Season 1 noticed British singer-songwriter and member of The Police Sting play a fairly bad-tempered model of himself, as he lives in the Arconia rental building. Season 2 — which premiered on Tuesday, June 28, 2022 — isn't missing in the visitor star division. While actors like Cara Delevingne (Paper Towns), Michael Rapaport (Atypical), and Shirley Maclaine (Terms of Endearment) all play characters, comic and actress Amy Schumer (Life & Beth) plays a bonkers model of herself, just like Sting did.
There's one specific line from the mouth of Amy Schumer in the Season 2 premiere episode, "Persons of Interest," that has people elevating their eyebrows. While discussing a selected accomplished movie director — Judd Apatow — Amy hints at having sued him. Is this in line with fact?

Did Amy Schumer in reality sue Judd Apatow?
Guess who is renting out Sting's condo? Yup, it is Amy Schumer. When Oliver Putnam meets Amy in the building's elevator for the first time, their dialog is friendly and light-hearted. And we will have to touch upon Amy's surprising outfit. Wearing an oversized plaid coat, a blush-colored tie laid over a white button-down blouse — the collar popped — a black velvet beret, and a pair of large burnt orange sun shades, Amy is a imaginative and prescient.

After detailing that she's moving into Sting's rental (although she hardly is aware of who he's), Oliver welcomes her to the construction.
"Are you Oliver Putnam?" she asks. Jokingly, he responds "Well, that depends. Are you suing me?" The two continue to chuckle in combination ahead of Amy says "No ... I only sued Judd Apatow." Wait what? She instantly adjustments the topic, which has fans questioning if she in truth did sue the comedy director.
Starring Amy Schumer and Bill Hader (Barry), 2015's Trainwreck used to be also written through Amy. Judd Apatow directed the rom-com, which earned a whopping $140.8 million at the field office international, in keeping with The Cinemaholic.
There is not any evidence that Amy sued Judd in real-life, as the two are very shut colleagues. In reality, many have deemed Judd Apatow as a mentor for Amy as she made the transfer from stand-up comedy to comedic onscreen appearing.

"I heard her on Howard Stern, and she was talking about her dad a lot, who has multiple sclerosis, and what she was saying was really painful, but it was also really honest and warm and funny. She was also talking about her relationships, and the problems she was having sustaining healthy ones. I was in my car, and I didn't know her stand-up at all. Maybe I’d seen her on a commercial for a roast," Judd Apatow advised Vox Amy in 2015.

"I really wasn't familiar, and then I just sat in that parking lot [listening] for 45 minutes. I didn't get out of the car. I thought, 'Oh, these are definitely movies.' So I asked her to come in, and we started kicking around ideas, and that led to Trainwreck. But I haven't had that experience with anyone else where listening to them talk made me think, 'Oh, this is a natural storyteller.'"
The recognize they have for each other is mutual; and so far as the public knows, the quippy Judd Apatow suing line was purely for giggles.
The first three episodes of Season 2 of Only Murders in the Building are lately streaming on Hulu.
