The actress’ initial statement as to why she backed out of the project is because of “scheduling conflicts.”

Sony cast Schumer as the titular doll in 2016, and was co-writing the script, then just four months later, the back out news broke.

In a recent interview on The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed the real reason.

“They definitely didn’t want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it,” she said. She wanted Barbie to be an inventor, but the studio wanted her “invention” to be a high-heel made of Jell-O.

“The idea that that’s just what every woman must want, right there, I should have gone, ‘You’ve got the wrong gal.” She also revealed that the departure from the project has shaken up her career, saying it was “getting a little stagnant.”

“I felt like I was disappointing my team by not being Barbie," she mentioned as she discussed her decision to change talent representatives. “I loved those guys, but I just didn’t feel support for, like, ‘This is who Amy is and she’s not going to be this other thing.’”

The Barbie Movie casts Margot Robbie as Barbie and it will be directed by Greta Gerwig.
