Amy Schumer has finally addressed viewers' concerns about her "puffy" face when she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The View.
The comedian appeared on both talk shows to promote the second season of her show, Life & Beth, and while you would think viewers would be interested in the upcoming concept for the series, it seems as though they were focused on something else altogether: her face.
Have a look at a clip of Schumer's appearance on The Tonight Show:While some wondered whether the star had undergone surgery, others were concerned for her welfare.
"I'm going to need all surgeons and doctors to weigh in here. Serious question, what happened to Amy’s face? Is it normally this size?" wrote one person on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a clip of the star from Fallon's talk show.
"What did Amy Schumer do to her face? One might could at least give her she had a cute-ish kinda face before. She did something to her cheeks? Eyes?" another added.
"Damn Amy Schumer's face is HUGE. wtf when did she get like this? Lol. #TheView," a third stated.
However, others jumped in to defend the star.
"I can’t stand Amy Schumer but who the hell cares what’s going on with someone’s face? It’s nobody’s business," said this X-user.
"I know we all hate amy schumer because she sucks but idt it's right to make fun of her for her face for being swollen... she could be on medication, like steroids do that to your face, maybe she has lupus or something idk..." this person also pointed out.
Now the 42-year-old has taken to Instagram to put an end to all the rumors once and for all.
"...Binge both full seasons of @lifeandbethhulu and thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face," she started the lengthy promotional post. "I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years."
The star then went on to reveal that she's battling endometriosis right now, which is a disease that sees tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus and can cause women severe pain as well as complications with fertility.
"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 before adding: "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."
Schumer than re-directed the focus back to her show, stating that we should be focussing on women's achievements rather than their appearances.
"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," she stated. 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," she concluded.
Have a look at the full post below:Speaking of the disease previously the mom-of-one described endometriosis as the "pain you can't see" in the 2022 docuseries The Check Up with Dr. David Agus.
"You know, for months, I had been complaining of pain... it was just this pain you can’t see. There is the inclination to always think a woman is just being dramatic," she said.
"I’ve been in so much pain, you know, my whole life — not just the week of my period," the comedian, who underwent a hysterectomy - a surgical removal of her uterus - for the condition in 2021, added.
Let this be a lesson to all of those people who like to comment on people's appearances.

Amy Schumer has hit back at trolls who made fun of her "puffier" face during recent TV appearances.
The comedian and actress recently found herself making headlines after her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon sparked a wave of negative comments about her physical appearance.
Have a look at a clip of Schumer's appearance on The Tonight Show:Despite Schumer's appearance being intended to promote the new season of her series Life & Beth, online users seemed more fixated on her facial appearance, describing it as "puffier" and "swollen." In response to the ongoing chatter about her appearance, Schumer took to Instagram to address the issue head-on.
"Thank you so much for everyone's input about my face," Schumer sarcastically began her post, acknowledging the scrutiny surrounding her appearance. She candidly shared that her face appeared "puffier than normal," attributing the changes to her battle with endometriosis, a condition she has bravely spoken about in the past.
"I have endometriosis an autoimmune 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 said, before adding: "Historically women’s bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men."
"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," Schumer wrote, urging her followers to prioritize self-acceptance over societal beauty standards.
But after the scrutiny continued, the 42-year-old I Feel Pretty actress spoke further about the hurtful comments she often receives during her recent appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
"I think they're mad that I'm not thinner, I think they're mad I'm not prettier, and that I still feel like I have a right to speak," Schumer said of her critics - highlighting the pervasive misogyny underlying much of the scrutiny directed at her. "I think that they don't want any woman to speak - I mean, what woman has ever opened her mouth and not been torn to shreds?"
Although she admitted that she has been able to develop a "thick skin" over years of being in the public eye, Schumer emphasized the toll that incessant online criticism can take on one's mental well-being - adding that she finds it hard to ignore those who "feel very comfortable s***ing on her".
Schumer acknowledged the difficulty of remaining resilient in the face of relentless criticism. "I could focus on that and it doesn't feel good when the whole internet's mad at you," Schumer admitted, underscoring the importance of empathy and kindness in online interactions.

Amy Schumer has been diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome following online trolling about her face.
Schumer found herself enduring a flurry of negative remarks about her physical appearance following her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Despite the intent of her appearance being to promote a new season of her series Life & Beth, attention quickly turned to comments about her facial features, with some online users describing it as "puffier" and "swollen".
Although some of the comments were meant in a hateful manner, it appeared to spark Schumer to seek medical advice, and she has since been diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome.
Cushing syndrome is a condition characterized by an excess of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, circulating in the body for an extended period. Symptoms may include weight gain, hypertension, and bone density loss, as noted by the Mayo Clinic. Treatment options can range from medication to radiation therapy or surgery.
The 44-year-old shared her diagnosis in Jessica Yellin's News Not Noise newsletter, following inquiries from fans regarding her altered appearance. She expressed relief at finally understanding the cause behind her physical changes, describing the revelation as a rejuvenating experience.
"While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up. So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable," Schumer revealed.
"Having the internet chime in helped me know something was wrong," she added.
Reflecting on the tumultuous weeks since her diagnosis, Schumer acknowledged the challenges she faced, both regarding her health concerns and the scrutiny of her appearance.
"Aside from fears about my health, I also had to be on camera having the internet chime in. But thank God for that. Because that's how I realized something was wrong," she shared.
When questioned about her decision to share such personal medical information, Schumer expressed her desire to advocate for women's health.
"The shaming and criticism of our ever-changing bodies is something I have dealt with and witnessed for a long time," Schumer stated. "I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn't believe them."
She urged for empathy and understanding, highlighting the unpredictability of people's struggles. "Everyone is struggling with something," Schumer noted. "Maybe we can all be a little kinder to each other and ourselves."
It just goes to show that you never know what somebody is going through, and we wish Schumer the very best with her ongoing health journey.

Amy Schumer has candidly opened up about the reason for her weight loss after cruel trolls targeted her appearance.
The comedian and actress, 44, has kept her fans updated throughout her health journey, having lost 50lb.
However, she revealed that the reason for her weight loss was not purely cosmetic - it was to help her "survive" a disease she discovered she had after getting comments about her "puffy" face.
Schumer shared a video taken by her six-year-old son, Gene, which she'd overlaid with information about her condition.
She wrote: "Bedroom tour by Gene. I never ever wear jewelry. I don't get Botox or filler. I didn't lose 30lbs I lost 50.
"Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive.
"I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you, but the internet caught it, and the disease has cleared."
Schumer appeared to be referring to her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, which is a condition caused by the body having too much cortisol, the primary stress hormone, per the Mayo Clinic.
The condition can cause weight gain in the trunk as well as the face, high blood pressure, and increased stretch marks, as well as skin that bruises more easily.
She added: "Sorry for whatever feeling it's giving you that I lost that weight. I've had plastic surgery over the years and I use Mounjaro.
"Sorry to anyone that lets down. I am pain free and can [play] tag with my son."
She also addressed being in perimenopause as well as the rumors about her marriage to her husband, Chris Fischer, who was diagnosed with autism, adding: "Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism. Fingers crossed we can make it through, he's the best."
A source told People before the couple ultimately ended their relationship: "They’re privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have. They are both committed to the relationship."
Schumer had spoken out about being diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome - which some have linked to steroid injections - saying on the Call Her Daddy podcast: "So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn't have known if the internet hadn't come for me so hard."

Amy Schumer has provided an update on her health after she deleted all of her photos on social media and was trolled for having a ‘moon face’.
The 44-year-old star has been honest about her health struggles before now, and opened up on a podcast about the decision to erase her previous pics.
The comedian and actor has spoken in the past about her diagnosis with Cushing syndrome, a condition that develops from high-level exposure to stress hormone cortisol, as well as other health complications.
In an Instagram video explaining a little about her condition, Schumer said: "I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn't believe them.”
The symptoms of Cushing syndrome include easily-bruising skin, carrying fat on the neck and shoulders more than usual, and - in Schumer’s case - a round face.

The condition has previously been linked to steroid injections, which Schumer has had after treatment to help with breast reduction and C-section surgery scarring.
On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Schumer explained how she came to develop the condition.
She said: "So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn't have known if the internet hadn't come for me so hard."
Schumer was accused of deleting all of her social media photos ‘for no reason’ but clearly rejects that notion.
It had been suggested that the reason she deleted them could have been because she has since lost a lot of weight, but Schumer was quick to set the record straight.
She wrote: "Hey media outlets, I didn’t delete my old photos because they were pre me losing weight.
“That’s a narrative you created. I’m proud of how I’ve looked always.
“I have been working to be pain free and I finally am.
"My endometriosis is better. My back is healing. I no longer have Cushing syndrome so my face went back to normal.
“I am grateful to be strong and healthy especially for my son.”

She continued: "But your Instagram is not your identity it’s a curation of what you want the world to see and I feel great strong and beautiful and it’s been fun sharing that. I didn’t purposely go on a 'weight loss journey' that’s a fine thing to go on.
"My focus has been on health. I’m sure my weight will always fluctuate. I’m a perimenopausal woman on HRT meds."
Schumer concluded: “Wishing you strength and self love on whatever path you’re on as long as it’s kind and respectful to all people.
“No matter their weight race or religion peace!"
She then shared another picture on her updated Instagram profile on November 12, marking the start of a new era.
