Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn recently wrapped filming the movie Mother/Daughter together in Hawaii, and they clearly had fun together between takes. The two showed off their chemistry while filming a dance video (along with Wanda Sykes, Joan Cusack, and Amy's sister, Kim Caramele) to Beyoncé's hit "Formation" — but the clip angered some people who felt that the parody was racist, especially considering that "Formation" was a song written to both celebrate black women and shed light on police brutality and racial tension in America.

Amy responded to the backlash on Monday, first sharing a topless Instagram photo of herself, writing, "You know you that b*tch when you cause all this conversation," quoting a line from "Formation." She added: "Thanks for the exclusive release Tidal! We had so much fun making this tribute. All love and women inspiring each other. #strongertogether." She later posted another video from bed with the caption, "Grateful."
