Amy Schumer Claims to Love the Kardashians

Not everyone was amused by Amy Schumer as host of Saturday Night Live last weekend.


The comedian opened the show with a monologue that took aim at the Kardashians, at one point telling viewers at home and in the audience:



“We used to have Khloé. Khloé was ours, right? Whenever there’s a group of women, you identify with one of them, right?


“Khloé, she lost half her body weight. She lost a Kendall, and we have nothing.”


While the joke seems relatively harmless, and while Khloe herself has taken public pride in her weight loss, some have accused Schumer of body-shaming the star.


Kardashian herself certainly seemed to take exception to the quip, writing on Twitter a day after it aired:


“No need 2 tear down others just 2 make urself feel bigger. It actually makes u quite small. I’m on a healthy journey. I don’t care 4the hate.”


So… with the ball back in Schumer’s court, the Trainwreck star made no secret on Instagram today that she was addressing Khloe and all the Kardashians, penning in response:


“Nothing but love for that family. I like idea of sending women the message to be happy in their own skin. #peace.”


Did anyone else notice that? A semi-apology, but also a semi-slam?


After all, Schumer is right. The message should be for everyone to be happy in their own skin, shouldn’t it?


So then why are Khloe and her sisters telling fans to go waist train in order to lose weight?
