Amy Schumer, star of the Emmy-winning Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer and the box-office smash Trainwreck, is known for telling jokes. But rape is certainly no laughing matter, and the 35-year-old Schumer revealed in a stunning new interview with Marie Claire that her first sexual experience was just that.

Just last month, Amy Schumer revealed that she was 17-years-old when she lost her virginity, and now, details of the encounter have come to light as she begins work on her new memoir. In what Marie Claire is calling Amy Schumer’s “most revealing interview ever,” the comedian opens up about the experience after having blocked it out for so many years. Schumer says that it wasn’t until she reread a journal that she kept from ages 12 to 23, an experience she calls “very painful” in itself, that she realized what had actually happened.

“My first sexual experience was not a good one. I didn’t think about it until I started reading my journal again. When it happened, I wrote about it almost like a throwaway. It was like, And then I looked down and realized he was inside of me. He was saying, ‘I’m so sorry’ and ‘I can’t believe I did this.'”

While painful for Schumer to essentially relive the experience, there are no plans or desire on her part to try and punish the man that did this and says that he’s obviously no longer in her life.

“This was 17 years ago. There are just so many factors.”

Amy Schumer also says that wasn’t the only time that she experienced sex without consent, recalling a past boyfriend who ignored her pleas to him to stop his sexual advances.

“I was saying ‘No, stop’ and it was just completely ignored.”

Schumer also addressed society’s problem of blaming the victim, especially when it comes to rape.

“You know, with the rape survivor, it’s not just shaming, it’s fury. It makes people so mad if you’re not a perfect victim.”

Despite the horrible sexual encounters she’d suffered, Schumer says she also embraced herself as a sexual being while attending college in Baltimore County at Towson University, even if the empowerment didn’t always come with that particular decision.

“I decided I’m just going to f*** and not care. Sophomore year, I went from having had sex with two guys to, all of the sudden, you’re up to 10. It was a dark time. I didn’t like these guys. I wanted them to like me though.”

Amy Schumer is now in a committed relationship with furniture designer Ben Hanisch, whom she calls “the first guy who’s really been my boyfriend,” and is moving forward in her life with a load of new projects on her plate. Inside Amy Schumer was renewed for a fifth season and she’s got numerous film projects in the works, including a rare dramatic role in the upcoming PTSD drama, Thank You For Your Service, and is currently filming what should be an epic mother-daughter comedy with the great Goldie Hawn, whom Schumer was able to bring out of her semi-retirement for the project.
