Amy Schumer Admits Son Gene Is “Not Impressed” With Her Glam Life

Whether on or off screen, Amy uses her voice to speak out on important topics, like stopping the spread of online hate. During her interview, she took a moment to address Kanye West‘s recent antisemitic comments, which included an Oct. 8 tweet where he wrote he was “going death con 3 on Jewish people.” 

“I think we have to make it completely unacceptable to spread hate online,” Amy said. “I think we have to call it like it is. Kanye is antisemitic. These comments are hateful.”

(Kanye addressed his comments during an Oct. 19 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored. When asked if he was sorry for what he said and regretted it, the rapper replied, “No, absolutely not.” He later added, “I will say I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the Defcon, the confusion that I caused. I felt like I caused hurt and confusion. And I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I have been through.”)

In addition to Twitter removing the tweet and locking Kanye from his account, Meta restricted his Instagram account, with spokespeople from both companies citing violations of its policies in statements to NBC News.

Amy said it was important for social media platforms to enforce these rules.

“It’s important because it’ll just spread like it did before,” she said. “I think antisemitism and hating Jews is like something that’s, like, really weirdly acceptable in our country. So, I want to use my voice to say stop it and also to talk about the Iranian women and what’s going on there and lift their voices up because we’re all one.”
