After filing for divorce from husband Chris Fischer on Sunday (January 4), actress and comedian Amy Schumer made headlines with her bikini pictures. The same day, she posted a series of images on Instagram, posing in swimwear and showcasing her slim figure.  

However, the photos were met with backlash from some netizens who slammed the I Feel Pretty actress. One user reshared Schumer’s bikini pictures on Facebook. 

Highlights
  • Schumer trolled herself by resharing coverage of her baggy street look, joking about “opting for comfort.”
  • Her response comes days after she faced backlash for posting bikini photos the same day she filed for divorce from Chris Fischer.
  • Schumer announced her separation from Fischer in December, with a source allegedly revealing the reason behind the split.

“Lose weight, immediately divorce your husband, and run to the internet in underwear pics,” they wrote. 

Negative reactions filled the comments section to the brim, but Schumer appears to be handling the backlash with a sense of humor, choosing to troll herself over her most recent public appearance.

    Shortly after filing for divorce, Schumer stepped out in New York City on Wednesday, opting for more casual attire as she chose not to flaunt her body. The 44-year-old sported a large black coat over a hoodie, black leggings, and black running shoes.

    Most negative comments about Schumer’s bikini pictures were targeted at her recent weight loss, with the actress confirming she had lost 50 lbs.

    In an Instagram story she shared in December 2025, Schumer revealed that her transformation was a result of an ongoing health battle. However, the Snatched star admitted that she had undergone plastic surgery in the past and used weight loss medication for her transformation.

    “I didn’t lose 30lbs, I lost 50. Not to look hot, which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive,” she wrote. 

    The actress revealed that her battle with a disease “that makes your face extremely puffy, that can k*ll you” triggered her transformation.

    In 2024, Schumer was reportedly diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a condition caused by excess cortisol in the body. Her story was most likely referencing the illness, which she confirmed had cleared up, and she was now healthy.

    However, just a few months later, in December, Schumer confirmed that she and Fischer, who tied the knot in 2018, were separating after almost seven years together.

    “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” Schumer said of the split in an Instagram post.

    A source close to the family revealed that the split allegedly resulted from Schumer’s focus on her career. The actress was last seen in Netflix’s 2025 comedy Kinda Pregnant, which she also co-wrote.

    The insider shared that Schumer didn’t go full throttle as she would have liked, following the birth of her and Fischer’s son, Gene, in 2019.  

    “With those career goals and her being a mother, she didn’t focus much on her marriage to make that succeed,” the person said.

    I knew a woman a long time ago who had a thyroid problem, was put on meds and lost a lot of weight. First thing she did was buy a bikini then she dumped her husband.
