‘Good morning trolls!’ Amy Schumer’s post DIVIDES opinion
Despite being a talented writer, actress and stand-up, Amy Schumer is forced to fend off hate from appearance-obsessed trolls on a daily basis, but it looks like she's refusing to let it get her down these days.
Having been inexplicably slammed after a candid snap of her in Hawaii surfaced online, Amy decided to hit back and remind the haters that they have no power over her.
In the post which has been liked a whopping 141,000 times since its upload yesterday, the 34-year-old actress began: "I meant to write "good morning trolls!"
"I hope you find some joy in your lives today in a human interaction and not just in writing unkind things to a stranger you've never met who triggers something in you that makes you feel powerless and alone," she continued.
Refusing to take their criticism lying down, the Trainwreck star finished: "This is how I look. I feel happy. I think I look strong and healthy and also like Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. Kisses!" (sic)
Despite the thousands of likes, not everyone has Amy's back, however, and some Instagram users called her out, with one writing: "Amy is pretty chubby, but some men like fat girls…plus she has money and money makes a person a lot more attractive."
"I think the thing people have an issue with is the message Amy sends to little girls when she lashes out at Glamour magazine for featuring her in their "plus-sized" edition…sends the wrong message and tells little girls to be ashamed of their bodies if they aren't stick figures," they continued.
"Also ironic that Amy will make comedic jokes about her weight/figure but get all upset at Glamour for featuring her in the plus-sized edition," they finished.
Hmmm, we doubt Amy will let that backlash go…
