I was wrong about Blockers, which was great! "In the scene after the head injury, the assumption is that the woman I see when I look in the mirror is skinny, but I'm just seeing my same self and perceiving my body as attractive", Schumer continued.

Amy Schumer wants people to know that the backlash her new movie has been receiving over its message on body image completely misses the point of the film. Yet, according to an interview Schumer did with Vulture, that is not the actual movie.

There's been a lot of projection. In the scene after the head injury, the assumption is that the woman I see when I look in the mirror is skinny, but I'm just seeing my same self and perceiving my body as handsome. But first off, it's not about an ugly troll becoming handsome, it's about a woman who has low self-esteem finding some. We all struggle with self-esteem. "I think men are so happy to have a naked woman in front of them that they're not going to say, "Oh, you have a bit of cellulite" and call an Uber", she jokes. Her husband, on the other hand, was convicted and rightfully sent to jail. She just says that she's amazed by her jawline, and her boobs, and her ass. "Every year I get more and more comfortable in my own skin - even if there's more of it now".

Amy Schumer has been linked to an upcoming drama about female boxing icon Christy Martin, a woman who long proceeded Ronda Rousey as a pioneer for female fighters.

"I exercise, I eat well, I just don't starve myself", she says, admitting she also goes through phases where she doesn't exactly feel her most glamorous. Still, just like Blockers, if the movie ends up being truly hilarious and also super thoughtful at the same time that'll be a win for everyone.

However, there are some viewers who have come out to say that the movie promotes body shaming.

In actuality, I Feel Pretty has strong messaging surrounding body positivity and self confidence.
