Amy Schumer: I resented the 'lack of trust' from fans over Kurt Metzger

Amy Schumer is still talking about Kurt Metzger.

The comedian was probably expecting her press tour for her new book, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, to be a fun and positive experience, but she has spent a large portion of it discussing a former Inside Amy Schumer writer who angered fans with comments about rape victims.

Schumer has spoken about him quite a few times at this point, but in an interview with her friend Lena Dunham for her newsletter, Lenny Letter she really opened up.

"First I was like, (expletive) Kurt," Schumer told Dunham in the candid interview. "It's been years that he's been doing this. He's one of those guys, like a lot of the guys that I'm friends with, who are degenerates. ... But also, why are these women treating him like he raped someone? He's not Bill Cosby; Kurt has never raped. What he was saying was horrific, and he was being a troll. He can be an Internet troll. The fact that I had to answer for it … I was like, 'Ugh, why this week?'"

Schumer said that while she understood the outrage and why it came back to her, she was disappointed that her track record as a feminist didn't earn her "good will" with fans.

"I do understand that (Kurt's actions) would come back to me," she said. "I can see myself thinking that if I heard somebody on someone's staff was doing that. I'd be like, 'I wonder how they are going to handle that.' I get it. I get it, and I wasn't even resentful of the connection. I was resentful of the lack of trust. Like, have I earned any good will with you guys? Do you believe that I feel that rape victims should be shamed on the Internet? Have I built up any sort of good will?"
