What Was Amy Schumer Doing?

As Page Six reports, the 45-year-old Trainwreck actress was taking care of her new pet fish when the scissors went into her foot. She shared a video of herself getting stitches on Instagram Stories, followed by a picture of the broken kitchen utensil. 

"Freak accident with these scissors," Schumer wrote in the caption of the video. The image of the scissors was captioned with one word: "Dangerous."

In another clip, she showed a picture of a fish tank. 

"Essentially, I was rushing in to open the bag of fishies," she explained. "And half the kitchen scissors fell off and landed at an upward angle just as I was stepping down and it stabbed my ankle."

Schumer then added, "Yes, I blame the fish."

She also introduced fans to the "latest members of the family."

"This is Floppy, this is Flippy and this is Goldy," Schumer said.

The Comedian Announced Her Separation From Her Husband Last Year

Schumer announced in 2024 that she lost 50 pounds, which helped her manage her Cushing syndrome diagnosis. 

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the condition is a rare hormonal disorder caused by having too much cortisol in the body for a long period of time. 

"Sorry for whatever feeling it's giving you that I lost that weight," she said in an Instagram video. "I've had plastic surgery over the years, and I use Mounjaro. Sorry to anyone who feels let down. I'm pain-free. I can [play] tag with my son."

Schumer said the weight loss had nothing to do with her separation from her husband, 46-year-old chef Chris Fischer. The couple were married for seven years and co-parent their son, Gene. The divorce was finalized on Oct. 26.

"We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son," Schumer said last year. "We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time."
