Eagle-eyed Twitter users noticed that one of Schumer\u2019s jokes went viral on Twitter in December, leading them to question if the 40-year-old comedian had stolen it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLeonardo DiCaprio is so passionate about climate change because he wants to leave a better word for his girlfriends,\u201d user Pj\u00f6rk <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NicoleConlan\/status\/1474118866003390476\"><span>shared<\/span><\/a><span>, making fun of how the actor dates much younger women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Oscars host told an incredibly similar joke at the Academy Awards when she said, \u201c[DiCaprio] has done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Schumer addressed the controversy during an appearance on \u201cWatch What Happens Live\u201d this week. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOK. Well, I would like to say, I haven\u2019t personally been on Twitter,\u201d the actress replied after being asked about stealing the joke.\u00a0<\/span><span>\u201cI\u2019ve had my assistant do it, just so I can remain alive and not kill myself. And also, that joke was written by Suli McCullough. But I thank you guys, always, for making sure that I don\u2019t start thievery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She went on to say she had taken a lie detector test from Vanity Fair, which included a question about stealing jokes. \u201c\u2026 [T]hey asked me, thank God, \u2018Have you ever stolen a joke?\u2019 and I said no, and it was \u2018that\u2019s true.\u2019 So, everybody just chill. It\u2019s crazy. I\u2019m funny enough, I don\u2019t need to steal s***.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Schumer discussed other topics from the Oscars, including the revelation that she donated her $15,000 earning from the hosting gig to Planned Parenthood, Variety <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/amy-schumer-denies-stealing-leonardo-dicaprio-oscars-joke-twitter-1235227377\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>. The actress, who is a distant cousin of Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), is an outspoken advocate for Planned Parenthood and abortion access.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In December, she shared a photo on\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CXBwuNBgT9-\/\"><span>Instagram<\/span><\/a><span> and wrote in the caption, \u201cWhat are they gonna do when their white privileged sons get a girl pregnant at the IV leagues they cheated them into? This is why I got arrested to try and stop [K]avanaugh confirmation while I was pregnant. Are girls going to only apply for colleges on states where [t]hey will have access to reproductive rights? @plannedparenthood is where people get birth control and cancer screenings. This is f***ing sick. Fight fight fight.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On \u201cWWHL,\u201d the comedian also weighed in on the infamous slap, saying she and others were \u201cfloored\u201d when Smith won Best Actor following the altercation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019ll just say: I was backstage, and I knew I had to go out \u2026 and it really felt like the Situation Room of comedy,\u201d she explained to host Andy Cohen. \u201cWe were all just watching the monitor, and then he won \u2026 Everyone was just kind of floored\u2014the whole thing. And I was just thinking, what am I going to do when I go out there?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Schumer also said Louis C.K.\u2019s win at the Grammys shortly after didn\u2019t \u201cfeel good\u201d either.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI don\u2019t think it feels good,\u201d Schumer said of the canceled comedian\u2019s win following allegations of sexual assault in the #MeToo era. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel good.
