Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has been accused of being a “mean girl”.
Schumer has now removed an Instagram post of Nicole Kidman at the 2023 US Open women’s final after being criticised for “cyber-bullying”.
Schumer was slammed by her social media followers after she shared a snap of Kidman while she was watching the star-studded sporting event from the stands, according to Page Six.
“This how human sit”, Schumer wrote in the post’s caption, hinting that the 56-year-old actress looked robotic.

“Are you cyber-bullying Oscar and Emmy winner Nicole Kidman right now?” one person asked.
Another wrote: “Bringing others down is always a sign of our own internal insecurities anyway, so the critics here should hold a mirror.”
