TV host, actress, producer and stand-up comedian Amy Schumer, 34, decided not to take any more photos with fans, thanks to a particular guy in South Carolina. The 34-year-old star explained that a man ran up to her on Greenville street and scared her. She was in the city on April 30 for her comedy tour.
"Put a camera in my face. I asked him to stop." Schumer wrote in the caption of her Instagram post on April 30. "He said 'No it's America and we paid for you.'"
Schumer added that the guy was with his daughter. As she said stop and no, he continued. Such act was a great message to his kid. Legally, one can take photos of her, but she said to stop and no, vowing not to take photos with people anymore. For such decision, she blamed the Greenville dude.

A few hours earlier, Schumer shared a video through Instagram from her Greenville stop. It captured the city's more positive vibes.
The "Trainwreck" star was in Greenville, SC and performed on the night of April 29 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. It was to kick off her 10-city comedy tour, ABC News reported.
Many of Schumer's followers in social media lamented over her decision to stop taking photos with fans. The "Inside Amy Schumer" writer then changed mood, saying she is still willing to take photos with nice people, when she sees it is a good time for it, she tweeted. She feels she does not owe anyone anything and has the right to say no.
"I am grateful to people who like my work and support me but not the ones who think that behavior is ok." Schumer told People.
The comedienne then proceeded to Lexington, Kentucky to perform at Rupp Arena on April 30, then to Hampton, Virginia on May 1, Sunday. Her next destinations are Times Union Center, Albany, New York (May 5); Blue Cross Arena, Rochester, NY (May 6); First Niagara Center, Buffalo, NY (May 7); Germain Arena, Estero, Florida (May 14); Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Area, FL (May 15); CFE Arena, Orlando, FL (May 16) and Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (June 23).
