The Life & Beth star, 42, was recently the subject of scrutiny on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) after a video in which she appeared to have a swollen face went viral.
“I have endometriosis an auto immune disease that every woman should read about,” she wrote alongside a poster for the new season of Life & Beth. “There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay.” While Schumer noted that “historically women’s bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men,” she added that women don’t need “any excuse for her physical appearance,” and advocated for “self love and acceptance in the skin you’re in.”
Schumer did not share specifically how her endometriosis has impacted how her face looks. However, it’s not uncommon for people dealing with the condition to experience swelling.
