Comedienne Tammy Pescatelli has apologized to Amy Schumer after she accused her of stealing jokes, admitting on "Jim Norton Advice Show" on Wednesday that she "went too far."
"I was the last to the party and I drank the most and was the loudest," Pescatelli said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "I probably should have just stayed out of it and kept my mouth shut."
Pescatelli says that she first took notice of the similarities of a joke of hers and Schumer's when the first trailer for the latter's film "Trainwreck" was released.
She didn't make a big fuss about it, even after fans pointed out the similarity, until she took part in a Twitter conversation between herself, Kathleen Madigan and Wendy Liebman.
"It is probably parallel thinking, that does happen," she admitted. She initially thought that it was a writer who copied the joke, according to People.
Schumer took to Twitter to immediately deny the accusations hurled against her. "On my life, I have never and would never steal a joke," the comedienne tweeted to her 3.34 million followers.
Over on Jim Norton's SiriusXM, she said that she's willing to go through a polygraph test to prove that she would never attempt to steal jokes from her fellow comediennes.
"I have to come up with so much material for my TV show, this movie, stand-up. And I'm so careful. And none of these things had ever reached me," Schumer said, as HNGN previously reported.
