Amy Schumer reveals real reason behind drastic weight loss

Amy Schumer pushed back against online chatter about her recent weight loss, saying she shed roughly 50 pounds not for vanity but to “survive” a serious health condition.

In an Instagram Reel posted on December 1, filmed by her son Gene, 6, whom she shares with husband Chris Fischer the 44-year-old comedian addressed speculation head-on.

In the video she went on to reveal the reasoning behind her drastic weightloss as well as clarified that she doesn't get Botox or filler, and said despite reports she didn't lose 30 lbs., she lost 50.

"Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary," she wrote. "I did it to survive," she stated.

The Kinda Pregnant actress went on to reference a disease that left her face unusually puffy and which “can kill you,” an apparent nod to her previously disclosed Cushing syndrome diagnosis. She added that the condition has now cleared.

"I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you, but the internet caught it, and the disease has cleared," she said.

"Sorry for whatever feeling it's giving you that I lost that weight," Schumer continued.  "Sorry to anyone that lets down." 

But most importantly, she celebrated the payoff, she’s “pain free” and can now “play tag” with Gene.
