Amy Schumer Opens Up About Past Sexual Assault, Domestic Abuse Experiences

Amy Schumer makes her living telling jokes, but the 35-year-old has no qualms about publicly discussing the darkest experiences of her life in hopes of offering hope and insight to others who may endured similar traumas.

Last month Schumer opened up about her first sexual experience, revealing to Marie Claire that the experience left her emotionally scarred.

Today, the actress and stand-up went into greater detail in a candid interview with Howard Stern.

Schumer told Stern that she was watching TV with her high school boyfriend and “in and out of sleep” when she realized that he was inside of her.

She revealed she not only declined to press charges, but stayed with the boyfriend and even comforted him after the incident, all of which, she says, later made her feel invalidated as a survivor of sexual abuse.

She addressed the notion of the “imperfect victim” while speaking with Stern today:

“People, they want you to have been raped perfectly, and they want you to be a perfect victim.

“People hear me say that and they go, ‘No, she’s like a slut’ and ‘I bet she knew’ – like, right away, you start doubting,” Schumer said this morning,” she continued.

“We’re so critical and it makes victims really not wanna speak up, and so I think it’s me saying, ‘Look, I didn’t have a perfect rape.’”

Schumer also opened up about a past abusive relationship in which she says the mistreatment escalated to the point that she began to fear for her life:

“At first I would get hurt by accident, it would be like he’d grab me too hard and then I’d get a bad bruise, or he’d like push me a little and I’d like fall into something and get a worse injury, and these things I could kind of excuse.

“It just hit me like a ton of bricks, he’s going to kill me eventually, and I need to get out of here.

“And honestly a big thought of why I did was for my little sister. I just thought, I cannot — I can’t do this to her.

“I can’t let her get this phone call.”

Schumer has never shied away from difficult subjects in the past, such as when she spoke out in favor of gun control in the wake of a shooting at a theater that was showing her movie Trainwreck last year.

Just last week, Schumer stood by victims of sexual assault when her friend and former collaborator Kurt Metzger made jokes about rape on social media.

Schumer released her first collection of humorus essays, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, last week.

The book became an instant best-seller.

Kylie Jenner Experiences Wardrobe Malfunction, Continues to Do Kris Jenner"s Bidding

We"ve known for a while that Kylie Jenner is transforming into Kim Kardashian.

It"s reached the point where Kylie looks almost identical to Kim in one of her most recent Instagram uploads.

But despite Kylie"e best efforts to transform herself into a sort of Kim Mini-Me, there are still certain gaps between the sisters with regard to their careers and public personas.

Kim married an A-list rapper; Kylie is getting cheated on by a one-hit wonder.

Kim is arguably the most recognized women in the world; Kylie is most famous amongst teens who shell out for her overpriced cosmetics.

And, of course, Kim made a sex tape, while Kylie remains at least partially clothed in all photos and videos that are released to the public.

But slow progress is better than no progress, which may be why Kylie had an "accidental" wardrobe malfunction while walking past a group of paparazzi yesterday.

Obviously, we"ll never know for sure if Kylie intended to flash her underwear to the photographers, but she didn"t seem to be too worried about preventing it.

Hey, we don"t blame her.

You can"t grow up with Kim Kardashian as a sister and Kris Jenner as a mom and not learn the value of public nudity at a young age.

Rescue Dog Experiences Joy of Very Own Bed

Is there any better feeling in the world than coming home to your own, soft bed after a long, hard day?

You just slide right under the covers and pull them up tight. Maybe you curl up with a book or turn on the TV. Perhaps you turn on your partner.

Or maybe you just go right to sleep.

No matter what, home is not really where your heart is. It"s where your bed is. And it just feels so gosh darn nice to tuck yourself in at night.

Now… imagine you are a rescue dog who has had a tough life. Imagine you"ve never even had your own bed before.

Imagine you then get brought into a foster home and led into a room and then told to go ahead, take a jump. Go for it. See how that bed feels.

Because it"s all yours!

Yes! Finally!

This is what"s about to go down in the following video, as a seven-year old bull terrier named Mellie is introduced to her first EVER bed.

And we"ve never seen an animal so happy in all of our lives. It puts a giant smile on our face just to watch this video… which we may or may not have done about 37 times already.

Get ready to laugh and cheer and then share with all your friends online.

And good luck getting anything done today that doesn"t include watching this footage over and over and over again.

Lamar Odom: Brothel Where NBA Star OD"d Experiences Surge in Business

If you needed further proof that’s a pretty effed-world we live in, look no further:

According to TMZ the Love Ranch brothel where Lamar Odom nearly died from an overdose last week is experiencing a major surge in business thanks to all the free press.

The weirdest part? Customers are shelling out big bucks to see the room where Odom was found unconscious and covered in blood.

Guests who already staying and spending money at the Ranch can drop an extra $ 500 for a glance at the VIP suite where Odom nearly lost his life.

Even weirder, many Love Ranch are paying top dollar to sleep in the room and there’s a one-month waiting to list to stay in “the Lamar suite.

Prior to Odom’s near death experience, the Ranch attracted about 20 men today. Owner Dennis Hof says that in the past week that number has more than tripled.

Many have been critical about the way Hof seems to milking the incident for free publicity.

Hof bragged about telling the Kardashians to “go to hell” during an appearance on Nancy Grace’s talk show.

In response, reps for Khloe politely asked Hof to shut the hell up, but it looks like the brothel owner and former star of the HBO reality series Cat House, plans to go right on cashing in on this tragedy.
