Actress and director Amy Schumer has responded to online comments trolling about her appearance (her face).
Schumer was on US TV to talk about season two of Life & Beth, the series she writes directs, and stars in.
After the show, she received negative comments, bad jokes, and a few positive comments.
“I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance,” she said.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face! And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now. 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,” she continued.
A woman tweeted in support of Schumer’s condition, writing: “Endometriosis is no joke. I looked like I pumped my face full of filler. I was unrecognizable. My entire body was inflamed and swollen. I’m not a fan of Amy Schumer at all but can we please stop shaming women and their bodies.”
Another added: “Did you take a moment to ask yourself why you care what Amy Schumer’s face looks like before you posted about what Amy Schumer’s face looks like?”
Schumer had appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The View to promote her TV show.
“Like every other woman/person, some days I feel confident and good as hell and others I want to put a bag over my head,” she said.
“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.”
