Fans who are eager for a photo with Amy Schumer are out of luck. Thanks to one particularly intrusive, meddling “dude in Greenville”, South Carolina, the comedian has announced she’ll no longer be posing for photos - unless fans are particularly “nice”.

The 34-year-old Trainwreck star was so vexed by the man that she posted a photo of him on her Instagram, identifying him for all to see and announcing her new no-selfie dogma.

“This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the shit out of me. Put a camera in my face,” Schumer wrote on Instagram. “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,” Schumer added. “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 pictures with people anymore and it's because of this dude in Greenville".

Nevertheless Schumer followed up her post by explaining that she’ll still be taking photos with her polite fans.

Schumer then wrote another post explaining that while she is always grateful for her fans she is rather less enthralled with those who think behaviour like his is acceptable. “I am grateful to people who like my work and support me but not the ones who think that behaviour is ok”.

A representative for Schumer did not immediately respond to request for comment.
