Amy Schumer responds to charges of stealing Oscars joke off Twitter

Amy Schumer, an American stand-up comedian, has finally disputed the allegation that she stole a joke from Leonardo DiCaprio on Twitter during the 2022 Oscars.

The comedian, who hosted the 94th Annual Academy Awards, replied to charges that one of her jokes during the Oscars keynote was stolen from Twitter during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen.

“OK. I’d like to point out that I haven’t used Twitter in a long time “According to Variety, Schumer stated. “I’ve delegated it to my helper so that I may stay alive and not commit suicide. In addition, Suli McCullough wrote that joke. But I always appreciate you people making sure I don’t start stealing.”

“Leonardo DiCaprio is doing so much for the world,” Schumer, 40, joked during the 2022 Oscars about the Shutter Island actor.

“For his girlfriends, he’ll leave things in better shape,” she continued. The Wolf of Wall Street actor, 47, is dating Camila Morrone, a 22-year-old model.

Moreover, Amy shared that she recently did a lie-detector test with Vanity Fair that proved she was not a joke thief. “They asked me, thank God, ‘Have you ever stolen a joke?’ and I said no, and it was ‘that’s true.'”

She also said, “So, everybody just chill. It’s crazy. I’m funny enough, I don’t need to steal [expletive].”
