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.

  4. 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”)

  7. Amy Schumer
    “Pretty” is the biggest clue

    Yes, I find her funny, and fabulous

  8. 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.

  9. Amy Schumer.

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

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

  14. 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…

  15. 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)

  17. Amy Schumer

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

  19. Amy Schumer

    Clue: Pretty

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

  22. 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.

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

  29. 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.

  30. Woman: Amy Schumer
    Clues: “funny and pretty” – she’s a comedian (but not funny) and her movie I Feel Pretty
    [Optional] Do you think she was really ill or not? No. She’s an attention whore and probably thinks it’s a great joke. As usual, she’s wrong and not funny at all.

  32. 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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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.

  35. 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

  40. 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”

    • 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.

    • 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!

  44. 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.

  46. 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.

  47. 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

  49. 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.
