Actress Amy Schumer has pulled out of playing "Barbie" in Mattel’s live-action take on their popular brand of toys for girls.
Schumer was also co-writing the script for the movie, which Sony is still set to make once it finds her replacement. Her departure is surprising given that she’d previously passionately defended her involvement in the project against mean-spirited doubters who said her appearance, weight and saucy attitude made her unsuitable to play willowy Barbie. Naysayers had been flooding social media with petitions for weeks decrying the casting.
She didn't even look like barbie anyways.
