Amy Schumer claims online trolls are ‘mad’ she’s not ‘thinner’ and ‘prettier’ after cruel comments about her ‘puffy’ face

Amy Schumer says she feels like her online critics are upset that she’s not “slimmer” and “prettier” while discussing online trolling on Tuesday.

The Emmy-winning actress, 42, appeared on the podcast. Not skinny but not fatwhere she said she felt especially attacked by trolls because of her appearance.

“I think they’re mad that I’m not thinner, I think they’re mad that I’m not prettier,” the New York City native said, “and that I still feel like I have a right to speak.”

The Life & Beth star, who spoke in detail earlier this month about her battle with endometriosis amid speculation that her face appeared “puffy,” said the hostility she has faced online is linked to misogyny.

“I don’t think they want any women to talk. I mean, what woman has ever opened her mouth and not been torn to pieces?” Schumer said.

The Trainwreck star said that people online have proven to be “very comfortable fucking her” as “there’s a lot of passion for her.”

“I could focus on that and it doesn’t feel good when the entire Internet is mad at you,” Schumer said. “Don’t get me wrong: I don’t feel good and I don’t wish it on anyone who doesn’t deserve it.”

The author of The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, when asked if her skin had become “thick” after being in the spotlight for more than a decade, said she was used to being the target of the trolls.

“People have been coming to me for a long time,” said Schumer, who shares her son Gene, 4, with her spouse Chris Fischer, 44.

Last week, Schumer addressed online speculation about her appearance after she made promotional appearances on Good Morning America and The Tonight Show for the second season of her Hulu series Life & Beth.

In a Feb. 15 Instagram post, Schumer told her 13 million followers that she was battling endometriosis, an autoimmune disease, which caused some bloating.

‘Thank you so much for everyone’s comments about my face!’ she said. ‘I have enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right, right now it’s more swollen than normal.

‘I have endometriosis, an autoimmune disease that every woman should read about. There’s some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now, but I’m fine.’

Schumer said she believed that “a woman needs no excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation,” but responded to speculation “to advocate for self-love and acceptance of the skin you’re in.”

Schumer continued: ‘Like any other woman/person, some days I feel confident and great and other days I want to put a bag over my head. But I feel strong, beautiful and very proud of this television show I created. She wrote. Starring and directed.’

Schumer noted that “historically, women’s bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men’s,” and noted that author Elizabeth Comen’s new book All in Her Head “does a good job of explaining this.”

According to a description of The Mayo ClinicEndometriosis’ is an often painful condition in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
