Amy Schumer is opening up about her health after people had a lot to say about her face.
Over the last several days, Schumer has been on a press tour promoting the second season of her show Life & Beth. During her on-camera interviews, people were taken aback by Schumer’s appearance.
And unfortunately, people weren’t shy about making public comments about the change in her appearance either.
Eventually, the noise got back to Schumer and she felt the need to address the negativity in an Instagram post.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face,” Schumer began. “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years.”
However, while the feedback has been unnecessary and unwanted, Schumer admits, “You’re right it is puffier than normal right now,” before explaining what she has been dealing with behind closed doors.
“I have endometriosis an auto immune disease that every woman should read about. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay.”
Schumer continued, writing, “Historically women’s bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men. The book ‘All in Her Head’ does a good job explaining this.”
And while Schumer doesn’t believe she or any woman should have to have an explanation or “excuse for her physical appearance,” she wanted to use this moment to “advocate for self love and acceptance of the skin you’re in.”
“Like every other women/person some days I feel confident and good as hell and others I want to put a bag over my head. But I feel strong and beautiful and so proud of this tv show I created. Wrote. Starred in and directed. Maybe just maybe we can focus on that for a little. I had backup dancers on Fallon but my face is the headline hahaha anyway I hope you enjoy life and Beth. Love and solidarity. Amy.”
Amy’s message was applauded by several of her followers.
