Amy Schumer Addresses Claim She Stole Oscars Joke From Tweet

Amy Schumer says the joke was not snatched.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen, the Life & Beth star responded to claims that one of her jokes during the 2022 Oscars monologue was stolen from Twitter during her appearance on

“OK. Well, I would like to say, I haven’t personally been on Twitter,” Schumer said per Variety. “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 zinger in question is a roast on Leonardo DiCaprio: “He has done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends.”

Viewers flocked to social media to accuse Amy of stealing the joke form a viral tweet posted in December 2021. The tweet reads: “Leonardo DiCaprio is so passionate about climate change because he wants to leave a better word for his girlfriends.”
