Amy Schumer Calls Out Fan Who Harassed Her on the Street

Thanks to her relatable persona, Amy Schumer is one celeb who feels almost like a best friend with whom we can get wine drunk and commiserate in the inherent evil of underwire bras.



A best friend who just happens to leave $ 1,000 tips for bartenders and makes out with Tina Fey.


But that’s beside the point.


Unfortunately, one very entitled fan in Greenville, South Carolina took Schumer’s seemingly chill personality for granted when he would not stop taking her picture, even after she asked.


According to Schumer, the man scared her by running up and shoving a camera in her face, then refused to back off, because ‘Murrica.


Schumer retaliated by snapping a pic of the guy and calling him out on Instagram.


Here he is, looking completely unfazed:

“This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the shit out of me,” Schumer wrote in the caption.


“Put a camera in my face. I asked him to stop and he said ‘no it’s America and we paid for you’ this was in front of his daughter.


“I was saying stop and no. Great message to your kid.


“Yes legally you are allowed to take a picture of me. But I was asking you to stop and saying no.


“I will not take picture with people anymore and it’s because of this dude in Greenville.”


Well, that’s awesome. Thanks a lot, guy.


However, Schumer may have announced her no-picture policy in the heat of the moment, because she later took to Twitter to clarify.


“Thanks for the kind words and support,” she wrote.


“I know there are bigger problems in the world. But this was not right.


“I’ll still take pictures with nice people when I choose to if it’s a good time for that.


“But I don’t owe you anything. So don’t take if I say no.”


Sounds fair to me.
