Amy Schumer DGAF That She Doesn't Look Like A Lingerie Model

Amy Schumer has faced a few critics in recent weeks following the casting news that she will play Barbie in a new movie.

But she has proved she does not care what people think about her body – and is sharing her upbeat approach with fans.

 

Too blessed to be stressed

The 35-year-old comedy star made a body positive statement on Instagram on Monday.

Posing with the photo of an underwear model, Amy wrote: “To blessed to be stressed” while posing in a beany hat and sunglasses.

Earlier in December, Amy was the victim of cruel trolls who targeted her over the news she would be playing Barbie in a live action film about the iconic doll – with filming due to begin next year.

 

Very very honored to be nominated for 2 Grammys and to be considered to play an important and evolving icon. Is it fat shaming if you know you're not fat and have zero shame in your game? I don't think so. I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love. Where's the shame? It's not there. It's an illusion. When I look in the mirror I know who I am. Im a great friend, sister, daughter and girlfriend. I'm a badass comic headlining arenas all over the world and making tv and movies and writing books where I lay it all out there and I'm fearless like you can be. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support and again my deepest sympathy goes out to the trolls who are in more pain than we will ever understand. I want to thank them for making it so evident that I am a great choice. It's that kind of response that let's you know something's wrong with our culture and we all need to work together to change it. Anyone who has ever been bullied or felt bad about yourself I am out there fighting for you, for us. And I want you to fight for yourself too! We need to laugh at the haters and sympathize with them. They can scream as loud as they want. We can't hear them because we are getting shit done. I am proud to lead by example. "I say if I'm beautiful, I say if I'm strong. You will not determine my story. I will" #thegirlwiththelowerbacktattoo

Hitting back on social media at the time, she wrote: “Anyone who has ever been bullied or felt bad about yourself I am out there fighting for you, for us. And I want you to fight for yourself too! We need to laugh at the haters and sympathize with them.”

Amy is a modern icon we are willing to follow into 2017 – and Beyond.
