Comedian Amy Schumer addressed criticisms of her facial appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The View through an Instagram post on Thursday.
Schumer, who was promoting the second season of her self-created series, Life & Beth, acknowledged the concerns raised by some fans who believed her face looked swollen in the interviews. In her Instagram post, Schumer wrote, “Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face!”
She continued, “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.”
She candidly attributed the puffiness to her battle with endometriosis, an autoimmune disease that she encouraged all women to educate themselves about.
Highlighting the historical underrepresentation and limited research on women’s bodies, Schumer recommended the book All in Her Head by Elizabeth Comen as a resource for further understanding.
