Amy Schumer says criticism of her rounder face led to diagnosis of Cushing syndrome
CBSN
Comedian and actress Amy Schumer received comments after several recent TV appearances from viewers who noticed her rounder-looking face. While some of the comments about her physical appearance seemed mean-spirited or unwarranted, Schumer said "thank God for that," because she realized something was wrong and got a diagnosis: Cushing syndrome.
After appearing on shows like "Watch What Happens Live" and "The Tonight Show" to promote her show "Life and Beth," Schumer took to Instagram to address the comments. "Binge both full seasons of @lifeandbethhulu and thank you so much for everyone's input about my face! I've enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years," she wrote, a hint of sarcasm in her post.
She said her face is puffier than normal, saying she has endometriosis and is going through "medical and hormonal things."
