Amy Schumer responded to troll’s criticism of her performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The View on Instagram on Thursday.
To promote the second season of Life & Beth, the program that she wrote, directed, and starred in, Schumer made appearances on both talk shows. Several of Schumer’s admirers had concerns over her face, claiming it seemed puffier than usual, as online video of her interviews went viral.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face! 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. 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 continues, “Historically women’s bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men. The book “all in her head” does a good job explaining this. 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.”
“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,” Schumer concluded her post.
