Amy Schumer has revealed she once asked her assistant to pretend to be her in order to distract paparazzi eager to take her photo while she was pregnant.
Molly Fischer, Schumer’s assistant, was subsequently asked to dress in a hoodie and carry Schumer’s dog Tatiana in front of the paparazzi.
In her new docuseries Expecting Amy, which covers the comedian’s often gruelling pregnancy, Schumer is seen disguising her assistant, who is also her sister-in-law, to throw photographers off her tail.
Schumer experienced a series of health woes throughout her pregnancy, including unrelenting nausea after being diagnosed with acute morning sickness.
