Amy Schumer, known for her bold humor and unfiltered commentary, opened up about deeply personal topics during a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
The conversation ranged from her intimate experiences to her ongoing health challenges, revealing a vulnerable side of the comedian often hidden behind her wit.
Sexual Intimacy: Breaking the Silence
During the podcast, Schumer, 43, admitted to never experiencing an orgasm through penetration, a revelation she described as “scary to say out loud.”
She confessed it wasn’t until her 30s that she prioritized her own pleasure, adding, “I’ve had generous partners who understand that I need to orgasm first.”
Host Alex Cooper reassured Schumer, noting that her experience is common for many women.
Cooper also shared her own experiences, emphasizing the importance of communication and tools like vibrators to enhance intimacy.
Schumer went on to share a humorous yet surprising anecdote about a past hookup with an unnamed MLB player.
She recalled texting the athlete late at night, leading to what she called her “craziest fan interaction.”
While the encounter was brief and one-sided, she described the star as “pretty cool about it.”
Navigating Public Criticism of Her Appearance
Schumer also addressed the relentless scrutiny of her appearance, which intensified last February during her promotional tour for Life & Beth.
Social media erupted with speculation about her “puffy and swollen” face after her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Taking to Instagram, Schumer explained the changes were due to her battle with endometriosis and an autoimmune condition.
She acknowledged the societal pressures women face regarding their looks, stating, “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years.
But I feel strong, beautiful, and proud of the work I’ve done.”
She used the moment to advocate for self-love and greater awareness of women’s health issues, highlighting the lack of medical research historically dedicated to women’s bodies.
Coping with Online Backlash
The actress delved deeper into her struggles with public criticism during a separate interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.
Reflecting on the harsh commentary, Schumer remarked, “I think they’re mad that I’m not thinner, that I’m not prettier, and that I still feel like I have a right to speak.”
While acknowledging the emotional toll of online negativity, Schumer shared that the speculation surrounding her face led to an important medical discovery—she had Cushing Syndrome, a condition caused by prolonged high cortisol levels.
Focusing on What Matters
Despite the noise, Schumer remains focused on her career and personal growth.
She expressed pride in Life & Beth, the Hulu series she created, wrote, directed, and starred in.
She concluded with a message of resilience and solidarity, saying, “Some days I feel confident and good as hell, and others I want to put a bag over my head.
But I’ll keep showing up, creating, and speaking my truth.”
Through her candid discussions, Schumer continues to inspire conversations about self-acceptance, health awareness, and the importance of finding humor even in life’s challenges.
