Amy Schumer secures Kim Kardashian's approval for family joke in Kinda Pregnant

Amy Schumer revealed that she contacted Kim Kardashian to obtain permission for a joke about her late father, Robert Kardashian, in her upcoming Netflix rom-com Kinda Pregnant, set to premiere on February 5. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Schumer explained that she pitched a joke where her character reads a tabloid story to a child instead of a bedtime story, which included a humorous reference to Robert defending a murderer. Kardashian, described by Schumer as 'a good sport,' approved the joke, expressing no concerns about its content. The humor highlights Robert Kardashian's role as O.J. Simpson's defense attorney during the infamous 1995 murder trial. While Schumer's film has garnered mixed reactions from early viewers, she emphasized her efforts to avoid offending the Kardashian family. The movie follows her character's humorous journey as she fakes a pregnancy, leading to unexpected complications.
