Amy Schumer had a lot to talk about Tuesday night when she stopped by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." The actress and comedian opened up to the host about her most recent controversy with Glamour Magazine and her new boyfriend, Ben Hanisch.
Earlier this month, the "Trainwreck" star called out Glamour for including her in its special plus-sized issue without her permission. Schumer took to her Instagram to voice her disappointment with the magazine and said that it was not healthy for young girls to see her size six and eight body as plus-sized.
"For those of you who don't know who I am, I'm a famous plus-size model," Schumer told "The Tonight Show" audience when she sat down for her interview with Fallon.
"I love Glamour magazine, honestly. They've been so nice to me," she continued. "They've done so many great things for women. But what I learned is people really don't like being categorized by 'plus-size.' We don't need these labels. We don't need them. It should just say what size you are, right? Why?"
Since the issue of Glamour was published, Glamour's editor-in-chief Cindi Leive apologized to Schumer on her Twitter.
"We love Amy Schumer, & would never want to offend her. To be clear, @glamourmag special edition never called her plus-size...," Leive wrote.
"But women of all sizes can be inspired by one another's words. So sorry if implication was otherwise, Amy," she continued.
While on "The Tonight Show," Schumer also discussed her new boyfriend Hanisch and how nice his family is. Before getting together with Schumer, Hanisch had never dated a celebrity before, so the "Inside Amy Schumer" star was sure to warn his family about the press and how they would call and ask questions about their relationship.
"I told them, 'Look, journalists are going to call you, because it's what they do. And they're going to come to the house,'" the 34-year-old said. "And they did."
Schumer told the Hanisch family, and specifically her beau's mom, Deb, that if anyone did call to enquire about the relationship between the two, to simply say, "no comment."
"And she's like, 'Oh, I got it, Amy. Don't you worry. No comment. Not a problem,'" Schumer recalled to Fallon. "Not even 10 minutes later I get a Google alert from Time magazine that Deb was like, 'I've never heard of her before in my life!' Too far, Deb! Too far. You took it too far, Deb. She's so sweet."
