Amy Schumer continues to share her thoughts on the controversy caused during the 2022 Academy Awards, following the off-script joke that created the conflict between Chris Rock and Will Smith, the comedian is now revealing the joke she ‘wasn’t allowed’ to make at the ceremony.During her recent stand-up comedy act in Las Vegas, Schumer, who previously revealed she was “still triggered and traumatized” by the Oscars slap, told the audience some of the jokes labeled too controversial for the show, including a joke about Joe Rogan, James Franco, and one about the fatal shooting involving Alec Baldwin on the set of ‘Rust.’“Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie? More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun,” Schumer said, “I wasn’t allowed to say any of that, but you can just come up and [slap] someone.”And while the comedian described the slap as “disturbing,” explaining that she was “still in shock and stunned and sad,” and “waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed,” online users shared their thoughts on what was described as an “insensitive” and “tasteless” joke, following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.“It’s not funny to joke about someone being killed by a prop gun,” one person wrote, while another one commented, “How do you think hearing this makes Halyna Hutchins’ grieving family feel?”

More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun,” she said. “I wasn’t allowed to say any of that [at the Oscars], but you can just come up and [slap] someone.”Schumer was referring to the October 2021 accidental shooting death of Hutchins in which Baldwin pointed a prop gun in her direction and it fired, also injuring director Joel Souza in the process.And, of course, she backtracked a little to get into more depth about the slap heard around the world.
