The response to Amy Schumer's parody of Beyoncé's "Formation" has been, for lack of a better word, not great. By Saturday, Twitter had kicked off an #AmySchumerGottaGoParty in which some viewers criticized the clip as "racist" and "problematic." Schumer seemingly responded to the criticism Tuesday, reiterating the "fun" she had while shooting the Tidal-premiered "tribute" to Beyoncé.
"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation," Schumer wrote to her 5 million Instagram followers about the divided response to the clip, which also featured appearances from Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes, and Joan Cusack. "Thanks for the exclusive release Tidal! We had so much fun making this tribute. All love and women inspiring each other."
Schumer and Hawn recently wrapped shooting on a mother-daughter comedy in Hawaii. Speaking withCollider in July, writer Katie Dippold detailed how the film was actually based on some real-life shit . "I started daydreaming about, 'What if I took her on a crazy vacation somewhere?'" Dippold recalled of her own mother. "And then I Took us off the beaten path, just to shake things up? So then, I started thinking about a movie version of that."
The movie version of that is due next May. Maybe this wasn't the best promo tactic?
