“I called Kim Kardashian. I said I wanted to make this joke and asked if she would mind. She said no. She was like, ‘Yeah, go ahead with the one about my dad defending a murderer.’ She was super chill about it,” Schumer revealed.
Amy Schumer stars as Lainy Newton in the new Netflix movie *Kinda Pregnant*. Newton is a single teacher who envies her best friend’s pregnancy. She decides to fake being pregnant to try and fulfill her dream of becoming a mother.
