Amy Schumer, known for her comedic antics, recently made headlines for her bold sense of humor at the Variety Power of Women event in NYC. During the event, Sascha Seinfeld shared a humorous anecdote about Schumer's playful nature. Seinfeld recounted a dinner held in memory of the late Jimmy Buffett, where Schumer lightened the mood by pulling a prank on Buffett's widow, Jane. Schumer reportedly greeted Jane with a hug while exposing her breast, eliciting laughter from the guests and bringing a moment of levity to the somber occasion.
Seinfeld also mentioned another quip Schumer made to Delaney, Buffett's daughter, jokingly expressing a wish for her own father to be deceased. Despite the seemingly irreverent humor, Schumer's close relationship with the Buffetts was evident, as she had been friends with the family for years and even featured Jimmy Buffett in a cameo on her show 'Life & Beth'.
Aside from her comedic antics, Schumer used her platform at the event to advocate for female empowerment and raise awareness for Everytown for Gun Safety, a cause she became involved with following a tragic incident in 2015. Two women were shot and killed while attending a screening of Schumer's movie 'Trainwreck', prompting her to take action and support gun safety initiatives.
The Variety Power of Women event also honored other influential figures, including producer Shonda Rhimes, actress Mariska Hargitay, and singer Anitta. The event, hosted by Amber Ruffin, brought together a diverse group of attendees, including Glenn Close, Nicky Hilton, Tamron Hall, and Melissa Joan Hart, to celebrate the achievements and contributions of these remarkable women.
