Did Jennifer Lawrence dump Amy Schumer as a friend?

Well, it had to happen, right? At this point, we know no relationship is safe in 2016 and according to the National Enquirer, it claimed another one – Lawmer: Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence’s galmance (that’s the counter to bromance, right?) They splashed onto the scene last year with a fast and furious friendship involving jet-skiing vacations, piano-dancing and sleepovers. For all intents and purposes, they were incredibly well suited for each other, both loving the outrageous reputation the press gave them and their inability to not talk about bodily functions. But the sun has set on Lawmer and it was a joke that killed them. The Enquirer says J.Law is livid with Amy for sharing with Lena Dunham’s Lenny a text that Jen sent her. Amy was speaking of the tragic shooting in the Louisiana movie theater during Amy’s film Trainwreck and referred to a text from Jen that read, “It’s Your Fault.”

J.Law is pissed at [Amy] for blabbing in… Lena Dunham’s online newsletter, Lenny Letter, a source told All The Buzz.

Amy told Lenny Letter readers about the insensitive text J.Law sent her following last year’s Louisiana movie theater shootings, in which two women were killed at a screening of “Trainwreck.”

Jennifer joked, “It’s your fault” – and now she’s livid at Amy for talking about it and making her look heartless!

“This has put the nail in the coffin on that friendship,” dished a snitch.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 17, 2016]

To give a little context, in the Lenny newsletter, Amy was praising Jennifer for breaking her tension with a joke. Her comment was, “You know, that is actually when I felt the closest to Jennifer Lawrence, because that day she texted me, “It’s your fault.” And in times like that only jokes make you feel a little better.” Lena agreed that that was, “the greatest worst thing I ever heard.” For all the things that I can fault Amy for, her reaction to that shooting is not one of them. I know it deeply affected her. So I get that she is just speaking her truth about her experience. But I can also see why Jen would be angry. I love dark humor and use it generously – in private. You have to know your audience before you say something that dark. Whereas Amy was the perfect person to text that to, the numerous people reading Lenny weren’t and it does really make Jennifer look insensitive.

So is this it? Is this the end of the Raunchy Blondes Club? I doubt it. I think their schedules and relationships are the reason we haven’t seen them together. Time will heal this too. If not, Amy can always send Jen a roomful of balloons, that should work. Regarding the last bit about the “snitch” confirming The End – does the “snitch” not recognize that running to major outlets with private information does not sit well with Jen?

    Maybe Lawrence is maturing. She is younger than Schumer, whose personality is now more fully-formed. Some jokes are private for a reason.

  2. Malibu Stacy says:

    They’re both annoying so I’m sure they’ll be friends again in no time.

  3. kay says:

    Uh YUP, if you are privy to dark humour with a friend, best to keep it WITH that friend.
    My humour can be quite dark at times, but I only share it with like-minded humourists…my need to use humour to deal with certain situations does not trump sensitivity to others who don’t so I’d be pissed if someone did that.
    Also: don’t most of us check in with friends prior to sharing (let alone in print… EGADS, yo!) as a standard practice or is it just me and mine?

  4. mar_time says:

    I read about this on blind gossip about a month ago…seems to only confirm it. I think it said she felt used by Amy so I can see her wanting to distance herself if that’s the case

    • Alex says:

      Blind Gossip and The National Enquirer are equally unreliable. Plus, this silly rumor was debunked by Amy’s rep via GC last week.

  5. Sam says:

    Their friendship is so annoying. It’s even more annoying than anyone of Taylor Swift’s friendships. Like anytime they talk about one another, I cringe because it just seems so forced so if it’s over, good riddance. Nobody is missing that.

  6. paolanqar says:

    Do you prefer:
    a. Get Cheetos’ dust off JLaw’s clothes while she tells you all about how normal she is
    b. Being forced to watch one of Amy Schumer’s shows on repeat
    c. Pick Lord Voldemort’s nose
    d. Decapitation

  7. M says:

    Schumer uses her ‘friends’ for material. I wouldn’t trust her.

    • Denise says:

      I think she uses them for relevance and status even more. And that she pulled out her phone to namedrop.

  8. A says:

    Both of them annoy the crap out of me anyway. 😛 Like mild, under-the-skin frustration and not a full-blown, “WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU” kind of frustration of course.

  9. Marty says:

    I get dark humour too, but that text is pretty bad.

    • LolaBones says:

      Yeah, I like dark humor too, but that joke wasnt funny at all. Perhaps there was more context to it but it sounds awful.

  10. Dominique says:

    Schumer is turning into a Handler rapidly…….

  11. OhDear says:

    I don’t think this story is true. That being said, I can see how Schumer would be an exhausting friend for various reasons.

  12. Alex says:

    It’s not real. Gossip Cop already debunked that rumor several days ago. And it’s The National Enquirer. They aren’t capable of telling the truth.

  13. Susie says:

    I think it should be “bramance.”

  14. LeAnn Stinks says:

    This is one of those, “Who gives a turd?” stories.

    We use this kind of humour in our family to deal with the worst personal tragedies…but we keep it private. There are jokes I would tell to my brother that I would never say to anyone else, because we have that understanding of where it coming from and the purpose it is serving. I’ve had people overhear our private jokes, to deal with the untimely passing of our mother, and want to try and school me about why it is inappropriate. Obviously those people get put in their place pretty quickly, but it is a reminder about why our gallows humour is not for public consumption.

  16. Nikki says:

    Charlotte, my husband, me, and our 3 adult children are sensitive people who are very kind and volunteer for various good causes. But our humor is SO dark, you would think we were monsters if some of our comments were “leaked”. J Law’s comment sounds exactly like our humor. We KNOW we don’t mean it, but I would feel very betrayed if I were her, if this was true. I don’t dislike JLaw; despite rocketing to the A List, her worst behavior is silly, not vicious like Justin Bieber, or terribly self destructive like so many very young superstars.
