The comedian is honest to a fault: her comments are regularly reported out of context to create clickbait news stories that give people the wrong idea of what she meant and of her as a human, but she doesn't stop. Her commitment to truth, especially in the celebrity world she inhabits, is as unusual as it is admirable.

It was the only ticket available at such short notice," he told Business Insider.

I was trying hard to suppress my laughter to hold it in, to hold it back, to not fully express the joy I was feeling. I was being somewhat successful. And then I wasn't. Everyone in the audience was laughing but I was laughing too much.
