At the 2015 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, actress and comedian Amy Schumer accepted the Trailblazer Award with a sidesplitting and blunt speech, detailing beauty magazines and her own weight.
"I'm probably like 160 pounds right now, and I can catch a d-ck whenever I want," Schumer quickly joked during her acceptance speech. The initial comment about the Comedy Central star's weight led to inspiring stories and critical self-recollections of getting her period and losing her two front teeth in the very same week. "I was just this Jack-O-Lantern with t*ts walking around," she said.
"Glamour has been so nice to me," Schumer explained with utter earnestness. "Any comic in the room knows that when a female comic does a photoshoot, they're like 'Oh, cool, can you hold this plastic d*ck over your head? We're going to shoot actual c*m out of it.'" Glamour was the very first magazine that had Schumer humbly smile.
She continued to applaud the magazine for allowing her to have a voice, detailing how they once published a story she conveyed about feeling used by a male companion during her college years. "I'm not going to apologize for who I am, and I'm going to actually love the skin I'm in and not be striving for some other version of myself," she said, conjuring a round of applause from the audience.

Following Ellie Goulding's speech, according to Yahoo, Amy uttered "I love the way Ellie was like, 'Thank you for loving real people,' and she's like a f-cking supermodel. Like, the little uglies, you found us!"
The Inside Amy Schumer star concluded her speech candidly, observing and stating how most male audience members didn't let out a chuckle during her speech. "I feel like I've burned all the bridges possible," she said before taking off.
Amy Schumer and her comedy will star in Trainwreck as it hits theaters on July 17, notes Rolling Stone.
