Amy Schumer is opening up about a recent health diagnosis after she was body-shamed for having an apparently "puffier" face.
On Friday's edition of Jessica Yellin's News Not Noise newsletter, Schumer revealed she has been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a hormonal imbalance that can create too much cortisol in the body, leading to weight gain, high blood pressure, and bone loss.
The revelation came just days after some fans questions and even made fun of Schumer for appearing to have a "puffier" face while promoting season 2 of her television show Life & Beth.
"While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up," Schumer said. "So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable."
