Wasn't an isolated incident:



Wish I knew video editing and stuff. This was done well and very quickly (and I've seen some great vids on youtube). But how do people have time to get so detailed with new entertainment scandals?

I don't care much about this topic, but didn't even know O'neil passed away. Thought Trainwreck was very disappointing, and even movie theater cashiers told me not to buy the ticket lol. Rarely do I enjoy stand-up(been to plenty of shows in NYC), but if these stars can make good movies, I consider them great.

Norton is also good friends with her and she is defending herself against all the accusations of stealing jokes, not just Patrice.

All you can do is give a person a chance to explain themselves especially if that person is a good friend.
So clearly his friendship with her outweighs his friendship with the late Oneal because he clearly gave her cover after she was caught red-handed stealing. That's my point. Being friends with someone doesn't mean that you're obligated to defend and protect them when they're wrong. He didn't HAVE to give her a platform to lie about stealing, he did it because it benefitted himself to hell with his so called friends legacy/memory.

I don't really give enough of a shyt to keep this going. Race overrides rationality for some of you militants.

Norton was defending Anthony Cumia too which is one of the times when "friendship" shouldn't be pushed to the forefront. Amy shouldn't get a pass for blatantly stealing jokes just like Cumia should have never been defended.

She's always been a thief.

Schumer and her sister were arrested for grand larceny and used their family connection to NY Senator Chuck Schumer to lean on the prosecutor to reduce the charges to disturbing the peace. They would steal stuff and return it for cash...over $100,000 thousand dollars worth of merchandise. Towards the end of the interview she implies that she was doing something else illegal (probably selling drugs) that would have put her away.
How Did Amy Schumer Learn to Be Funny?
ON SHOPLIFTING:

When you were young, you had a whole unusual fondness for shoplifting, didn't you?
Is it unusual? Actually, I think it's pretty typical of white girls.

Well, doing some shoplifting may be typical. But it sounds like you did a bit more than that.
Yes. I started just with my girlfriends—we would steal a bathing suit or some makeup or I don't know—and then I just got more serious about it. It became grand larceny when I was in college. I just discovered this department store where you could just take whatever and then return it for cash—no tags, no receipt, nothing. You know, thousands of dollars. It was exciting. It was the adrenaline—the actual act of getting away with it. It wasn't about the money, even though the money was nice. And I didn't feel bad about it—it was this huge corporation. You know, I never stole from people. I never stole from a little store.

You've said you might have stolen about $100,000 worth of stuff overall.
Sure. Yeah.

That's…
It's a lot. Yeah. I was stealing, like, age 14 to 21? I think I was arrested when I was 21. I got arrested stealing from Bloomingdale's with my sister—which I'd never stolen from before but Kim was like, "It's really easy," and then we found out it's the hardest place to shoplift from—and they kind of got it down to disturbing the peace, but if anybody dug into my record they would see that it was grand larceny.

What was the punishment?
shyt, what was it? Community service? A fine? I don't remember. But I just remember I was, "I don't want to go to jail." It felt really bad, being arrested. You have no say. And it was embarrassing. I was relieved because I got caught doing this other thing—had they caught me for the thing I'd been doing for years and years, I would probably have had to do time. So, relieved actually. But it sucked.

Was it easy for you to stop after that?
No. I missed it. It was a physical longing. It was hard. I don't ever get impulses anymore. It's been years.
Trainwreck! Amy Schumer Arrested For Grand Larceny Shoplifting -- Inside The Charges
Amy Schumer‘s new movie Trainwreck draws heavily from her own life, but there’s one embarrassing incident that didn’t make it to the big screen: her arrest for grand larceny shoplifting!

Schumer has previously admitted that she had sticky fingers well into her adult years. “It was just all from, like, department stores,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “I guess the impressive part was that I would return it for cash, and the most that I’d ever made was probably around $1,000. But I did it a lot.”

When she was 21, however, her bad habit caught up to her, and she and sister Kim Schumer — who is now a writer on her show — were arrested during one foiled heist.

“We were arrested for grand larceny,” the Inside Amy Schumer star admitted, but her relationship with uncle Charles Schumer, a New York Senator, came in handy.

She said, “[The cops] were like, ‘You’re lucky you have this last name.’ And they pleaded it down, to like disturbing the peace or something.”
