Amy Schumer posts nude photo on Instagram to address controversy

Updated

Amy Schumer is once again taking on backlash around her -- this time with a nude photo.

The "Trainwreck" star took to Instagram on Wednesday to respond to the uproar over a report that surfaced that revealed she was paid $11 million for her recent Netflix special, while legendary comedians Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle were each paid $20 million for their respective specials.

In her Instagram post, Schumer is seen posing in barely-there nude underwear as she holds up her dog wearing a hot dog costume in front of her bare chest.

The accompanying caption takes on the pay discrepancy between her, Rock and Chappelle, and she maintains that she doesn't think she "deserves" to be paid the same as the two stars.

"Thanks for chiming in on what you feel I deserve to be paid," she wrote. "I believe women deserve equal pay. However I don't believe I deserve equal pay to Chris and Dave. They are legends and 2 of the greatest comics of all time."

She went on to highlight one of her proudest accomplishments.

"I would like to say that I have been selling out arenas these last couple years. Something a female comic has never done," she explained. "That's a big deal to me, especially because I know I do my best every night on stage for the audience and they have a good time."

She wrapped up by revealing that, though she didn't ask to be paid the same as Rock or Chappelle, she did negotiate for Netflix's initial offer to be higher.

"I didn't ask for the same as my friends," her caption finished. "I did ask for more than the initial offer. I will continue to work my ass off and be the best performer I can be. The reports of me 'demanding' or 'insisting' on equal pay to them aren't a true. #fat#stealsjokes"
