Amy Schumer says the reason behind her weight loss is far more complicated than the internet assumes. In a now-deleted Instagram Reel, the comedian offered a candid look at the health struggles she claimed led to her dramatic change, while also clearing the air on rumors surrounding her personal life.
Amy Schumer shares why she lost so much weight in now-deleted reel
As per PEOPLE, in Amy Schumer’s since-deleted Instagram Reel from Monday, the 44-year-old comedian appeared relaxed in bed as her 6-year-old son, Gene, playfully filmed their home. That said, the lighthearted footage contrasted sharply with the serious message Schumer layered over it. She addressed ongoing comments about her appearance and stated that her noticeable weight loss, which she says totaled 50 pounds, was not about aesthetics but “to survive.”
Schumer wrote that she has been dealing with significant health issues, including what she has previously said was a diagnosis of Cushing syndrome. While she did not name the condition directly in this most recent post, she referenced a disease that she said caused severe facial swelling and could be life-threatening. Schumer stated that, in her case, the condition has “cleared.” She even credited early attention from online observers who had speculated about her swollen appearance earlier in the year.

Furthermore, the comedian pushed back on claims that her transformation was purely cosmetic. She acknowledged using Mounjaro and added that she’s been open about undergoing plastic surgery in the past, though she didn’t specify details. “Sorry to anyone that lets down,” she wrote, adding that she now feels “pain free” and capable of running around and playing with her son again.
Schumer has been equally transparent about navigating perimenopause and her ongoing battle with endometriosis. The “Snatched” actor has spoken about both conditions publicly in the past. She said she’s willing to answer questions from followers who are curious about the physical and emotional changes she’s experiencing during this stage of life.
Toward the end of her text, she also addressed speculation about her marriage to husband Chris Fischer. She noted that any challenges they are working through have “nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” referencing Fischer’s autism diagnosis.
