Tisha Campbell says she would love to work with Amy Schumer as she 'understands the world of autism' 

Tisha Campbell is excited about the prospect of working with Amy Schumer.

Campbell penned a 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature exclusively for Us Weekly, where she opened up about whom she'd like to work with next:

“I want to work with Amy Schumer,” she said. “It’s her humor and comedy. I just feel like she’s a smart, funny woman.”

Tisha Campbell, 56, also said she relates to the comedian because both of them have family members on the autism spectrum. The former has two sons, Xen, 23, and Ezekiel, 15, with Duane Martin, her former spouse.

“[Amy] understands the world of autism. She talks about it in her comedy,” she shared. “I have a child on the spectrum. We’re both in comedy, and I can relate to her.”

The Martin alum made headlines just two weeks ago, when she got candid about going under the knife for a “mommy makeover.” The trending procedure sees women enhance their appearance to resemble what it once was, before pregnancy. These can include breast lift or augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction to buttock augmentation.

At this year's BET Awards, on the red carpet, she told Entertainment Tonight:

“I’m doing great. Yes. It’s snatched now, so that’s good. For those who don’t know, I recently got plastic surgery. You know, it was a mommy makeover. I had extra skin from the baby and a little bit of droppage here and a little droppage there and they tightened me together.”

Tisha Campbell continued,

"We should be feeling good about ourselves, you know? I'm a single mom, not ready for dating, but I just wanted to feel good for me. First of all, I'm an open book. Second, I just think it's more important to know why one does it."

When asked about how she was being transparent about the work done, she said:

"I think it's more important to be honest to know that I didn't get all this by myself. It's nice to be a little more snatched around that area for me. It's not for everybody, but it was for me."

The My Wife and Kids actress also revealed that her decision nudged some of her friends to get the procedure done as well.

“And so I happened to be working on the ‘Miss Pat Show’ with Taj [Tamara Johnson-George] and Lelee [Leanne Lyons] from SWV, and we got a chance to talk, and I convinced them to call the doctors, and they wanted mommy makeovers too and I just feel like, you know, we should be feeling good about ourselves.”

Tisha Campbell did acknowledge that her decision was done as a method of self-care, and not to fit into any standard:

”I just wanted to feel good for me and that’s what this was allowing me to have, you know, just to feel good about me and I wanted.”

Tisha Campbell showcased her hourglass figure at the event as she donned a bodycon snakeskin print leather dress. The dress featured a flared train for a dramatic look, and it had several belt buckle details. She left her cherry cola red tresses loose and paired the outfit with some oversized gold bangles on either hand.
