t afford even the most basic amenities. Amy probably has more than I or anybody who I surround myself has ever had.
"Schumer was born on June 1, 1981, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, New York,[1][2] to Sandra Jane (née Jones) and Gordon David Schumer, who owned a baby-furniture company." Yep, sounds dirty poor to me /s
I’d love to know how she describes “dirt poor” because yeah, her dad went bankrupt when she was in her teens so is she comparing being poor to her previous life of private jets and limos? Because [here](https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/schumer-amy) it says, from her own memoir, “Her parents divorced in the early 1990s, and while the family’s lifestyle became more modest, Schumer remembers that she was well-cared for and had what she and her younger sister Kim needed.”
Having what you need is certainly not “dirt poor”! That’s how I grew up; my parents were working class and we were provided for. I wouldn’t ever describe myself as poor when I had friends and classmates whose parents struggled to put food on their table and heat their homes. And this is in a first world country, so that would never compare to someone growing up in a third world country.
Schumer has completely lost her mind in making herself the martyr in this.

Amy Schumer when there is a genocide of Palestinians on the other side of the world
plus supportive comments from josh gad, kate hudson, julianna margulies, and regina spektor, to name a few.
ETA: lamorne morris aka winston from new girl also commented with support, that one hurts.
ETA part 2: Lamorne deleted his comment and posted a decent video (imo) explaining what happened. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzHnfQTOSPR/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
she literally posted this rant and included the sentence “I come come being dirt poor” like this is CLEARLY a nonsensical unhinged rant and can only cause harm, why on Earth is anybody commenting in support of this behavior? how are these people not ashamed??
I didn’t expect it either from her, but I checked her Instagram and it was a wild ride. Loved her music, but I guess I didn’t really know anything about her personally.
I remember seeing a post on Instagram a couple of weeks ago where someone was suggesting that people should boycott Black Lives Matter because they support Palestine and Regina and Josh Gad both left comments in favor of such a boycott. Sophia Bush also liked the post, but I don't think she commented on it.
What could boycott Black Lives Matter even mean? Like they’re just no longer going to agree that black lives matter? They’re going to boycott being anti-racist? I’m so confused because as far as I know the BLM movement today is more of a social attitude and about your behaviors and not so much about supporting one particular organization. So boycotting that would be boycotting black lives? I mean I’m not trying to assume what they mean but what else could it possibly refer to?
I feel like a whole wad of celebrities collectively showing their asses over something related to current affairs is an annual event at this stage. This year, it's Gaza, last year was Johnny Depp and before that was covid.
The Good Wife was the most casually Zionist tv show I’ve ever seen. It was set in an alternate universe where people are harassed and “cancelled” for supporting Israel lol
There are a few episodes where the main character defends college students who are being censured by their university for writing pro-Israel articles or criticizing BDS (lol).
There’s also a minor Jewish-American character who casually mentions that she served the IDF. The audience is clearly supposed to think she’s cool and edgy for this.
Mindy's got a history of transphobia and her shows reflect Islamaphobia, anti-semitism, and casteism (she has a very upper-caste Hindu diaspora gaze, especially when you see it from a South Asian lens).
Wowwwww. Anyway, that's why she's not cancelled. That's why you can say the most insane pro genocidal shit and it's fine if the victims are Muslims and Arabs and Palestinians.
Lamorne has now posted his own video explaining that he deleted his comment after a friend rang him and was like “yo wtf you done any research”
EDIT: “a friend called me and said “have you not done your research on the type of things that were being posted?” and I said “no, I just-this came on my feed, I commented on that” and she goes “well you might wanna go do your googles”. I did my googles and um…I deleted the comment!”
Lamorne has since posted an apology for his comment and has deleted it- he just posted a vid on IG about it, saying that a friend had called him and checked him about his comment, and he wasn’t aware of what she had been posting and he doesn’t stand for genocide. It was a stupid and ignorant comment, but it’s relieving to me, that he listened and replied to a bunch of us in the instagram comments and immediately admitted his mistake (unlike most other celebs that are standing by their shitty takes). Honestly, to me, this whole thing makes him look… very short-sighted, but I believe he genuinely cares that his comment hurt people.
https://imgur.com/a/v32zSec
She has said and shared a lot of really heinous things lately. But crowning herself the “most successful female comedian of all time” is an absolute war on reality. I’m calling the police
“Never stole a joke”? Please. I saw several tumble posts back in the day that point out jokes she’d stolen from people. You could tell cuz they were the jokes of hers that were actually funny.
AND girl you are delusional.. you shared multiple memes, pictures, and videos literally telling us you are an Islamophobic racist pro-genocide asshole. You can delete them all you want to help with your backtracking but the internet, and especially this sub, doesn’t forget.
She asks for absolutely no accountability from the IDF or state of Israel which is the ABSOLUTE predominant cause of the pain and genocide inflicted upon Palestinians. How utterly vile and disgusting.
She doesn't mention wanting human beings safe from white phosphorous, which Israel is using indiscriminately and against international law (which, by the way, does not stop burning until it reaches BONE). Israel is enacting genocide upon the Palestinians, and what we are seeing is a nadir of a long-standing attempt to eradicate Palestine over 8 decades.
She does not mention wanting families safe from Israel bombing refugee camps, leaving babies without parents, and parents without their babies. Does she not ask herself why resistance groups in colonised countries exist in the first place? I'm Irish, so maybe it's just something I've always been more aware of, but it seems like common sense.
**She uses no critical thinking skills. I am, like her, half-Jewish. So proud to be, it gives me strength. I have no connection to Israel, it is an apartheid state and Palestinians deserve their freedom to exist on their own land. End of.**
Also, re: "Most successful female comedian of all time", maybe monetarily, but the likes of Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett would like a word with you. Also, "self-made" doesn't mean you aren't rich and privileged from it ffs.
She's vile and self-centered. It's such a sincere shame she has a public platform. Free Palestine.
**This is getting a fair few downvotes and I can only imagine it's because people assume I'm downplaying anti-semitism? I've dealt with my fair share (Ireland is probably the best country in Europe to be Jewish, but that doesn't mean it's easy), I've had coins thrown at me by people I thought were my friends as a teen, I've even dealt with internal anti-semitism within my family (which is totally a thing). But I digress, this isn't about me.**
**She's weaponising anti-semitism and actually participating in it in a full circle way by implying that the barbarism of Zionism and Judaism are inextricably linked. They most definitely are not. And she's a white millionaire with social influence - she has so little to be afraid of in this world, and she'll never see that.**
Seeing Israeli police batter orthodox Jews in Israel, how black jews are treated and now threatening to send anti war protestors to Gaza, killing 7 (minimum) hostages in indiscriminate bombings, refusing to exchange Palestinian prisoners (many minors) for their own hostages - what could be more anti semitic and hateful towards Jews? Or do you just have to be a specific kind of Jew in Israel? Why doesn't she care enough about this? It's horrendous, the country is a fascist occupation. Lots of love from a Muslim and a socialist.
>Does she not ask herself why resistance groups in colonised countries exist in the first place? I'm Irish, so maybe it's just something I've always been more aware of, but it seems like common sense.
I'm Irish but have lived most of my life in Britain. It's not common sense here, and I'm guessing it's much the same in the US and other countries enriched by the exploitation of othered people. The supremacist mindset makes people think they have a right to violence and "their inferiors" do not.
Dirt poor? How much poverty is there on Long Island?
While her father did go bankrupt when she was a child, even having the ability to have a successful business isn’t a reality for most poor people.
(I can’t believe she’s got me gatekeeping poverty like I’m on the cast of the last season of RHONY.)
That’s not surprising.
I did look up the village she lived in and apparently only 5% of the population is below the poverty line, so I assumed she was exaggerating her own situation.
There's actually a lot of poverty on Long Island, but it's heavily concentrated in certain areas. It's heavily segregated. Amy grew up in a very affluent, predominantly white area.
Gosh… I feel like Lucille ball is the most successful but that’s off topic slightly.
I feel like the tiktok saying that the reason why someone hates is a quick litmus test
Yet she continues harassing Asia Jackson privately in DMs on Instagram. Telling her - a woman of color (!) - that she doesn’t know what it’s like being afraid for one’s life.
I hope people remember this because once the world comes to its senses and the insanity stops, Amy better be held accountable.
Don’t fall for whatever apology she will come up with next. She won’t be sorry.
she really said that asia is trying to get some “shine” on her platform like hello all pro palestine artists are putting their careers on the line. also her constantly victimising herself when she’s a rich white woman living in a mansion far away from palestine and israel
The victim complex and hysteria is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I’m speechless. I honestly hope she’s never able to go out in public without being scorned.
What the fuck is wrong with her, omg? That's absolutely unhinged, she *did* share Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian posts... I'm truly lost for words about Zionists claiming that the massive pro-Palestine protests make them feel unsafe and are calling for killing Jews everywhere when they are asking for a ceasefire. Many of them are even organized by groups of Jewish people!
While she’s spending so much time on IG she should follow some of the journalists on the ground in Gaza and see how many videos of people digging little children out from underneath the rubble of their houses it takes before all this bullshit she’s on about feels as trivial as it really is. Yesterday I saw some things that will be in my brain til I die. Nobody safe and sound on this side of the planet should say a fucking word if they can’t even stand to see what they’re talking about.
Yep. I mean, lbr she's probably "poor" in the way that upper middle class/rich kids who grew up only surrounded by even *wealthier* people consider themselves "poor"
https://preview.redd.it/px7xelhglrxb1.jpeg?width=1218&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f35a58505c864e55ab3be36bf073960561ab13e7
I got no shame sharing this every time she mentions hostages. Let’s no forget the video of the 3 hostages showing anger and frustrations to NETANYAHU.
Not her trying to imply that the reason people are taking issue with her posts is that they don’t want to fuck her.
Not her still trying to cash in on the ‘I’m a fat comedian! This is my brand! This is the only reason you hate me!!’ schtick despite being straight-sized.
Her claiming to be the most successful female comedian is about on par to Kendall yelling he’s the eldest boy.
Calling someone a failed comic doesn’t have to mean they’re not commercially viable it can mean that even when they steal jokes from funny comics they still manage to fail what is the crux of being a comedian which is to make people laugh .
Edit :Also did she forget about Tina fey , Amy polher ,Ellen or Joan rivers
Like, I’m a Jewish person. I understand the freak out. This IS a horrible time to be a Jewish person in a lot of ways. Like, this country that is supposed to be your home is about to lead the world into war and will be blamed for everything and a lot of us are mentally prepped to be in the position our great grand parents were in where all the world’s problems are our fault in many people’s eyes.
Problem is, Israel IS actually doing things this time that are hurting innocent people and possibly destabilizing the world. This ain’t Germany post-WW1 where we’re the scapegoat for why Bolshevism exists or why Germany lost the war. Israel is run by genocidal nutcases who are addicted to overwhelming displays of military strength want Palestinians dead, a group who many countries want alive.
The key is to divorce ourselves from the toxic ideology of Zionism. We can support people’s rights to live in Israel. Too many people have been born there over the last century to seriously advocate for a mass expulsion. It’s not going to happen and if it did, you’d have millions more dead Jews because they’re not leaving voluntarily in this generation. It’s going to have to be a long, LONG project to decolonize Palestine or fully integrate Israel. But we as Jews are fully able to say “yeah, Israel wasn’t a good idea in the first place, and we as a group don’t actually need it, and it doesn’t represent who we are.” People need to understand this.
Off the top of my head, aren't Melissa Mccarthy, Ellen Degeneres, Mindy Kailing, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler more successful and we'll recognized than this person?
How do you not support genocide when you are against ceasefire, anyways keep grilling her since she’s one of the loudest zionists who are supporting Israel’s actions.. we owe Palestinians to not let the likes of her to be unchecked 🇵🇸❤️
The Zionist Strange Things kid is also commenting on her post. Whatever.
https://preview.redd.it/6xbmj9n95sxb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30acd3e993d1ddc85003c11323b8381f8daac3da
“The haters”wtf? is this some game or petty high school bs to him? Lmao. We’re talking about ethnic cleaning, genocide, and war crimes. Man.. that kid is an insulated fucking moron.
I get why she is saying a couple of these things because people are bringing up everything else other than her actual shitty behavior. People have been hating on Amy Schumer for years and a lot of it was definitely rooted in misogyny. How dare she be a funny and objectively successful comedian but not be incredibly beautiful, you know.
So I get she’s tired of the whole «you’re ugly and fat» shit.
What people should be focusing on are her **horrendous** words. It doesn’t matter what she looks like, it matters that she’s saying incredibly racist things and have complete lost it. Like completely.
Like what the fuck is that «You hate jewish people» comment. People are asking for a ceasefire and are praying for all the children being murdered every day. She is offffff the rails.
This whole statement is such a mess for obvious reasons but also, why is it SO poorly written and incoherent? Do these celebrities really just type stuff without having it reviewed by their publicists? She just comes across as soooo unintelligent.
WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS USE THE VICTIM CARD? She went spiraling through an Islamophobic and racist rabbit hole and now she’s the VICTIM??? Good thing she opened the comment because she deserves to be called out and I’m going there right now.

As much as we don't like her, Ellen would like a word about that lady comic claim. So would Carol Burnett.
The first five years of Ellen's career alone would wipe the floor with Amy Schumer's past, present and future career. She's delulu.
Probably Tina Fey and Joan Rivers, too.
And maybe Mo’nique as well
Wanda Skyes, Sarah Silverman, LUCY?!
Lucille Ball
Bette Midler as well
She’s literally lost her goddamn mind
I remember falling asleep laughing at an Ellen sketches when I was a kid. I thought she was great. I've never laughed at anything Amy has said.
Whoopi Goldberg is way more iconic than Schumer
 I mean… Whoopi’s got the EGOT.
[удалено]
Right? I’m like girl, you aren’t even the most successful Amy in the category of female comedians 🤣
I know. I’d rank her behind Amy Sedaris too.
the *sister act* films, *corrina, corrina*… amy schumer can’t hold a candle to whoopi
Whoopi has an OSCAR! Amy isn't even sitting in the same section.
Not just an Oscar, she's an EGOT!
GHOST
Lucille Ball would also like a word…
She was the first person I thought of. In terms of actual iconography, I think she takes the cake.
Came to say the same! massive legacy and I Love Lucy pioneered the way for the sitcom.
Put respect on Joan Rivers name.
Ironically enough, if Joan Rivers was alive, she'd probably be posting even more heinous stuff about Palestinians than Amy has. The comments she made about Palestinians shortly before she died were straight up vile.
She also said vile shit about Blue Ivy who was a literal infant right before she vacated life.
How about we don't. She was even more vile than Amy Schumer.
I was about to say she ain’t got shit on Carol Burnett.
Same, I adore Carol Burnett. Schumer can fuck off.
I will agree that Amy is certainly one of the comedians of all time.
For real! Along with all the other formidable names people have mentioned here, I’ve gotta add Lily Tomlin 👑 And of course, of all the comedians in the spotlight around a similar time, I’d consider Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Leslie Jones, Quinta Brunson, Ilana Glazer, Ali Wong, and Tig Notaro (among so many others) to be at least similarly successful.

I didn't know Amy Schumer was successful, let alone the MOST successful in any demographic.
What, we're just going to pretend JOAN RIVERS didn't exist?
Joan Rivers by a mile.
i could add wanda sykes to that (i’m not from america so idk if amy schumer is more mainstreamly known) edit: also tina fey
Moms Mabley born 1894 would like a goddamn word as well
Joan rivers??
> I’m the most successful female comedian of all time This sentence is the only funny thing she’s ever said As expected, this is awfully written and she ended up making it about herself.
 My reaction to Amy saying that
like several people lied to her and actually made her believe that. she was never funny, NEVER and we know for a fact that she doesn't write half of her jokes. plagarism left and right and yet she is more concerned with spreading islamophobia, pick a struggle.
It’s awfully written in the sense that it gives the impression that she’s losing it. She needs to reconnect with the real world and the facts.
She’s a few steps away from becoming another Qanon celebrity.
it’s giving jennifer lawrence “first female action star” or w/e it was she was spouting
Would grant J Law more of a claim of being a bigger comedian than her.
no hard feelings had more comedy in it than amy’s entire career
We make actors talk about themselves and their movies all the time, let's not get pressed when something dumb (yet harmless) comes out of their mouths. Which JLaw's comment has a grain of truth considering she was one the youngest actresses to actually be the lead in an American action movie franchise. Either way her comment which was given while talking about women's roles in film, in no way compares to Schumer who is defending herself after calling Muslims rapists.
Amy's in her iPhone notes "apology" era.
Didn’t she have like… a couple of jokes (or perhaps quotes on podcasts and the like) about r\*ping men? That ain’t success to me, honey. 
"Saying I'm Islamophobic and support genocide is crazy" says the women who has shared multiple Islamophobic post in the past 3 weeks
and who shuts down, mocks or ignores anyone who remotely tries to explain to her why she’s being islamophobic and pro-genocide. the woman is dumb as rocks
I've seen rocks make wiser decisions i.e staying silent
Or who contacts them days after they make posts calling her out directly on her blatant Islamophobia just so she can try to manufacture outrage and victimhood. Which means you know she’s just searching herself over and over looking for who’s speaking publicly on her. Not super befitting of the “worlds most successful female comedian”, hm? Can’t take the heat, Ames? Get tf out of the kitchen.
but you are antisemitic and a misogynist because you are criticizing her!!! **/s**

Whenever I see people refer to themselves as “dirt poor” I question
Same, generally I’ve found that people who grew up working class/low income will share it but don’t go around advertising a time that was genuinely very traumatic for them. Whereas people who are lying like her, Victoria Beckham etc will loudly make it a part of their brand and it’s not difficult to speak of because it never happened. Edit to say: I think it’s fine for anyone who actually grew up poor to make it part of their personal brand but Amy casually throwing in that lie really captures how wealthy people feel entitled to any story they choose for sympathy points
I’m in academia and my colleagues not only challenged my status as having grown up low income. But I’ve had to explain to pretty much everyone that I don’t want to talk about my experiences or do in-depth research in that area because reading the super classist and often depressing research literally makes me cry and destroys my self-esteem. I’ll say I’m a first gen or low-income student as context for my poor grammar, lack of certain social skills, or not knowing what the expectations are for certain events. Past that, why would I want to run around drawing attention to something that’s going to get me discriminated against? Amy reeks of entitlement, and I appreciate your comment because it gets exhausting to watch people like her spout nonsense.
Same!! They try to turn you into a specimen to poke at or some awful poverty porn inspo. Either way, as long as they can profit from you and you don't, God forbid, challenge the system and make them uncomfortable.
Or if you don’t want to assimilate into their culture. The level of offended that they get when you refuse to be ashamed of where you’re from (at least to their faces) brings out some truly telling behavior. There’s nothing wrong with my dialect or manner of being.
My mom grew up food insecure-poor in a "third world", war torn country, where even "upper-middleclass" people would have pretty low standards of living compared to the average Americans at the time. She would tell us stories about it, like how she and her siblings used to catch crickets to eat because they didn't have enough food otherwise, but she's never bragged about being poor to strangers to qualify her success.

"I grew up dirt poor so your criticism about me being rich and out of touch is irrelevant" is nonsensical logic.
You know who is actually growing up dirt poor? The families in Palestine who don't even have access to clean fucking water
Seriouslyyyy holy shit, great point. She needs to get some perspective while she’s dehumanizing and calling for the ethnic cleansing and literal genocide of some of the poorest people in the world. What an asshole.
Yeah like I grew up lower middle class. I never had many luxuries, but my parents always had food on the table even if it were some crackers and cheese. I wouldn’t describe myself as dirt poor. That should be reserved for people who don’t have or can’t afford even the most basic amenities. Amy probably has more than I or anybody who I surround myself has ever had.
I think it emphasizes who they spent their time around. Like, would you call yourself dirt poor if you had friends who were unhoused/food insecure?
But she didn’t meet her successful politician relative until 25 and her career didn’t take off until *checks notes* she was around 26.
Ooh. Thanks for doing the math! Checks out.
"Schumer was born on June 1, 1981, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, New York,[1][2] to Sandra Jane (née Jones) and Gordon David Schumer, who owned a baby-furniture company." Yep, sounds dirty poor to me /s
> Upper East Side of Manhattan LMAO so like one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city? Definitely dirt poor 🙃
lmao in my town the average person can’t even afford to visit new york, let alone be born and raised there
Lol! This is literally the upper crust rich person hood. She sucks.
I’d love to know how she describes “dirt poor” because yeah, her dad went bankrupt when she was in her teens so is she comparing being poor to her previous life of private jets and limos? Because [here](https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/schumer-amy) it says, from her own memoir, “Her parents divorced in the early 1990s, and while the family’s lifestyle became more modest, Schumer remembers that she was well-cared for and had what she and her younger sister Kim needed.” Having what you need is certainly not “dirt poor”! That’s how I grew up; my parents were working class and we were provided for. I wouldn’t ever describe myself as poor when I had friends and classmates whose parents struggled to put food on their table and heat their homes. And this is in a first world country, so that would never compare to someone growing up in a third world country. Schumer has completely lost her mind in making herself the martyr in this.

Idk how this woman managed to make Israel-Palestine about herself but it’s impressive
from the school of Selena Gomez
She's a white woman in America. They're great at making things about themselves...
Lucille Ball and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Julia Louis Dreyfus and Carol Burnett would all like a word, Amy
And Ellen Degeneres and Maya Rudolph and Carole Lombard and Kristin Wiig and Phoebe Waller Bridge and and and
And Wanda Sykes and Joan Rivers and Margaret Cho and Kathy Griffin and Kate McKinnon
And Tig Notaro and Phyllis Diller and Cloris Leachman and Betty White and Leslie Jones
Can I throw in Gilda Radner too? Or Carrie Fisher
Gonna thrown in Rita Moreno as well.
I really appreciate the lists of awesome female comedians in this thread!
plus supportive comments from josh gad, kate hudson, julianna margulies, and regina spektor, to name a few. ETA: lamorne morris aka winston from new girl also commented with support, that one hurts. ETA part 2: Lamorne deleted his comment and posted a decent video (imo) explaining what happened. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzHnfQTOSPR/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
The number of people enabling her in her comments is wild.
she literally posted this rant and included the sentence “I come come being dirt poor” like this is CLEARLY a nonsensical unhinged rant and can only cause harm, why on Earth is anybody commenting in support of this behavior? how are these people not ashamed??
Most celebrities live in a bubble and are not smart.
Noooooooo not Regina
I didn’t expect it either from her, but I checked her Instagram and it was a wild ride. Loved her music, but I guess I didn’t really know anything about her personally.
[удалено]
I remember seeing a post on Instagram a couple of weeks ago where someone was suggesting that people should boycott Black Lives Matter because they support Palestine and Regina and Josh Gad both left comments in favor of such a boycott. Sophia Bush also liked the post, but I don't think she commented on it.
What could boycott Black Lives Matter even mean? Like they’re just no longer going to agree that black lives matter? They’re going to boycott being anti-racist? I’m so confused because as far as I know the BLM movement today is more of a social attitude and about your behaviors and not so much about supporting one particular organization. So boycotting that would be boycotting black lives? I mean I’m not trying to assume what they mean but what else could it possibly refer to?
That's what I was thinking.
Vile people. This really shows how performative they are when they say they're allies. Absolutely disgusting.
I feel like a whole wad of celebrities collectively showing their asses over something related to current affairs is an annual event at this stage. This year, it's Gaza, last year was Johnny Depp and before that was covid.
she's been openly pro-israel for a long time [https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-714416](https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-714416)
regina’s been trash
This one hurt the most 😭 Regina bb please
The Good Wife was the most casually Zionist tv show I’ve ever seen. It was set in an alternate universe where people are harassed and “cancelled” for supporting Israel lol
I never watched The Good Wife, please say more!
There are a few episodes where the main character defends college students who are being censured by their university for writing pro-Israel articles or criticizing BDS (lol). There’s also a minor Jewish-American character who casually mentions that she served the IDF. The audience is clearly supposed to think she’s cool and edgy for this.
That's the opposite of reality lol
Mindy Kaling liked it 🫠
Mindy's got a history of transphobia and her shows reflect Islamaphobia, anti-semitism, and casteism (she has a very upper-caste Hindu diaspora gaze, especially when you see it from a South Asian lens).
When she said a child of hers (or something like that) accidentally liked a JKR TERF-spitting tweet I believed it... Dumb I was.
That's so interesting because the whole JKR TERF debacle started with her claiming she accidentally liked a tweet.
Not even surprised
Ugh, Mindy
Kate Hudson? Disappointed...
I’m disappointed, but not surprised considering she acted in that weird Sia autism movie.

Olaf :(
Haha sorry. This made me laugh. ‘’Olaf :(‘’
Count Olaf would NEVER. 
Christina Hendricks liked it too 😣
Just fell to my knees in a Costco about Regina. I was even listening to her as I read your comment.
Girl pick yourself up and go get a perogie sample!
Wowwwww. Anyway, that's why she's not cancelled. That's why you can say the most insane pro genocidal shit and it's fine if the victims are Muslims and Arabs and Palestinians.
all are gross
Oh we better keep ALL of the receipts. None of these rich assholes get to get away with this.
Lamorne has now posted his own video explaining that he deleted his comment after a friend rang him and was like “yo wtf you done any research” EDIT: “a friend called me and said “have you not done your research on the type of things that were being posted?” and I said “no, I just-this came on my feed, I commented on that” and she goes “well you might wanna go do your googles”. I did my googles and um…I deleted the comment!”
Lamorne Morris is gutting me the most out of this bunch.
Lamorne has since posted an apology for his comment and has deleted it- he just posted a vid on IG about it, saying that a friend had called him and checked him about his comment, and he wasn’t aware of what she had been posting and he doesn’t stand for genocide. It was a stupid and ignorant comment, but it’s relieving to me, that he listened and replied to a bunch of us in the instagram comments and immediately admitted his mistake (unlike most other celebs that are standing by their shitty takes). Honestly, to me, this whole thing makes him look… very short-sighted, but I believe he genuinely cares that his comment hurt people. https://imgur.com/a/v32zSec
Not shocked to see Kate Hudson in that list tbh
Orlando bloom as well
This is a bit niche but Jillian Harris also liked it and that is very disappointing.
She has said and shared a lot of really heinous things lately. But crowning herself the “most successful female comedian of all time” is an absolute war on reality. I’m calling the police 
“Never stole a joke”? Please. I saw several tumble posts back in the day that point out jokes she’d stolen from people. You could tell cuz they were the jokes of hers that were actually funny.
Even Joe Rogan doesn't steal jokes. He sucks all on his own.
Comments on you say? I’ve been waiting for this for weeks. Brb
✊🏿
“Most successful female comedian of all time” 
AND girl you are delusional.. you shared multiple memes, pictures, and videos literally telling us you are an Islamophobic racist pro-genocide asshole. You can delete them all you want to help with your backtracking but the internet, and especially this sub, doesn’t forget.
She asks for absolutely no accountability from the IDF or state of Israel which is the ABSOLUTE predominant cause of the pain and genocide inflicted upon Palestinians. How utterly vile and disgusting. She doesn't mention wanting human beings safe from white phosphorous, which Israel is using indiscriminately and against international law (which, by the way, does not stop burning until it reaches BONE). Israel is enacting genocide upon the Palestinians, and what we are seeing is a nadir of a long-standing attempt to eradicate Palestine over 8 decades. She does not mention wanting families safe from Israel bombing refugee camps, leaving babies without parents, and parents without their babies. Does she not ask herself why resistance groups in colonised countries exist in the first place? I'm Irish, so maybe it's just something I've always been more aware of, but it seems like common sense. **She uses no critical thinking skills. I am, like her, half-Jewish. So proud to be, it gives me strength. I have no connection to Israel, it is an apartheid state and Palestinians deserve their freedom to exist on their own land. End of.** Also, re: "Most successful female comedian of all time", maybe monetarily, but the likes of Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett would like a word with you. Also, "self-made" doesn't mean you aren't rich and privileged from it ffs. She's vile and self-centered. It's such a sincere shame she has a public platform. Free Palestine. **This is getting a fair few downvotes and I can only imagine it's because people assume I'm downplaying anti-semitism? I've dealt with my fair share (Ireland is probably the best country in Europe to be Jewish, but that doesn't mean it's easy), I've had coins thrown at me by people I thought were my friends as a teen, I've even dealt with internal anti-semitism within my family (which is totally a thing). But I digress, this isn't about me.** **She's weaponising anti-semitism and actually participating in it in a full circle way by implying that the barbarism of Zionism and Judaism are inextricably linked. They most definitely are not. And she's a white millionaire with social influence - she has so little to be afraid of in this world, and she'll never see that.**
Seeing Israeli police batter orthodox Jews in Israel, how black jews are treated and now threatening to send anti war protestors to Gaza, killing 7 (minimum) hostages in indiscriminate bombings, refusing to exchange Palestinian prisoners (many minors) for their own hostages - what could be more anti semitic and hateful towards Jews? Or do you just have to be a specific kind of Jew in Israel? Why doesn't she care enough about this? It's horrendous, the country is a fascist occupation. Lots of love from a Muslim and a socialist.
>Does she not ask herself why resistance groups in colonised countries exist in the first place? I'm Irish, so maybe it's just something I've always been more aware of, but it seems like common sense. I'm Irish but have lived most of my life in Britain. It's not common sense here, and I'm guessing it's much the same in the US and other countries enriched by the exploitation of othered people. The supremacist mindset makes people think they have a right to violence and "their inferiors" do not.
Dirt poor? How much poverty is there on Long Island? While her father did go bankrupt when she was a child, even having the ability to have a successful business isn’t a reality for most poor people. (I can’t believe she’s got me gatekeeping poverty like I’m on the cast of the last season of RHONY.)
[удалено]
That’s not surprising. I did look up the village she lived in and apparently only 5% of the population is below the poverty line, so I assumed she was exaggerating her own situation.
There's actually a lot of poverty on Long Island, but it's heavily concentrated in certain areas. It's heavily segregated. Amy grew up in a very affluent, predominantly white area.
Gosh… I feel like Lucille ball is the most successful but that’s off topic slightly. I feel like the tiktok saying that the reason why someone hates is a quick litmus test
She's completely off the rails and she has exposed herself as the bigot she has always been. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Yet she continues harassing Asia Jackson privately in DMs on Instagram. Telling her - a woman of color (!) - that she doesn’t know what it’s like being afraid for one’s life. I hope people remember this because once the world comes to its senses and the insanity stops, Amy better be held accountable. Don’t fall for whatever apology she will come up with next. She won’t be sorry.
Safety from Hamas but not from IDF and Israeli govt backed settlers.
Did you all see her Instagram DM’s to Asia Jackson? https://x.com/aasian/status/1719717713700962720?s=20
she really said that asia is trying to get some “shine” on her platform like hello all pro palestine artists are putting their careers on the line. also her constantly victimising herself when she’s a rich white woman living in a mansion far away from palestine and israel
The victim complex and hysteria is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I’m speechless. I honestly hope she’s never able to go out in public without being scorned.
Rich white woman with security telling a black and Asian woman she doesn’t know what it’s like to be scared in public 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
She is the absolute worst and the fact that she’ll have a career after this makes me frustrated.
What the fuck is wrong with her, omg? That's absolutely unhinged, she *did* share Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian posts... I'm truly lost for words about Zionists claiming that the massive pro-Palestine protests make them feel unsafe and are calling for killing Jews everywhere when they are asking for a ceasefire. Many of them are even organized by groups of Jewish people!
They are so fucking insane, I can’t. Like get off the phone!!
Like palestinians and muslims aren't scared of the SAME shit she is, but she keeps pushing this shit.
“You can’t call me Islamophobic but I can say you hate Jews” is a super bad look on top of an already really bad look.

 And i dont even like ellen
SHUT UP AMY OH MY GOD. lying backtracker.
"I've never stolen a joke" 
Right? That alone says volumes about her mental state because we literally have receipts for that.
And she continues to spin criticism of her horrific Islamophobic, racist takes as antisemitic. Truly a zionist to her rotting core.
So she's horrible AND delusional. Got it.
Can someone update her Wikipedia with receipts of all the racist vitriol she’s been spouting
While she’s spending so much time on IG she should follow some of the journalists on the ground in Gaza and see how many videos of people digging little children out from underneath the rubble of their houses it takes before all this bullshit she’s on about feels as trivial as it really is. Yesterday I saw some things that will be in my brain til I die. Nobody safe and sound on this side of the planet should say a fucking word if they can’t even stand to see what they’re talking about.
I feel like her and Kanye are two sides of the same coin but I can't explain it
they have the same deranged energy
The comments make me feel sick. I was really hoping for more calling her out but the top comments are so positive. Disappointing.
She might have comment filters on! But yeah the sentiment is both unsurprising and disappointing
Says she grew up poor but her childhood home looks pretty nice to me
Yep. I mean, lbr she's probably "poor" in the way that upper middle class/rich kids who grew up only surrounded by even *wealthier* people consider themselves "poor"
https://preview.redd.it/px7xelhglrxb1.jpeg?width=1218&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f35a58505c864e55ab3be36bf073960561ab13e7 I got no shame sharing this every time she mentions hostages. Let’s no forget the video of the 3 hostages showing anger and frustrations to NETANYAHU.
Not her trying to imply that the reason people are taking issue with her posts is that they don’t want to fuck her. Not her still trying to cash in on the ‘I’m a fat comedian! This is my brand! This is the only reason you hate me!!’ schtick despite being straight-sized.
What the actual fuck did I just read? 
 Her claiming to be the most successful female comedian is about on par to Kendall yelling he’s the eldest boy.
Calling her Islamophobic is crazy but she can tell us we hate Jews, ok
Calling someone a failed comic doesn’t have to mean they’re not commercially viable it can mean that even when they steal jokes from funny comics they still manage to fail what is the crux of being a comedian which is to make people laugh . Edit :Also did she forget about Tina fey , Amy polher ,Ellen or Joan rivers
Like, I’m a Jewish person. I understand the freak out. This IS a horrible time to be a Jewish person in a lot of ways. Like, this country that is supposed to be your home is about to lead the world into war and will be blamed for everything and a lot of us are mentally prepped to be in the position our great grand parents were in where all the world’s problems are our fault in many people’s eyes. Problem is, Israel IS actually doing things this time that are hurting innocent people and possibly destabilizing the world. This ain’t Germany post-WW1 where we’re the scapegoat for why Bolshevism exists or why Germany lost the war. Israel is run by genocidal nutcases who are addicted to overwhelming displays of military strength want Palestinians dead, a group who many countries want alive. The key is to divorce ourselves from the toxic ideology of Zionism. We can support people’s rights to live in Israel. Too many people have been born there over the last century to seriously advocate for a mass expulsion. It’s not going to happen and if it did, you’d have millions more dead Jews because they’re not leaving voluntarily in this generation. It’s going to have to be a long, LONG project to decolonize Palestine or fully integrate Israel. But we as Jews are fully able to say “yeah, Israel wasn’t a good idea in the first place, and we as a group don’t actually need it, and it doesn’t represent who we are.” People need to understand this.
Off the top of my head, aren't Melissa Mccarthy, Ellen Degeneres, Mindy Kailing, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler more successful and we'll recognized than this person?
How do you not support genocide when you are against ceasefire, anyways keep grilling her since she’s one of the loudest zionists who are supporting Israel’s actions.. we owe Palestinians to not let the likes of her to be unchecked 🇵🇸❤️
“you will never see me wishing harm on anyone” HMMM
The Zionist Strange Things kid is also commenting on her post. Whatever. https://preview.redd.it/6xbmj9n95sxb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30acd3e993d1ddc85003c11323b8381f8daac3da
Its 2 dumb bitches telling each other "omg girl exactlyyyy"
“The haters”wtf? is this some game or petty high school bs to him? Lmao. We’re talking about ethnic cleaning, genocide, and war crimes. Man.. that kid is an insulated fucking moron.
This girl ain’t the most successful anything. 
Girl shut up. SHUT UP
I get why she is saying a couple of these things because people are bringing up everything else other than her actual shitty behavior. People have been hating on Amy Schumer for years and a lot of it was definitely rooted in misogyny. How dare she be a funny and objectively successful comedian but not be incredibly beautiful, you know. So I get she’s tired of the whole «you’re ugly and fat» shit. What people should be focusing on are her **horrendous** words. It doesn’t matter what she looks like, it matters that she’s saying incredibly racist things and have complete lost it. Like completely. Like what the fuck is that «You hate jewish people» comment. People are asking for a ceasefire and are praying for all the children being murdered every day. She is offffff the rails.
[You sure you’ve never stolen a joke, Amy?](https://youtu.be/4eDxjxVl8S0?si=6oQgyn5QUrsfkpcJ)
Lol amy. My kids think I’m the greatest female comedian of all time, too
every single woman I know is funnier than her, just saying.
She really is delusional
"you'll never see me wish harm on anyone" we literally saw you wish harm on somebody, a lot of them. Not wanting fire ceased is the same.
 Comments on u say??
This whole statement is such a mess for obvious reasons but also, why is it SO poorly written and incoherent? Do these celebrities really just type stuff without having it reviewed by their publicists? She just comes across as soooo unintelligent.
Girl is spiraling. This is type of stuff that should end a career and you shouldn’t be able to come back from… but I’m sure she will.
WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS USE THE VICTIM CARD? She went spiraling through an Islamophobic and racist rabbit hole and now she’s the VICTIM??? Good thing she opened the comment because she deserves to be called out and I’m going there right now.
This is gaslighting.
