Amy Schumer was recently met with harsh criticism when she made a joke about a photograph of Nicole Kidman at the US Open. In the photo, Nicole was sitting in a way that Amy joked wasn't natural for a human.
Naturally, this did not go over well online, with some accusing Amy of "cyberbullying." In response, Amy took to Instagram to clarify her joke, saying, "Okay so the joke I was making was the way was posed didn't seem like how a human sits. I was not making fun of how she looks. Nicole Kidman is beautiful and one of the most incredible actors of all time."
Amy went on to apologize for the comment, saying, "To all of the people who commented on me. I'm so sorry I'm not prettier. Please forgive me. I apologize." She then sarcastically added, "It wasn't even a slow news day. North Korea and Russia are getting too close for comfort. There are deadly storms sweeping our world and a man was convicted of rape. But what got your goat was me saying that Nicole kidmans pose was not human like."
In her post, Amy urged her followers to take a deep breath and forgive her. Fans of the comedian flocked to the comments to support her, with one writing simply, "In your defense Amy, it was a weird pose."
Amy had previously sarcastically apologized for the comment, saying she would be "asking the cast of That 70s Show to write letters advocating for my forgiveness," referencing Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis writing character letters for convicted rapist Danny Masterson. This didn't go over well either, with critics slamming her post as "inappropriate and unfunny."
At the end of the day, Amy seems to want people to take a step back and reassess the situation. It's understandable that her joke was not taken well, but it's also important to recognize the serious issues that she was highlighting in her post.
