Amy Schumeris feeling herself — no filters necessary.

On Saturday, Jan. 25, the actress and comedian, 43, shared a “no filter” selfie on Instagram just a few days after revealing that people who trolled her appearance online had an unexpected outcome:her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, which she first revealed in February 2024.

Schumer shared the casual selfie, in which she showcased a soft smile while resting her hand on her head, on herInstagram Stories, where she revealed that she used “no filter." The star also shared the samephoto, in which she wears a simple charcoal gray sweatshirt, to the grid.

“What can I say,” she captioned the latter post, “It was a good night.”

The raw selfie comes three days after the comedian revealed in a podcast appearance thatshe wouldn’t have known she had Cushing syndrome if it weren’t for Internet trolls.

In the Jan. 22 episode ofCall Her Daddy, Schumer told hostAlex Cooperthat “a year ago, the Internet really came for me,” referring to commenterswho harshly criticized her face’s suddenly swollen appearance.

“At first,” Schumer said, she thought, “F— off,” but then realized that the online diagnosis may have some validity after all.

The star had been getting steroid injections to treat the scars that were left from her breast reduction and Cesarean section — she welcomed sonGene, 5, withhusband Chris Fischerin 2019 — and “it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard,” she explained.

Later in the discussion, Schumer explained that she “got rid” of her Cushing symptoms, but before she got in front of the cameras for her upcoming comedyKinda Pregnant, she was feeling vulnerable where her on-screen appearance was concerned.

“I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie,” she told theCall Her Daddyhost. “I was really having trouble figuring out how I was going to star in a movie while I had this going on.”

But, Schumer recalled, all it took was a friend — director Lorraine Caffery, to be exact — to get her back to the right headspace to tackle the role. “I just needed one person to just amp me up," she said.
