I Tried to Help on a Flight — and Everything Went Terribly Wrong

Amy Schumer’s appearance has sparked intense debate in recent years. Sadly, the star has often faced harsh criticism from online haters, who pointed out the changes in her face caused by her illness. However, her recent photos have quieted even the harshest voices.
Over the weekend, Amy Schumer unveiled her latest transformation on Instagram, earning an outpouring of praise from her celebrity friends.
The comedian shared a photo on Saturday alongside her “lovies” — friends Alex Saks and Jillian Bell — dressed in a chic belted black Miu Miu minidress paired with open-toed heels.
The comments section quickly filled with excitement from fans and fellow stars alike. “I’m so pissed about your legs, I can barely talk to you. 😍,” joked comedian and actress Kathy Griffin. Admirers added, “Look amazing, Amy!” and “Your legs are ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️.”
Actresses Selma Blair and Isla Fisher also couldn’t help but gush over their colleague’s toned legs.
Amy Schumer had long been the target of harsh criticism and cruel remarks about her appearance. Ironically, though, it was those very comments that led her to discover she had Cushing’s syndrome.
The actress shared that she might not have discovered a serious health issue if it weren’t for people making mean comments online.
During an interview with Alex Cooper, Amy shared that people on the internet were suddenly criticizing her appearance — especially the way her face looked.
“A year ago, the Internet really came for me,” she said. At first, she brushed it off, “I was like, ‘Okay, everybody, like, relax.’”
But things got weird when doctors began joining in on the conversation — not to be rude, but to point out that something might actually be wrong, “Doctors were chiming in in the comments, and they were, like, ‘No, no ... something’s really up.’”
After seeing those comments, Amy decided to get checked out. That’s when she learned she had Cushing syndrome, a condition where your body has too much cortisol, a stress hormone. It’s often caused by long-term steroid use and can lead to symptoms like weight gain, acne, and a very puffy face, sometimes called “moon face.”
She found out about this right before filming her Netflix movie, Kinda Pregnant.
“I learned I had this condition, and that I had something called moon face, and I’m starring in a movie — and there’s a camera right in my face.”
Amy eventually realized the cause: she had been getting steroid injections to treat scars from her breast reduction surgery and C-section, “Wait, I have been getting steroid injections for my scars.”
Amy and her husband, Chris Fischer, welcomed their son Gene in 2019, and the injections were part of her recovery.
Thankfully, Amy says the condition cleared up on its own.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence’s latest appearance stirred up intense debate, with many people claiming that “she has a whole new face.”
