Amy Schumer shares a “no filter” selfie after revealing her Cushing Syndrome diagnosis, embracing her natural beauty.
Amy Schumer has embraced her natural beauty after a recent Cushing Syndrome diagnosis, proudly sharing a bare-faced selfie with her followers. The 43-year-old actress and comedian, known for her bold sense of humour, posted the candid image on Instagram, showing her face with no filters, as she smiled softly and placed her hand on her head. In the caption, Schumer made it clear that the image was unfiltered, simply writing, “No filter, no filters.”
The post marks a vulnerable moment for the Trainwreck star, who had faced online backlash about her appearance in the past. Schumer used this moment to take ownership of her image and her health, after revealing that the internet trolls’ comments ultimately led to her diagnosis of Cushing syndrome—a rare condition caused by high cortisol levels in the body.

Her health struggles became clearer when she learned that the physical changes she had been experiencing, which had led to negative comments online, were due to Cushing syndrome.
Earlier, Schumer had first revealed her diagnosis publicly in February 2024, explaining that the condition had contributed to the changes in her appearance. This new “no filter” post is a part of her ongoing journey to embrace her body and face without the need for filters or validation from others.
In another follow-up post on her Instagram grid, Schumer shared another casual photo of herself, this time in a charcoal grey sweatshirt. She captioned the photo simply with, “What can I say, it was a good night,” further reflecting her positive and relaxed attitude amid the challenges she has faced.
Amy Schumer’s candid posts serve as a powerful reminder of embracing authenticity and prioritising mental and physical well-being over public scrutiny
