Kurt Metzger - White Precious - Jaywalking Ticket
Amy Schumer has spoken out about her disappointment over one of her show writer"s controversial comments about rape.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, Kurt Metzger who has worked as a writer on Inside Amy Schumer criticized women who claim to have been raped, but do not report it to the police.
"I am so saddened and disappointed in Kurt Metzger," Schumer tweeted in response to the Inside Amy Schumer writer. "He is my friend and a great writer and I couldn"t be more against his recent actions."
Metzger"s post, obtained in a screenshot by Medium.com, joked about the topic as he wrote that declaring someone is a rapist without evidence is "like hammering the nails into Jesus My Lord"s feet! Or re-raping the victim"s good hole. Or asking for proof in a murder trial!"
As fans responded to Schumer"s tweet, questions about Metzger"s employment continued to come up, prompting the actress who recently revealed she was a victim of sexual assault to later tweet, "Kurt does not work for me. He is not a writer on my show. Please stop asking me about it. His words are not mine."
Metzger"s most recent writing credit on the show is from an April episode.
Metzger responded in a series of social media posts defending his position on the topic, saying that he wasn"t victim blaming and that the people who are accusing him of doing so are missing the point that he was simply asking for more information.
"Sorry for spreading so much HATE by merely asking ANY QUESTIONS before I join your mob! Can u please accept my apology," he wrote, adding in other tweets, "Wouldn"t blame a victim for trying to destroy an attacker"s rep Notice I didn"t declare guilt or innocence on this dude? I merely stated that the idea of an "internal ucb [Upright Citizen"s Brigade] investigation" is f---ed."
Metzger continued his defense on Facebook and will discuss the issue in an interview on Race Wars on Sirius XM"s Opie Radio on Wednesday night.
