Amy Schumer is clearly a fan of The Bachelor, and on Monday night, she took to Twitter to blast host Chris Harrison for the comments he made about contestant Jubilee Sharpe.

During the The Bachelor: Women Tell All special, Harrison and Sharpe had a discussion about the tragedies in her past, and how Ben Higgins reacted to the knowledge of her family members’ deaths.

“Ben was everything that I thought he was. You know, he didn’t see me and my complicated past as a huge obstacle,” Sharpe said to Harrison. To which Harrison responded, “I know you can’t control how complicated you are. You might be complicated, and I know you stir the pot sometimes, but I hope you realize you’re a pretty special woman, and I really appreciate you coming here and opening up the way you did.”

And it’s those comments that Schumer has taken issue with, as she tweeted about how being complicated is not a bad thing, but that Harrison “treated it like something she should fight.”

However, Schumer’s comments and her defense of the word complicated are admirable, and she is completely right — women do not need to be uncomplicated to be lovable.
