Amy Schumer addresses criticism regarding changes in her appearance to her face
Amy Schumer is being open about her new appearance.
The comedian discussed the criticism of her looks after her recent appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The View.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face!” she wrote on Instagram Feb. 15. “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now.”
Schumer attributed the changes to her ongoing battle with endometriosis, an autoimmune disease in which the uterus lining grows outside of the organ.
“There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay,” the 42-year-old continued. “I also believe a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation. But I wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self love and acceptance of the skin you’re in.”
