Update: Maybe I read this wrong, but I think Amy is saying "this is not right" in terms of what he supposedly said and not putting his image up:

I really don't know how to phrase the title, so I just used the one from the article.

tl;dr
Dude sees Amy, wants to take a pic and Amy flips her shit in response, puts him on blast for social media to tear into him, and he responds with his account with the above video of him apologizing and not being aggressive in it.

Edit: I should iterate, for whatever it's worth, that I know of this guy through my group of friends, and he'd never do this sort of thing. Just an odd situation all around.
After receiving supportive comments from followers, Schumer clarified hours later that she would still take pictures "with nice people when I choose to."
In a tweet, Schumer thanked her fans — "Thanks for the kind words and support. I know there are bigger problems in the world. But this was not right" — and clarified her earlier decision regarding photos: "I'll still take pictures with nice people when I choose to if it's a good time for that. But I don't owe you anything. So don't take it if I say no."

While in the Upstate for a comedy show, Amy Schumer said an incident with a stranger has changed her policy on fan photos. The Greenville man said her fans aren't getting the full story, though.
On Saturday afternoon, Schumer posted an Instagram photo of a man on what appeared to be North Main Street in Greenville.
The comedienne said he approached her and shoved a camera in her face. When she asked him to stop, Schumer said the man told her, "no it's America and we paid for you."
Below is Schumer's full post:
This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the ---- out of me. Put a camera in my face. I asked him to stop and he said " no it's America and we paid for you" this was in front of his daughter. I was saying stop and no. Great message to your kid. Yes legally you are allowed to take a picture of me. But I was asking you to stop and saying no. I will not take picture with people anymore and it's because of this dude in Greenville.
Leslie Brewer reached out to FOX Carolina saying he is the man in the photo and said Schumer's post is not an accurate account of what happened.
Brewer said he was walking down the street when several other pedestrians started shouting that they spotted the celebrity at a stoplight. He said he pulled out his camera to Instagram it, but stopped recording when she asked.
Brewer said he was upset when Schumer brought his daughter into the conversation and the two had a disagreement about him recording the video. He said Schumer began walking away but then turned around and came back, telling him she was going to take his picture and share it with her four million followers.
