Year: 2016

We all used jokes we heard from other people and passed them as ours. However, when professional comedians do that, it is heavily frowned upon. Amy Schumer plagiarism scandal, the last one on our list of 11 biggest plagiarism scandals of all time, is still being discussed among her peers. Three of her female colleagues accused her of stealing their work and passing it as her own. Tammy Pescatelli, Kathleen Madigan, and Wendy Liebman all claim that Schumer ripped them off without even saying thank you. Pescatelli even went a few steps further and tweeted “at least Cosby knocked his victims out b4 he raped them”. Schumer vehemently denied all accusation and even vowed to take a polygraph test in her new show in order to prove her innocence. We are still waiting on it.
