Celebrity Comedian Amy Schumer posted a picture of a local man on her Instagram Saturday as backlash for a selfie gone wrong in downtown Greenville. Now, that man is defending his selfie video and says he wants everyone to know his side of the story.
Schumer held a comedy show in Greenville Friday night. She was downtown Greenville Saturday and made the Instagram post the same day. She claims a man scared her and insisted on taking photos even after she asked him not to. The post says the man said “no it’s America and we paid for you.” She added that he was the reason she wouldn’t be taking photos with fans any longer.
The post has received national attention and has since gotten thousands of likes and comments. It reads:
This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the **** out of me. Put a camera in my face. I asked him to stop and he said “no it’s America and we paid for you” this was in front of his daughter. I was saying stop and no. Great message to your kid. Yes legally you are allowed to take a picture of me. But I was asking you to stop and saying no. I will not take picture with people anymore and it’s because of this dude in Greenville.”
She also went to Twitter to thank fans for support.. She said she will still take pictures with nice people but pressed that she doesn’t owe anyone anything and that if she says no, that it should not be done.
Leslie Brewer says the man in the post is him and that he believes the situation has been blown out of proportion . He says Schumer’s post doesn’t tell the whole story and that he was doing what any fan would do.
“I’m being looked at as somebody that I’m not. You know, at first it was funny but as the days go on, it is kind of like, wow,” he said.
Fuck that girl yo... I could see if he was by himself or with a group of dudes but he was with his wife and his daughter.
"This is America, we paid for you"
I cant front, this is some funny shit for a black man to say to a white woman.

Like if a celebrity doesn't look halfway decent they don't want pics of them being taken. She looked like she just got done working out. I wouldn't want that picture of me out there either.
