Celebrity interviewers have really been giving journalists a bad rap these days. Just ask Matt Bomer, Robert Downey Jr. and the stars of Orange Is the New Black.

Now add Amy Schumer to that list thanks to Australia's KIIS 101.1 host Matt Tilley. During an interview about the film Trainwreck, Tilley calls Schumer's autobiographical character "skanky." Amy initially takes it in stride, jabbing back with a comment at the host's mother, but the host continues to push the issue, until Amy admits she was offended.

If you hoped that was the end of the cringe-worthiness, Tilley later goes on to say Schumer's character is driven by "drinking and cheap sex."
