Amy Schumer has been accused of stealing jokes from three other comedians.
Wendy Liebman, Tammy Pescatelli and Kathleen Madigan sent out a series of tweets this week accusing the 34-year-old of taking their jokes and passing them off as her own.

“Between Amy Schumer doing 1 of my best jokes on her HBO special and this meme of my joke, I’m done with social media,” Liebman wrote on Twitter, then deleted it. (RELATED: Amy Schumer Wants More Restrictive Gun Control Laws After ‘Trainwreck’ Shooting)

Pescatelli said Schumer was hypocritical, then later deleted this tweet.
“What has always been amazing to me is that she purports to be a feminist and yet only steals from other female comedians,” Pescatelli tweeted. “If we call her on it we are ‘jealous’ or career shamed. Be successful. WE want you to do well, just do it will your own material.”
On Wednesday, Schumer denied the accusations and even said she’ll take a polygraph to prove she’s not lying.
“I’m being accused of stealing jokes and I wanted to come and talk to you about it and clear my name,” Schumer said during a radio interview with Jim Norton.
“Because I would never, ever do that and I never have. And I’m literally going to take a polygraph test and put it on my show this season.” (RELATED: Amy Schumer: ‘I Got Famous By Playing A Racist White Republican’)
