'Jeopardy!' champ Amy Schneider says she's 'fine' after being robbed
Reigning "Jeopardy!" champ Amy Schneider said Monday that she was recently robbed.
Schneider, who is making history as a transgender contestant on the quiz show, detailed her experience on Twitter, first telling her followers she was "fine."
"I got robbed yesterday, lost my ID, credit cards, and phone," she explained. "I then couldn't really sleep last night, and have been dragging myself around all day trying to replace everything."
In a follow-up tweet, Schneider said there may be a delay in her famous Twitter threads in which she provides fans with a deep dive of each episode she takes part in.
"Good Morning America" reached out to "Jeopardy!" regarding Schneider's tweet and was provided with the following statement: "We were deeply saddened to hear about this incident, and we reached out to Amy privately to offer our help in any capacity."
Schneider, whose run on "Jeopardy!" began Nov. 17, has won 24 games, making her the female contestant with the most consecutive wins.
On top of that, Schneider also has the highest winnings of regular-season play for a woman, having amassed $897,600 thus far.

She was mugged in Oakland on New Year’s Eve. Women need to be careful out there on the streets, especially at night. Have a man walk you to your car. Do the buddy system. Carry mace in your purse.

Do you think she was targeted because of her newfound fame and people knew she had money?

Haha, OP is the anti-Asian troll, constantly calling them “chinks” and “orientals”. Finally red-tagged after all these years of saying vile things, like how “orientals” are lower than dogs or that Tammy Duckworth needs to be deported back to her own country.

Bangladesh didn't seem too hard in final Jeopardy. I'm surprised Amy didn't get it.

Thanks to the poster who gave the subtle hint Amy lost. I taped the show and got to see her end. Bye Amy, very sweet but I’m glad you’re gone.

It sort of felt like Amy wanted to lose. She didn't seem to be into it. Oh well...nice run..

Well....Jennings can be confident that he's number one...though Amy still had a long way to go to unseat his position.
