Amy Schumer has revealed an awkward evening she had with a sports star inspired a scene in Trainwreck.
While the comedian didn’t name the athlete, just that he was a baseball player, you’ve got to feel bad for him – I mean, imagine an intimate moment you had was so uncomfortable that it featured in a comedy!

The 43-year-old has been spilling all the tea while appearing as a guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast, having also explained why her face has been puffier in recent years – we’ll get to that later.
But first, let’s hear about Schumer’s NSFW sex confession.
“What is the craziest fan interaction you’ve ever had?” asked host Alex Cooper.
Schumer replied: “I guess, them eating me out? Right? I mean that’s crazy that.”
Cooper laughed: “That would definitely top the chart!”
Schumer then explained how it happened when when she was was at her ‘peak’, while she was ‘touring arenas’.
“Were they a professional athlete? Sure,” Schumer said.
“Did I text them late at night and they came over, went down on me, and then I said, ‘I’m so tired, I’m so sorry’ and they left? Yes.”
Then looking directly at the camera, she added: “And you know who you are.”

Unfortunately, the baseball star – who she’d met at one of her shows, was asked to leave as she yawned following the act claiming that she was tired.
Schumer confessed that he was ‘pretty cool’ about the ordeal, but it inspired a scene in her 2015 comedy Trainwreck.
“I mean, that’s a moment in Trainwreck and that’s from real life,” she added.
While appearing on the show she also revealed how being trolled over her changing appearance actually led to her discovering she had developed a rare condition called Cushing syndrome.
She explained how she was recently hounded with comments about her ‘puffier face’, leading to her to seek professional advice.

While at the time she admitted that she was dismissive of the comments, and chalked it down to petty online hate, she soon took notice that she was in fact ‘puffier than normal right now’.
Schumer admitted that at first, she shared that ‘a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation’ for her changing face.
Speaking on the podcast, Schumer said: “I was like, ‘OK, everybody, like, relax’.”
Then physicians began to comment on her face.
Schumer continued: “Doctors were chiming in in the comments and they were, like, ‘No, no … something’s really up. Your face looks so crazy.’“
The actress said doctors thought she might have Cushing syndrome, which gives the appearance of a ‘moon face’.

Amy Schumer received a shock diagnosis after being trolled for her appearance, and her condition was caused by something you may not have heard of.
The Trainwreck actress was recently hounded with comments about her ‘puffier face’, leading to her to seek professional advice.
While at the time she admitted that she was dismissive of the comments, and chalked it down to petty online hate, she soon took notice that she was in fact ‘puffier than normal right now’.

Then physicians began to comment on her face.
Schumer said: “Doctors were chiming in in the comments and they were, like, ‘No, no … something’s really up. Your face looks so crazy.’“
The actress said doctors thought she might have Cushing syndrome, which gives the appearance of a ‘moon face’.
“At first, I was like, ‘F**k off,’” Schumer said, until she realized, ‘wait, I have been getting steroid injections for my scars’ from her breast reduction and Cesarean section.
She added: “So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard.”
What is Cushing Syndrome?
As per Mayo Clinic, Cushing Syndrome ‘happens when the body has too much of the hormone cortisol for a long time’.
The website adds: “This can result from the body making too much cortisol, or from taking medicines called glucocorticoids, which affect the body the same way as cortisol.”
Symptoms of the illness includes slow wound healing; acne; weight gain in the face; weight gain around the trunk of the body; and skin that bruises easily.

The illness affects around 13 per million people annually, as per the National Organization of Rare Diseases (NORD).
The star may have developed it due to her steroid injections.
Schumer went on to share: “So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard.”
Thankfully, she went on to admit that she ‘got rid’ of the condition, and that ‘it just has to work itself out’.
The comic told Cooper that before she filmed Kinda Pregnant, which comes out next month: “I learned I had this condition, and that I had something called moon face, and I’m starring in a movie — and there’s a camera right in my face.”
“Everyone’s like, ‘You look great,’” she said.
But then one friend said to her: “Your face is looking, like, a little bit insane.”
Because of her syndrome, and starring in a film, she was feeling ‘down’ and explained: “I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie … I was, like, really having trouble figuring out how I was going to star in a movie while I had this going on.”
Mayo Clinic says that people can treat the health issue by reducing glucocorticoid use; having a tumor removed if that’s the cause; having radiation therapy; or by taking medications that control cortisol production.

Amy Schumer has, in a roundabout way, thanked the internet for their trolling about her appearance.
Last year, the Trainwreck actress was faced with a barrage of comments about her ‘puffier face’.
Responding to the remarks at the time, Schumer argued that ‘a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation’.
She did note, however, that she was ‘puffier than normal right now’.
But Schumer was later diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome — something that might not have happened if people hadn’t expressed concerns about her face.
As per Mayo Clinic, Cushing Syndrome ‘happens when the body has too much of the hormone cortisol for a long time’.
The website goes on: “This can result from the body making too much cortisol, or from taking medicines called glucocorticoids, which affect the body the same way as cortisol.”
Symptoms include slow wound healing; acne; weight gain in the face (sometimes referred to as ‘moon face’); weight gain around the trunk of the body; and skin that bruises easily.

The illness affects approximately 13 per million people annually, and typically occurs in people aged 25 to 40, as per the National Organization of Rare Diseases (NORD).
What caused Amy Schumer to get the condition?
Some have linked steroid injections to people developing Cushing Syndrome, something which Schumer revealed she’d been having.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Schumer said of people’s remarks: “At first, I was like, ‘F**k off’.”
But then she realized that some comments were from doctors.
She said: “I’m like, ‘Wait, I’m getting trolled by doctors?'”
She realised comments about steroid injections and Cushing Syndrome could be relevant to her as she’d been getting the treatment to help with her breast reduction and C-section scars.

Schumer went on to share: “So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard.”
Does she still have Cushing Syndrome?
Schumer said that she’s ‘got rid’ of the condition, adding that ‘it just has to work itself out’.
While it seems as if the Life of Beth star didn’t need any treatment for her Cushing Syndrome, there are several available options.
Mayo Clinic says that people can treat the health issue by reducing glucocorticoid use; having a tumor removed if that’s the cause; having radiation therapy; or by taking medications that control cortisol production.

Amy Schumer has revealed that she’s been diagnosed with an extremely rare condition.
The Trainwreck and Life & Beth star has recently had to respond to people’s unkind comments about her ‘puffier’ face.
Schumer recently featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote the second series of Life & Beth, where people raised questions about her appearance.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face,” she penned on Instagram earlier this month.
“I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now.”
She went on to explain that she had some ‘medical and hormonal’ things which may have affected how she looks at the moment, adding that she is ‘okay’.
Further details of her condition have since been revealed, and it’s said that the 42-year-old has Cushing Syndrome.
The illness affects approximately 13 per million people annually, and typically occurs in people aged 25 to 40, as per the National Organization of Rare Diseases (NORD).

It defines the illness as ‘a rare endocrine disorder, characterized by a variety of symptoms and physical abnormalities that occur as a result of excessive amounts of the hormone cortisol, a vital glucocorticoid’.
Some symptoms include weight gain in the face, bone pain, frail skin that bruises easily, and acne.
It’s believed that her Cushing Syndrome was brought on by getting steroid injections in high doses.
Speaking to Jessica Yellin for her News Not Noise newsletter, Schumer was asked how she’s feeling in light of her diagnosis.
“I feel reborn,” said Schumer. “There are a few types of Cushing. Some that can be fatal, require brain surgery or removal of adrenal glands.
“While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up.
“So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I’m healthy was the greatest news imaginable. It has been a crazy couple weeks for me and my family.”
While the comments she received about her appearance weren’t particularly nice, the comedian admitted that it’s how she realized that something was wrong.
As to why she’s decided to publicly share her diagnosis, Schumer said she wants to ‘advocate for women’s health’.
“I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn’t believe them,” said the I Feel Pretty star.
“[…] I am extremely privileged to have the resources I have for my health and I know it’s not that way for most people. I am grateful and want to use my voice to continue to fight for women.”

Amy Schumer was forced to change her son’s name after realizing it sounded like ‘genital’
Comedian Amy Schumer realised her son’s name sounded like something rather rude
Choosing what to name your child is not an easy task – something Amy Schumer learned the hard way.
The comedian and actor is mom to five-year-old son Gene, whom she shares with her husband Chris Fischer.
The Life & Beth star has been very candid about motherhood over the years, including how she found pregnancy difficult.
Schumer, 43, also described her C-section as ‘terrifying’.
“I was throwing up through the first hour of my C-section,” she previously shared on the Informed Pregnancy and Parenting Podcast.
“It’s supposed to take about an hour and a half – mine took over three hours because of my endometriosis, and that was really scary.”
Elsewhere, Schumer has discussed her son’s chosen name.
Gene was born with a different middle name to what he has now, with the I Feel Pretty actress opting to change it when the youngster was 11 months old.
The reason she changed it was because Gene’s first and second names put together sounded rather unfortunate…

The five-year-old was first called Gene Attell Fischer, but Schumer realised what it sounded like ‘genital’.
Speaking on the Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith podcast at the time of their decision to change Gene’s name, the 43-year-old mom explained: “So do you guys know that Gene, our baby’s name is officially changed? It’s now Gene David Fischer.
“It was Gene Attell Fischer, but we realized that we by accident named our son ‘genital’.”
Schumer chose the name Attell after her close pal Dave Attell, but swapped Gene’s middle name to David instead so that it was still paying homage to her friend without the rude connotations.
The comic added that the new moniker hit ‘two stones’ as her father’s middle name is also David.

Another aspect of motherhood that Schumer has been candid about is how using Ozempic stopped her from being able to play with her son.
Speaking on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last year, the comic said of her experience with Ozempic: “I was one of the people that felt like so sick and like couldn’t like play with my son. I was so skinny.”
Schumer said that her son Gene would be ‘throwing a ball’ at her and she couldn’t even engage.
The mom-of-one went on to say that the side effects she had while using Ozempic weren’t ‘liveable’ for her, so she stopped.
