Amy Schumer's Instagram feed is full of hot takes—some of which make absolutely no sense—but she's not immune to a hot take getting thrown directly back at her.
After seeing A Quiet Place II over the long weekend—which has set a pandemic record by grossing $58.5 million over the holiday weekend—Schumer made an Instagram story praising the movie. 
But she also said she believed Emily Blunt and John Krasinski—Blunt starred in the film and Krasinski wrote it and directed—were in a "pretend marriage" for publicity.

People noted Schumer's commentary on both A Quiet Place II and Cruella.
For the latter Schumer made star Emma Stone the target.

Krasinski himself commented on the expired Instagram story:
"Thank you Amy!... for blowing up our whole marriage spot."@johnkrasinski & Emily Blunt are relationship goals. In a world where long marriages DO exist (33yrs here & counting) I hope they continue their happily ever after for their whole lives.

This is really unfair to Emily and John. They can\u2019t have a marriage for publicity because they have a marriage set up as an op by the CIA

If Amy Schumer was married to John Krasinski, I'd believe that to be a publicity stunt. But him being married to Emily Blunt makes a lot of sense in my world. I definitely see what they'd see in each other.https://twitter.com/enews/status/1399230213918167044\u00a0\u2026

Schumer's joke was obviously just a silly dig, but Krasinski did tell USA Today there was a moment during filming when he actually feared the worst for his marriage.
The infamous scene from the trailer, in which the bus is driving full speed at Blunt's car as she backs up to get away from it, was shot without a rehearsal at Blunt's request, which made Krasinski extremely nervous.

"I said, 'Do you want to rehearse this once?' And she said, 'No, I want you to get the real reaction.' So that shot is what's in the movie: That was the first time she was ever in that car, and that bus is actually coming at her at 40 miles an hour," he said. 
"Right as I closed the door and before I called action, I thought, 'Did I just put my marriage on the line?' This could go very badly for a lot of reasons."Emily Blunt and John Krasinski being adorable behind the scenes of #AQuietPlace2pic.twitter.com/uo2RInUCAS

Krasinski and Blunt have been married for 11 years, and have two children.
If it's a publicity stunt, they have truly gone above and beyond.

When Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor in June, Republicans and some old school Democrats were positively apoplectic.
An immigrant Muslim of Gujarati and Punjabi Indian parents who has lived in NYC since he was 7 years old, the 34-year-old New York State Assembly member was the stuff of nightmares for the MAGAsphere. Mamdani was a non-White, non-Christian, Uganda-born immigrant and progressive Democrat.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people nodding their heads after she opened up about why democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday is so important for the country at large as well as for the future of the Democratic Party.
Mamdani successfully took on the establishment to become the first South Asian, first Muslim, and first millennial mayor-elect, running a campaign that focused predominantly on the city's affordability crisis and that successfully batted away racist and Islamophobic backlash from right-wingers who claimed his policies would "destroy" the city.
