Amy Schumer had a good night at Sunday's Critics' Choice Movie Awards, taking home the MVP award.

So she was rightfully annoyed when she discovered that Johnson Murphy, the 17-year-old film critic who runs Lights Camera Jackson, posted a crude caption after the pair had posed together on the red carpet.

Murphy has since deleted the tweet and apologized, but not before TV editor Steven Santos got a screenshot of it, because the Internet is forever.

I truly apologize for the tweet I posted earlier. I'm not a comedian and it wasn't funny. @amyschumer— LightsCameraJackson (@LCJReviews) January 18, 2016

Although the tweet is gone, hopefully the lesson remains that the appropriate way to honor a woman -- or anyone -- you admire is not making a cheap joke about sleeping with them. Though Schumer's self-deprecating comedy deals in topics like sex and gender, she doesn't actively invite others' mocking at her expense.

She kept things classy and did not continue to drag the kid after his mistake.

@LCJReviews that's really okay honey. I just remember thinking you and your dad were sweet and it was a bummer to read that— Amy Schumer (@amyschumer) January 18, 2016

Murphy, who has previously irked his fair share of people, will hopefully learn from the experience.
