“My Focus Has Been on Health”

Amy Schumer is starting fresh on social media.

Schumer took to Instagram on Wednesday afternoon to clarify why she deleted all photos on her account. “I didn’t delete my old photos because they were pre me losing weight, I’m proud of how I’ve looked always,” she wrote in part.

Schumer continued, “I have been working to be pain free and I finally am. My endometriosis is better. My back is healing. I no longer have Cushing syndrome so my face went back to normal. I am grateful to be strong and healthy especially for my son. But your Instagram is not your identity it’s a curation of what you want the world to see and I feel great strong and beautiful and it’s been fun sharing that. I didn’t purposely go on a ‘weight loss journey’ that’s a fine thing to go on. But my focus has been on health. I’m sure my weight will always fluctuate.”

On Thursday night, she announced she had wiped her Instagram by posting a carousel of four pictures, wearing a red mini dress and black pumps. She captioned the post: “Back on my staircase bullshit again … I actually left my house tonight. Who’s proud? I’m feeling good and happy. Deleted my old pics for no reason!”

The post showed the Kinda Pregnant star revealing a new look as a result of her weight loss medication. She has previously said that she took Ozempic initially and said the experience was “horrible” and “makes you extremely prone to nausea,” which caused her to be sick during her pregnancy. “I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was bedridden, I was vomiting, and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they’re all good, so I know God bless them,” she said on The Howard Stern Show in January.

Earlier this year, she revealed on Instagram (in a now-deleted post) that she started taking weight loss medication Wegovy and endured bad side effects. Her most recent medication has been Mounjaro, with which she’s had a “really good experience.”

The Trainwreck actress has previously been vocal about her weight. She opened up about having underwent liposuction. “It’s not about needing to be slamming, because I’ve never been famous for being hot, but I’d reached a place where I was tired of looking at myself in the mirror,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2022.

3:30 p.m. This story has been updated to include information from Schumer’s most recent Instagram post.
