AMY SCHUMER — ILLNESS

Amy  Schumer’s claim to fame is her appearance on NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2007. She created, co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in the Emmy-winning show Inside Amy Schumer and also appeared in the 2015 comedy film Trainwreck, which grossed over $140 million worldwide. Schumer landed The New York Times Best Seller list after publishing her book The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo. She was also the only female to have ever made Forbes’ list of the highest-paid comedians in 2016.

With a string of achievements and investments, the comedian also had her fair share of sad news. She recently revealed her diagnosis of Lyme disease, which led to her weight loss. The comedian has been candid about embracing her body through its changes, whether after childbirth or Lyme disease. Schumer shed light on the fact that weight changes can result from different things, including an illness.
