This weekend in Greenville, South Carolina, a fan approached Amy Schumer wanting to get a photo with her, according to E!. The comedian reportedly said that the man was more aggressive than the typical fan.

On Instagram, Schumer commented, "This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the s--t out of me. Put a camera in my face...I asked him to stop and he said 'no it's America and we paid for you.' This was in front of his daughter. I was saying stop and no. Great message to your kid."

In a separate post, Schumer assured fans that the incident wouldn't mean the end of her posing with fans. She wrote, "Thanks for the kind words and support. I'll still take pictures with nice people when I choose to if it's a good time for that. But I don't owe you anything. So don't take if I say no."
