A Rather Fishy Excuse

[Blind Gossip] More shenanigans from a celebrity you might consider funny and pretty.

Or not.

This performer was supposed to be out on a promotional tour for a new project. Multiple cities, constantly on a plane. Before she left, the reviews for her project started coming in. They were not good. She decided that she didn’t want to go.

She complained to her agent that she just didn’t want to go. They kept changing the flight times for her, trying to accommodate her. People were expecting her at every stop for interviews, etc., so they also had to change the interview days and times to accommodate her. It was a nightmare. Finally she just said, “I’m not going.”

Everyone was FURIOUS. They had to cancel everything.

Then, a day or two later, our performer posted a photo of herself on social media. A sad, sympathy-provoking photo of herself, complaining about how terribly sick she had been for the past week.

What?!

She had never mentioned ANYTHING to ANYONE on the team about an illness or about not feeling well!

The dozens of people who had been inconvenienced or manipulated were stunned to suddenly read on social media that she was “ill.” They found her excuse rather fishy and did not find anything funny about her little stunt. Needless to say, the next time she claims something, there will be a lot of people in the business doing double takes to see if she is telling the truth.

By the way, two takes is all they should expect.

    Amy Schumer…but I wonder if she was just really sick and the timing sucked. It happens

  2. Elmerblues says

    mmm Schumer – what a shame fame made her a diva. Her appeal was that she was one to be considered a normal. Now she’s just a * celeb.

  3. WillowPotter says

    This is obviously Amy Schumer, clues: almost every film of hers flops and no I don’t believe her, I can think of only one other actress that was so snobby and mean that Hollywood shunned her and that is Katherine Heigel. She was welcomed back after years of being blackballed, not to be ridiculous but I wonder if she (Amy) is sleeping with anyone in order to stay in the public eye. The metoo movement I don’t think has stopped that from still happening.

    Amy Schumer . First her being belligerent to whatever fans she has , trouble on the set, and now this. I wonder if she is having an Andy Dick kind of mental breakdown. and wants to see how far she can push it. Truth be told she made it but she is not really A list material. She hasn’t got much longer in the limelight and the only way she will be remembered is in those ” Why you never hear about ” lists and even those only have a five year shelf life .

    • itstarapagain says

      I think your theory has merit. I hadn’t thought about it that way. You may be spot on.

  5. GGodot says

    Amy Shumer. I was actually supposed to interview her on a press junket and I saw the movie before it was released. Our interviews were cancelled.

  6. amagod121 says

    Aaaaaamy! Amy Schumer!

    Clues: “Two takes is all they shoukd expect, ” is a dead give away and based upon the last blind about her!

    I get the feeling that she’s playing hookey. Her people must be fed up with her to release two juicy blinds in about a week.

  8. gailpow says

    Woman: Amy Schumer
    Clue: “Pretty or not,” her latest movie was I Feel Pretty.
    Yes, Amy probably did suffer kidney / bladder issues. It’s a common health complaint from newlywed woman after an “active” honeymoon.

    • itstarapagain says

      This is completely unrelated to Amy Schumer but your comment reminded me something from 20+ years ago that makes me laugh still.

      In college, I processed medical claims as one of many jobs to make ends meet. This was in the days when people would submit handwritten claims for reimbursement. Back in the 80/20 days.

      One wrote the following in the “reason for medical treatment” space

      Honeymooners Itch. Pain in the Virginia.

  10. mizzec says

    Schumer…review for I Feel Pretty are not good so her “infection” was perfect timing!

  11. traherne says

    Amy Schuemmer or however you spell her name.

    The silly woman will regret this diva behaviour one day.

  12. DenverJayhawk says

    Amy Schumer being hospitalized for a kidney infection…

    She seems like a horrible person. Nothing she did would surprise me.

  13. aaaShuri says

    Amy Schumer.

    Clues: pretty and funny (or not) for her new comedy “I Feel Pretty”

  17. itstarapagain says

    The untalented Amy Schumer. Hopefully this will be the end of her career.

    What a loser. People would give anything to have any opportunity and she throws a tantrum.

  19. Brunettetalk says

    Amy Schumer, what a royal B. ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY like all the rest of us have to do in our jobs which pay one 100,000th of what she gets. I can’t wait for the day when her career dives and dies.

  20. hello_22 says

    Amy Schumer

    Clue: funny and “pretty” – film being “I feel pretty”, mention of “funny” a few times. Pretty sure fishy is a big one but can’t link it.

    Wellllll that’s terribly cheeky if she wasn’t actually unwell as she said it was about her kidneys HOWEVER very plausible she wound herself up so much re bad reviews etc that she felt something was wrong w/ hee & went to hosp. Stress does things to the body!

  22. annabelle77 says

    Amy Schumer. I get the impression she has turned into a real drama queen who milks attention constantly. I don’t think her marriage is a happy one, and she knows it.

  24. foxxyminxx says

    Amy Schumer, the two takes line ties into the blind about the funny actress that was pissing off the director of her latest film with two take maximum.

  25. henway says

    Amy Schumer

    Funny – she’s a “comedian”
    Pretty – her new movie: I Feel Pretty

    Optional: Probably not; she keeps coming out with flops, she needs to learn to quit while she’s behind

  26. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Amy Schumer….pictures of her without makeup claiming to have a painful kidney infection.
    If she is faking it, KARMA is REAL!

  30. blaqfury says

    Woman: Amy Schumer
    Clues: funny (comedienne) and pretty (I feel pretty – movie)
    terribly sick she had been for the past week. (IG photo of her in hospital bed for “horrible” kidney infection).
    I’m sure ” fishy”, “double takes” and “two takes” are clues as well, but i’m too lazy to look up how.
    [Optional] Do you think she was really ill or not? Probably faking it, but that definitely was a sympathizing photo. I didn’t even recognize her even though the tv show was telling me who…

  31. Sleepyandconfused says

    Amy Schumer

    Clues: pretty for her movie ‘I feel pretty’.
    Def not ill.
    She should stop treating people like garbage.

  33. jonesing says

    Amy Schumer
    I liked her movie Train Wreck but don’t like her comedy much. I think her “personality” is coming to the fore, though and it’s not “pretty.”
    Clues: Pretty-I Feel Pretty, not more than 2 takes(from a previous blind item), that’s all i have.

  34. wannatango says

    Woman: Amy Schumer

    Clues: “Pretty, Funny.”
    Her film “I Feel Pretty,” isn’t doing well.
    I think 4 days ago she was the one who was “hospitalized” for a horrible kidney infection

    [Optional] Do you think she was really ill or not? Probably not. She’s embarrassed that her film tanked. Her and BFF Jennifer Lawrence were once cool but now they are obnoxious.

  36. nonsequiturchica says

    Amy Schumer 🙁

    Clues: pretty (I feel pretty movie), she posted about a kidney infection

  37. yoreggie says

    Woman- Amy Schumer
    Clues- “…you might consider funny and pretty” The name of her new movie is ‘I feel pretty’

    Her film bombed, it currently has a rating of 4.1 on IMDB.

    She also posted a several pics of her at the hospital.

  38. badgerette85 says

    Amy Schumer
    Been hospitalized prior to London tour of new movie “I feel Pretty“

  39. JustaGuess123 says

    Amy Schumer
    Clues: Fish like husbands last name; “pretty”
    Horible kidney infection

  41. Ohmysmh says

    Oh you so bad big “fishy” as in a kidney or uti that the unfunny Amy Schumer sue need to drop comedy and get a real job

  45. luvprue1 says

    Women: Amy Schumer

    Clues: Funny and Pretty. Amy is in a movie “I feel Pretty”

  47. brobdingnagian says

    Amy Schmidt

    Wow, I was a fan for about five minutes in the beginning.

    These days I seriously avoid anything she’s involved in period.

  50. knowitallinCO says

    Amy Schumer for sure. She says she had a kidney infection. Sucky! I feel like “fishy” is a clue since it was mentioned twice, and the connection I see is her husband’s last name Fischer

  51. Rhondito says

    Amy Schumer
    Clues: – funny, pretty – Her new movie “I Feel Pretty”
    She posted pics on Instagram of her 5-day hospital stay with a kidney infection..

  54. SilverLining says

    Woman: Amy Schumer

    Clues: ‘Funny’ (comedian) & ‘Pretty’ (recent movie/project starred in, I Feel Pretty…supposed to be doing promotional tours)

    [Optional] Do you think she was really ill or not?
    I don’t know what to believe anymore with anyone in “show nusiness.”

  56. Aurelia says

    Amy Schmer (sp?)
    Optional: Her ego may have been, her rage simply compounds things.

  58. High Steppa says

    Amy S. saying she had a kidney infection. I got the clue from the “two takes” referring to the previous blind. And maybe the clown fish, since she is a comedian. Pretty for the title of the film, “I Feel Pretty.”

    The more I read about her, the less I like her.

  61. Baileygirl says

    Amy Schumer. Clues: “two takes”, “pretty” refers to movie she just made.

  65. GretaGuesses says

    Amy Schumer posted a picture of her in a hospital bed complaining about some illness.

    Clues are the funny & pretty description. Her movie is “I Feel Pretty” and she claims to be a comedian. Also the last sentence about “two takes” relates to another blind where Amy is hard to work with and refuses to do more than two takes.

  67. MrsC123 says

    Woman: Amy Schumer

    Clues: Consider funny / pretty – She’s a comedian (some might say) Pretty, new movie “I feel Pretty”

    Fishy / Fishing (Married Chris Fischer) 2 Takes – recently reported as refusing to more than 2 takes per scene

    [Optional] Do you think she was really ill or not? No, just covering herself from negative reviews

  68. CanaryCry says

    Amy Schumer is the troublemaker here.

    She may be “confident” in her own head as well as in her fans’ minds, but I find her annoying & childish. The only illness she seems to have here is snowflake syndrome.

  70. mona lisas and mad hatters says

    Amy Schumer – again!
    ‘pretty’ – part of her movie title ; ‘two takes/double takes’ – her max work load ; ‘fishy’ – hubby Fischer

    Totally doubt she was ill – the photos looked way over the top dramatic, with ‘woe is me’ faces and multiple IV lines – wearing street clothes. Seriously??? Sitting up w/ nice rosy cheeks too – none of which adds up to a kidney infection – as anyone who’s had one, or more, would know.

    Another example of celebs faking illness for excuses/sympathy.

  74. alexfron says

    Amy Schumer.

    I really don’t get what people see in her. She’s not funny at all. Hopefully this stunt will decrease her Hollywood “fame”

    • Teebiscuit says

      Me neither. She was great on that one roast…was it Charlie Sheen’s? After that, not a fan of what she’s done since.

    • SleuthingForFun says

      Agree 100%. I think she’s messing with fire and don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Do your job whether the reviews are good or not, you’ve been paid so show the heck up!

  79. mquinn says

    Woman: Amy Schumer

    Clues: “funny and pretty” her new movie I Feel Pretty
    “Two takes” the past blind saying that she didn’t want to do double takes at the shooting

  80. loverangel1 says

    Amy Schumer

    She’s not talented enough to get away with being a diva. Sooner or later she’s gonna piss off the wrong people.

  81. TNSunny says

    Amy Schumer and her hospital photos. Clues were “funny” and “pretty”. Her new movie that bombed is “I Feel Pretty”. Which was the promotional tour she was supposed to be out doing. Although she considers herself a comic I’ve never found her funny.

    Was she sick? I doubt it. With enough money you can do anything including being photographed in a hospital room.

  82. mrs_right says

    Amy Schumer.

    She is known for only wanting to do two takes. Posted pictures of herself in the hospital, red faced, with a kidney infection.

  84. dawnray says

    Amy Schumer
    I Feel Pretty
    She posted selfies of herself from a hospital bed claiming she had been ill with a kidney infection.
    Untalented. Unfunny. Obnoxious. Loud. Vulgar. Up her own backside. And now difficult as well.

  87. Bunniest says

    Amy Schumer. But she miraculously recovered when she found out she’d been nominated for a Tony

  90. ravenglass says

    Amy Schumer

    pretty = I FEEL PRETTY

    When I heard she had been hospitalized I actually said “The reviews probably made her sick”. Looks like I was sort of right. What a faker.

  93. bertwheeler says

    Amy Schumer

    Clue: Pretty

    The photos look authentic, but the timing is awfully convienent.

  95. DaniJo says

    Amy Schumer

    She posted a photo of herself in the hospital and said she had been dealing with a kidney infection.

  97. lovetheblazer says

    Woman: Amy Schumer who said she couldn’t tour due to “horrible kidney infection” and posted a pic of her IV drip

    Clues: “Funny and pretty” (she’s a comedian and the movie in question is “I Feel Pretty”), “Two takes is all…” refers to a previous blind about her diva behavior on set where she refused to do more than 2 takes per scene

    Optional: Probably sick over the dismal critical score for “I Feel Pretty” (only 34% fresh yikes)

  98. surfsunsand05 says

    Woman: Amy Schumer

    Clues: “funny and pretty” – she’s a comedian, newest film is “I Feel Pretty.” The reviews of it are not great. She’s the popular guess in the recent blind about only cooperating for two takes, and she recently posted a picture on Instagram saying she’s been sick with a kidney infection for 5 days.

    It seems very elaborate to be fake, but she also sounds like a total pain to work with, so maybe she exaggerated her illness (or changed the timeline of it) to fit her…

  102. 4girls4 says

    Amy Schumer
    Of course she wasn’t ill. Tick tock,,,,14 minutes and counting

  103. heynow says

    Amy Schumer.

    Not sick. All staged. As most comedians, she’s missing a few screws.

  104. Endoracat says

    Amy Schumer Fisher (great clue!)
    I used to work in publicity for a major film studio, and I can
    tell you that these tours are planned down to the last
    minute, and to keep tearing up plans and start over
    again is a big nightmare. Then to cancel the tour
    outright is horrific; it would cause major outrage for the people
    involved, create headaches for a lot of people, and undo a lot
    of work. She is awful to do this, and I believe in karma.
    Her career is hanging by a thread anyway.

  105. OhIthinknot says

    Amy Schumer
    “Pretty” is the biggest clue

    Yes, I find her funny, and fabulous

  108. kittypryde777 says

    Woman: Amy Schumer
    Clues: “funny” (she’s a so-called “comedian/comedienne” but I personally do NOT find her funny) & “pretty” (her movie “I Feel Pretty”)
