She was referring to her Oscars spot, in which the comedian lampooned 47-year-old DiCaprio’s penchant for dating younger women.
“He has done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends,” she joked. Then, during the call-in segment of “WWHL,” a fan asked if she’d lifted the one-liner from a nearly identical post on Twitter from December 2021.
However, the comic, who has been accused of joke theft in the past, quickly shot down the allegations.“Well, I would like to say, I haven’t personally been on Twitter. I’ve had my assistant do it, just so I can remain alive and not kill myself,” the “Inside Amy Schumer” host responded on the air.
