Amy Schumer is known for her witty and honest humor, and she did not disappoint her fans with her latest Instagram post. The 42-year-old comedian shared a series of before-and-after photos of herself, showing how much she has changed in the past decade.
The before photos were taken in 2012, when Schumer attended the Comedy Central Roast of Roseanne Barr. She looked stunning in a black mini dress and heels, with her blonde hair styled in waves. She captioned the photos, “Warning 20 somethings. I looked like this at your age.”
The after photo was a stark contrast to the glamorous shots. It showed Schumer in a hospital gown, hooked up to an IV, with her hair in a messy bun and a frown on her face. She wrote, “Life is coming for you.”
Schumer did not explain the context of the hospital photo
Schumer did not reveal when or why she was in the hospital, leaving her followers to wonder about the backstory. Some speculated that it could be related to her previous health issues, such as endometriosis, Lyme disease, or hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Schumer has been open about her struggles with these conditions in the past, and has documented her journey on social media and in her documentary series Expecting Amy. She gave birth to her son Gene in 2019, after undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
However, it is also possible that the hospital photo was just a joke, and that Schumer was not actually sick or injured. She is known for her prankster personality, and has often posted humorous photos of herself in various situations.
Schumer’s post received mixed reactions from celebrities and fans
Schumer’s post garnered over 1.6 million likes and thousands of comments from celebrities and fans. Some praised her for her honesty and humor, while others expressed concern for her well-being.
Olivia Wilde commented with a skull emoji, indicating that she found the post hilarious. Wanda Sykes, Viola Davis, and Michelle Pfeiffer also responded with laughing emojis. Amy Sedaris wrote, “Hahahhahahhahhahah,” while Camila Morrone quipped, ” [I’m] already at last slide.”
However, some fans were worried about Schumer’s health and asked her if she was okay. One fan wrote, “Are you okay? Sending love.” Another fan said, “I hope you are feeling better.” A third fan commented, “Please tell me you’re joking.”
Some fans also related to Schumer’s message about aging and shared their own experiences. One fan said, “I saw a picture of myself from 2005 the other day and I haven’t fully recovered. Life comes at ya fast.” Another fan said, “Truth is we didn’t appreciate our lovely selves when we had it goin on!!!” A third fan joked, “I would have taken nude photos, framed them and put them on the walls, sent them as Xmas cards.”
Schumer is not afraid to keep it real on social media
Schumer is no stranger to keeping it real on social media and showing her fans the unfiltered side of her life. She has often posted photos and videos of herself without makeup, wearing comfortable clothes, or doing everyday activities.
She has also been candid about her cosmetic procedures, such as getting lip fillers or liposuction. She has also revealed that she suffers from trichotillomania, a disorder that causes people to pull out their hair.
Schumer has said that she wants to be an example for other women who may feel insecure or pressured by unrealistic beauty standards. She has also said that she wants to open up conversations about topics that are often taboo or stigmatized.
Schumer’s latest post is another example of how she uses humor to cope with life’s challenges and to connect with her fans. Whether she was serious or joking about the hospital photo, she certainly made an impression with her before-and-after photos.
