Amy Schumer Can’t Escape Backlash… She’s OK With That
Amy Schumer is busier than ever, yet her outspoken nature has made her one of America’s most divisive celebrities.
Bernice King, the activist’s daughter, responded to Schumer’s post by saying that while she and her father were against antisemitism, she was “certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released, and for us to work for true peace, which includes justice.” “Life & Beth” has been a good example of Schumer’s willingness to “go there.” In one episode, her character’s best friend, Jess (Sas Goldberg), a married woman with kids, gets an abortion after having an affair. So Schumer’s now at a high point in her career: She’s happily turning down work she’s not excited by, she has the power to get shows and movies greenlit, and she’s fielding offers from top talent like Seinfeld.
