Amy Schumer claims online trolls are 'crazy' she's not 'thinner' and 'prettier' after cruel comments about her 'swollen' face

Amy Schumer says she feels like her online critics are angry because she isn't “thinner” and “prettier” as she sits in a discussion about online trolls on Tuesday.

The Emmy-winning actress, 42, appeared on the podcast Not skinny but not fatwhere she said she especially felt attacked by trolls because of her appearance.

“I think they're mad that I'm not thinner, I think they're mad that I'm not prettier,” the New York City native said, “and that I still feel like I have a right to speak .'

The Life & Beth star — who opened up in detail about her battle with endometriosis earlier this month amid speculation about her face looking “swollen” — said the hostility she faces online is linked to misogyny.

“I guess they don't want a woman to say anything – I mean, what woman has ever opened her mouth without being torn to shreds?” Schumer said.

The Trainwreck star said people have shown online that they “feel comfortable singing” because “there's a lot of passion for her.”

“I could focus on that and it doesn't feel good when the whole internet is mad at you,” Schumer said. “Don't get me wrong: it doesn't feel good and I wouldn't wish that on anyone who doesn't deserve it.”

The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo author, asked if she has grown a “thick skin” after more than a decade in the spotlight, said she is used to being the target of trolls.

“It's been a long time since people came for me,” says Schumer, who shares son Gene, four, with husband Chris Fischer, 44.

Schumer addressed online speculation about her appearance last week after making promotional appearances on Good Morning America and The Tonight Show for the second season of her Hulu series Life & Beth.

In a Feb. 15 Instagram post, Schumer told her 13 million followers that she was battling the autoimmune disease endometriosis, which caused some swelling.

“Thank you so much for everyone's input on my face!” she said. 'I have enjoyed feedback and consultation about my appearance, as all women have for almost twenty years. And you're right, it's thicker than normal now.

'I have endometriosis, an autoimmune disease that every woman should read about. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now, but I'm doing well.”

Schumer said she believed that “a woman does not need any excuses for her physical appearance and is not owed any explanations,” but she responded to the speculation “to advocate for self-love and acceptance of the skin you are in.”

Schumer continued, “Just like any other woman/person, some days I feel confident and good, and other days I want to put a bag over my head. But I feel strong and beautiful and so proud of this TV show that I created. Wrote. Starring and directed.'

Schumer noted that “historically, women's bodies have hardly been medically examined compared to men,” noting that author Elizabeth Comen's new book All in Her Head “explains this well.”

According to a description of The Mayo ClinicEndometriosis is an often painful condition in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

'It often affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining the pelvis. In rare cases, endometriotic growths may be found outside the area where the pelvic organs are located.'

Pain associated with the condition may increase “during menstruation” and “fertility problems may also develop,” according to the clinic.
