This. Her Lawyers as well as CC Lawyers contacted them. They were scared off. Between this and the Patrice "material" from her special being called out means that she and her writers will need to be very careful at least for awhile.
I think Pescateli said something about "Madonna's PR People" hinting that she or others couldn't take that on. I suspect there was a mix of social pressures from a few comics and then no threats but kindly worded letters from lawyers or PR people who have names associated with them big enough to put fear into the smaller comics just by being contacted by them.
In money, nothing. This was all done at the agent/manager level. Calls were made, implied threats of not getting booked/hired, etc.
She's part of the Apatow machine, one call from high up could have gotten this done.
The "stars" don't get their hands dirty with this kind of thing, this is why you pay someone 15% of your gross, they can make things go away. Hollywood runs on cocaine and favors, after all.
That Amy ran to Norton's show is still kind of a puzzle, her people are probably pissed at her doing it, because they couldn't control it.
nothing, she either promised them parts in her show or movie or threatened them. I think we'll see Amy Schumer Girl Power tour in 2016 with Amy, Kathleen, Wendy and Tammy.
I don't know what she leveraged but it was well played. The only one she left hangin was pescatelli who coincidentally had the absolute weakest case. Keeping her complaining and snuffing the other two means Tammy becomes the face of the accusations which is perfect because she's the one with no leg to stand on

This is a very tiny industry just knowing who Rich Vos is proves that point. Amy didn't pay anything, she is the top of the female comedy food chain right now. Whitney Cummings and Kathy Griffen making these accusations at the same time would of been a big deal.
She probably didn't payout anything. It was more or less her agent/managers doing all the work. Probably called the women's managers and made threats like having them blacklisted from the club scene.
Its the same thing Mencia did if I remember correctly. His manager definitely tried to do that to Joe Rogan, who was also his client.
There is no "understanding comedy", you pretentious twat. We all have ears. She stole and we know it. Comedians are all just a bunch of worms with no integrity. They all backed her up for a chance to possibly be a c-lister in Hollywood.
This, im so fucking sick of hearing that comedians are the only ones that get comedy, holy fuck its enraging. Its the exact reason i cant listen to podcasts anymore, listen to comedians pontificate about comedy and how comedians see the funny in things makes me want to cut my ears off

Paid? No. All threats. A lesser Weinstein told them they'd never work again if they kept it up.

Right. The Madonna manager/publicist thing is kinda gross.

She went to Norton because we were fueling the whole story with our sneaky ways.

Literally several dollars

And this is why we provide such an important service.
Tired of your jokes being sucked into a comedy black hole? A wild boar running loose in your town? Worm infestation?
Go to Reddit, ask for Peckas.

The only thing she had to pay them was fake compliments.

A zillion dollars.

Or they don't think it's anywhere near as big a deal as you cretins do.
They understand comedy, after all. You don't.
