Amy Schumer had a pretty scary encounter with a fan recently

Celebrity life is a catch 22.

You have more money, international recognition, and thousands of fans, but sometimes it's the fans themselves that make things hard. Privacy for public figures is notoriously difficult to maintain, and many famous people have spoken about how fans forget that they are human beings, invading their personal space, interrupting family dinners at restaurants, and following them around shopping centres. Comedian Amy Schumer had one such unsavoury encounter with a fan recently, and it left her nervous about taking photographs with people in future. She posted a photo of the man, taken in Greenville, South Carolina:

Schumer wrote underneath: 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. 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. The comedian later clarified on Twitter:

Thanks for the kind words and support. I know there are bigger problems in the world. But this was not right pic.twitter.com/8fqoIm7sHC — Amy Schumer (@amyschumer) April 30, 2016
