Amy
Schumer
has
finally
opened
up
about
claims
that
one
of
her
jokes
during
the
2022
Oscars
monologue
was
stolen
from
Twitter
during
her
appearance
at
the
94th
Academy
Awards.
During
an
appearance
on
Watch
What
Happens
Live!
with
Andy
Cohen,
Amy
revealed
she
didn't
write
the
joke.
The
Life
&Beth
star
said,
"OK.
Well,
I
would
like
to
say,
I
haven't
personally
been
on
Twitter.
I've
had
my
assistant
do
it,
just
so
I
can
remain
alive
and
not
kill
myself.
And
also,
that
joke
was
written
by
Suli
McCullough.
But
I
thank
you
guys,
always,
for
making
sure
that
I
don't
start
thievery."
The
joke
about
Leonardo
DiCaprio
was
made
during
the
opening
monologue
by
Amy,
she
said,
"He
has
done
so
much
to
fight
climate
change
and
leave
behind
a
cleaner,
greener
planet
for
his
girlfriends." Soon
after
the
live
telecast,
fans
gathered
on
social
media,
to
accuse
Amy
of
stealing
the
joke
from
a
viral
tweet
posted
in
December
2021.
The
tweet
read,
"Leonardo
DiCaprio
is
so
passionate
about
climate
change
because
he
wants
to
leave
a
better
word
for
his
girlfriends."
Schumer
on
the
show
also
revealed
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
added,
"So,
everybody
just
chill.
It's
crazy.
I'm
funny
enough,
I
don't
need
to
steal
s---."
After
the
Oscars
2022,
Amy
revealed
that
she
is
taking
a
much-deserved
break.
She
took
to
her
Instagram
and
posted
a
photo
of
her
cuddling
her
son,
Gene
David
Fischer.
Writing
in
the
caption,
she
added,
"Out
of
the
office
reply
for
the
next
month.
Thanks."
