Amy Schumer shared a swimsuit selfie on Instagram, joking 'Thirsty enough for ya?' after announcing her breakup from husband Chris Fischer in December. The I Feel Pretty actress has been candid about her weight loss, which she attributed to a combination of factors including a hormonal condition called Cushing syndrome and plastic surgery. Schumer also tried medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro to aid her weight loss, though she said the side effects were difficult.

Why it matters

Schumer's openness about her weight loss journey and use of weight loss medications reflects a broader trend in Hollywood, with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan Trainor, and others also discussing their experiences with similar treatments. This highlights the growing acceptance and normalization of these types of medical interventions, as well as the continued scrutiny and pressure on celebrities' physical appearances.

The details

After being diagnosed with Cushing syndrome in 2024, Schumer said she lost 50 pounds, not the 30 pounds she had initially reported. She credited a combination of factors for her weight loss, including plastic surgery, the medication Mounjaro, and the type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic, though she said Ozempic had severe side effects that made it difficult for her to be an active parent to her son.

  • In December 2022, Schumer announced her split from husband Chris Fischer after seven years of marriage.
  • In a since-deleted December 2022 Instagram post, Schumer wrote that she 'didn't lose 30lbs, I lost 50' and did it 'to survive' her Cushing syndrome diagnosis.
  • In January 2025, Schumer discussed her difficult experience with Ozempic on The Howard Stern Show, saying it made her bedridden and unable to care for her son.
