Comedian Amy Schumer has never been one to hold her tongue about any topic—particularly self-image and confidence.

In an October interview with Today, Schumer openly discussed her body-image issues.

“It’s been a struggle for me my whole life, especially just being in the entertainment industry, standing on a stage in front of people,” Schumer told Maria Shriver in 2015. She then bravely posed nearly-nude for the 2016 Pirelli calendar in November of the same year.

The journey to body acceptance is a common thread among the women of Hollywood.

So when Glamour released its “Chic At Any Size” edition—in collaboration with clothing company, Lane Bryant—and referred to Amy Schumer as plus-size, the “Trainwreck“ comedian was taken aback. Along with Schumer were plus-size Sports Illustrated model Ashley Graham, singer Adele, and fellow comedian Melissa McCarthy.  

In an Instagram post uploaded on April 5, Schumer called out the beauty magazine for its description.
