 Amy Schumer has apologised for making a joke about the way Nicole Kidman was sitting in a photograph after cruel trolls abused her for the way she looks. The comedian and actress was at the centre of controversy after she joked about Hollywood star Nicole, who was photographed watching the US Open.

Amy took to Instagram on Friday where she explained: 'Okay so the joke I was making was the way was posed didn't seem like how a human sits. I was not making fun of how she looks.
