Sketchy Things About Amy Schumer Everyone Ignores

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Schumer took several jabs at Jenny McCarthy on Inside Amy Schumer, and she revealed some of the reasons why on the Opie with Jim Norton show in 2016. Schumer described McCarthy as a bully who doesn't support women. "This past season of the TV show, Season 3, [McCarthy] really wasn't nice to my friend Rachel [Feinstein]. So I was just like, 'Let's just go after Jenny McCarthy all season.' She hates me, obviously...I'm sure she can be charming when it behooves her, but be nice to other women, especially other women in this disgusting f**king business, that's all I can say."

This McCarthy hate may have another root cause: comedian Tammy Pescatelli once called into McCarthy's SiriusXM radio show to discuss Schumer's alleged joke-stealing. "Underground, this has been being said for a while," Pescatelli said, and when she spoke up, "people were going, 'Yes, thank God you said something,'" Pescatelli added, "If I told you some of the big-name comedians that called me. Literally, if I was trying to start something, as she's accused me of in the press, I could really start it." McCarthy suggested Schumer take a lie detector test about the accusations.

It's easy to assume Schumer may have been highly motivated to utilize her own media platform to retaliate, but regardless, her girl-power, anti-bullying script seems hypocritical.
