Amy Schumer and Nikki Glaser embroiled in explosive secret feud at worst possible time for Trainwreck star
AMY Schumer and her onetime best friend, fellow comic Nikki Glaser, are embroiled in a secret feud, The U.S. Sun can report.
Sources have said Golden Globes host Nikki, 41, has quietly distanced herself from Amy, 44, and the two are now no longer speaking.
The feud comes at the worst possible time for Amy, as she battles the fall-out from her marriage ending.
A source close to the stars exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Nikki – who is set to host the Globes again in January – has quietly parted ways with the onetime superstar.
“Amy and Nikki used to be attached at the hip, but you don’t really see them together anymore,” the source claimed.
The insider said that Nikki – who used to give glowing interviews about her friendship with the I Feel Pretty star – is sick of walking on eggshells around Amy.
“All of a sudden, Amy became very woke in the sense that you can’t say anything in front of her without her getting offended,” the insider explained, adding that the women no longer respect each other’s style of comedy.
“They just don’t like each other’s stuff anymore.”
A separate source summed up: “They stopped being close because Amy got weird.”
The second source also claimed Amy’s other former dear friend, Rachel Feinstein, has also quietly cut out Amy from her life.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Amy, Nikki and Rachel for comment, but did not hear back.
BEST FRIENDS
Nikki, who was featured on Amy’s former Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer, gave several interviews about their friendship over the years.
In one interview with US Weekly in 2015, Nikki said: “She’s like the type of person that you’d be like, ‘Oh my god, I want to be best friends with her,’ so it’s like a miracle to me when I hang out with her…I’m like, ‘Do you know I’d be stalking you [if we weren’t friends]?””
In a post the following year, Amy called Nikki her “main chick,” while plugging her show that was about to be released, Not Safe With Nikki Glaser.
HEARTBREAKING DIVORCE
The friendship fall-out comes at a tough time in Amy’s personal life, as she announced last week she is splitting from her husband of seven years, celebrity chef Chris Fischer, 45.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” she said on Friday, December 12.
“We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” Amy wrote, referring to their six-year-old son, Gene David Fischer.
The comedian then added that their separation was not caused by her recent weight loss, despite rumors that have been circulating in recent weeks.
“We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time. [It’s] not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag [a] basket [sic] and not because he’s a hot [James] Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.
“Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever,” Amy concluded her post.
The U.S. Sun also recently reported in November that the star was having difficulty selling the $12.75 million Brooklyn townhouse the couple share, even after significantly reducing the asking price.
