Paramount has fired me.

Amy was fired from Paramount TV in July 2018 after being accused of making racist comments that went against the company’s principles. In a conference call with the producers about the television adaptation of the 1996 film First Wives Club, she was believed to have made a remark about black women being angry.

Her inappropriate statement led an African-American assistant on the phone to protest about the event, according to the report. Amy, on the other hand, denied uttering any such inappropriate remarks.
