    Against tremendous odds?

    Her blockbusters were all major studio releases, with healthy marketing campaigns to promote them.

    Yeah, its real easy for a size 12 to get that type of backing. Name the last non-traditional beauty to get to that point.

    Now compare those 2 to how many chances and roles do the Brooklyn Deckers get?

    That's an odd choice to try to make that point. She was in like two wide-release movies several years ago.

    She wasn't cast in spite of her looks.

    She wrote the damn movie, and was already famous as stand up comedian.

    Guess no one saw the Oprah interview, or her movie, and she's on the warpath.

    Best thing that ever happened to that guy. Gives him publicity he never would have had otherwise.

    JFC, read before you post.
    Like TSP said, it got his name and podcast in the Post.

    A. He's in the business. What's he supposed to say? People don't want to speak out after getting sexually assaulted, for fear of ruining their career, but you think this guy would criticize Amy Schumer, even if he wanted to?

    2. Even if he is ok with it, it still doesn't mean it wasn't a rude thing for her to do.
