Amy Schumer reveals gory injury after suffering ‘freak accident’ while tending to pet fish

Detailed summary

The Emmy-nominated comedian joked via Instagram Stories on Wednesday that, “yes, [she] blames the fish” for her gruesome injury.

Amy Schumer got stitches after accidentally stabbing herself in the foot while tending to her new pet fish.

“Freak accident with these scissors,” the “Trainwreck” star captioned an Instagram Story video of herself getting stitched up on Tuesday, followed by a photo of broken kitchen scissors.

“Dangerous,” the actress dubbed the tool before posting a separate clip of a fish tank.

“Essentially, I was rushing in to open the bag of fishies,” the 45-year-old 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.”

In the social media upload, the comedian introduced viewers to the “latest members of the family.”

The “Last Comic Standing” alum, who did not provide further updates on her injury, hasn’t shied away from sharing her health struggles and doctor’s visits in the past.

The “I Feel Pretty” star openly admitted in May that she was “not feeling very sexual” after “a botched colonoscopy.”

Months before that confession, Schumer explained that her 50-pound weight loss helped manage her 2024 Cushing syndrome diagnosis.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Cushing’s syndrome is defined as “a disorder that occurs when your body makes too much of the hormone cortisol over a long period of time,” resulting in blood clots, heart attacks, infections, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and more symptoms.
