Other celebrities also took to their Twitter commenting on the shooting, including Patton Oswalt, Sam Smith and Kevin Smith who wrote, “Terrible news out of LAYFAYETTE: gunman opens fire in movie theater”.
Earlier this week on Wednesday, Matt Tilley, a DJ on Australia’s KIIS 101.1 FM, was interviewing Amy Schumer about her character in Trainwreck when he called the character “skanky”.
“Do you have the word skanky in America?” Apparently he was not familiar with her stand up routines or her TV show.
“We do have that word. That’s a rude question”, she said. “I’m not trying to offend you”, Tilley added, eliciting a puzzled did-you-really-just-fucking-say-that look from Schumer.
“I want to do whatever I have to do to get another interview with you again”, she quipped sarcastically.
But the Inside Amy Schumer star wasn’t having it. “Whatever you are trying to do, you are [doing]”.
Meanwhile, as part of a fundraiser to support the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, Schumer raffled off a lap dance.

He said in a statement, “It was as great as you might imagine and not at all disappointing”.
