‘I don’t group myself in with her’ Amy Schumer on Ashley Graham
She might be one of the biggest stars in the TV and movie industry right now, but that doesn't mean everyone is always a fan of Amy Schumer.
Taking the opportunity to throw a little shade at the Trainwreck star recently, world-famous model, Ashley Graham, suggested Amy was playing it fast and loose with her perspective on plus-size women.
Reflecting on Amy's apparent irritation that she had been grouped alongside Ashley and Melissa McCarthy in a feature for Glamour magazine, Ashley questioned the star's supposed hypocrisy on the matter.
Commenting at the time, Amy said: "Glamour put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn't feel right to me. Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size?"
"I can see both sides, but Amy talks about being a big girl in the industry," Ashley said during a recent interview with Cosmopolitan.
"You thrive on being a big girl, but when you’re grouped in with us, you’re not happy about it? Ashley asked. "That, to me, felt like a double standard."
But if people were hoping Ashley's comments might lead to an online spat between the two women, they were left sorely disappointed.
Responding to Ashley's remarks on Twitter, Amy wrote: "I totally understand Ashley's feelings. I don't group myself in with her because she is unbelievably beautiful. Nothing but respect for her."

Equally gushing, Ashley replied: "I have the greatest respect for @amyschumer! So glad to be able to exchange thoughts, ideas & opinions w/ another incredible female force."
"Rock on girl. I'm so grateful for you," Amy replied "You inspire me!"
And that, ladies, is how it's done.
