Amy Schumer Gets Stitches After a Fallen Kitchen Scissor Stabs Her Ankle While She Opens a Bag of Pet Fish, Joking That She Blames the Fish
American comedian Amy Schumer has described a minor accident at home on social media. According to Page Six reporting on November 11, the 45-year-old said in Instagram Stories on Tuesday, November 10, that she stabbed her ankle with a pair of kitchen scissors while rushing to put new pet fish into a tank, and that she later received stitches.
In the Stories, Schumer posted a video of herself getting stitched up and a photo of the broken kitchen scissors, captioning it: "Freak accident with these scissors." She called the tool "dangerous." She explained: "Essentially, I was rushing in to open the bag of fishies, and half the kitchen scissors fell off and landed at an upward angle just as I was stepping down and it stabbed my ankle."
She then posted a clip of the new fish swimming in the tank, introducing the "latest members of the family" and naming them Floppy, Flippy and Goldy, and joked: "Yes, I blame the fish." An EntertainmentNow report earlier on November 11 described the same Stories, including a photo of a small, bloody wound on her ankle; that report noted she had not said whether she sought medical care, while Page Six's later report confirmed she got stitches.
Schumer has not provided a further update on the injury. She has often shared her medical visits and health experiences on social media, including losing 50 pounds after a 2024 diagnosis of Cushing syndrome helped her manage that condition.
