Amy Schumer stuns fans as she uses a walker after surfing accident and secret spinal surgery
It came after she candidly opened up on using fat jabs next step Amy Schumer stuns fans as she uses a walker after surfing accident and secret spinal surgery AMY Schumer has left fans stunned after capturing herself using a walker. The Emmy award-winner actress, 44, revealed her secret spine surgery after admitting her lower back was "killing" her. 5 Amy Schumer stunned fans as she used a zimmer frame after undergoing back surgery Credit: amyschumer/Instagram 5 It came after she admitted to using weight loss jab Mounjaro Credit: amyschumer/Instagram 5 Amy, 44, suffered the surfing incident in high school Credit: Getty The New York-born star was seen donning a orange jumper and pink trousers as she stood at the bottom of the stairs with her silver frame. Amy flashed a wry smile as she clutched onto the handles of the support device. She told her followers: "Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me. "Today I got a laminectomy! "It's a short recovery and when I'm feeling better I will buy a bra!" She then added she had suffered a horse riding injury prior to surgery and said: "I took a deep breath and got my 44 year old, bad backed a** right back up on that horse and rode and trotted and it sent a message to those (riding students) and myself." The NHS stays of the procedure: "Lumbar decompression surgery is a type of surgery used to treat compressed nerves in the lower (lumbar) spine. "It's only recommended when non-surgical treatments haven't helped. "The surgery aims to improve symptoms such as persistent pain and numbness in the legs caused by pressure on the nerves in the spine." Amy Schumer reveals trolling over her 'moon face' led to Cushing Syndrome diagnosis Amy suffered her surfing injury in high school. CHANGING FIGURE Amy recently revealed she has been taking weight loss jab Mounjaro. Showing off her svelte figure while on a yacht, Amy looked amazing in the black and white swimsuit number. With her blond locks pulled back into an up-do, Amy posed beneath the sunshine as she looked out to the ocean. In March, the Trainwreck star revealed she was taking Mounjaro in an Instagram video. In the video she shared, she noted how the drug is not covered by insurance unless a patient has diabetes or severe obesity. "Which most of the internet thinks I have," she joked. "But I'm having a really good experience with it, and I wanted to keep it real with you about that." Amy previously confessed to having taken Ozempic and having a "horrible experience" with it. Speaking on The Howard Stern show, she said: "I have this gene, GDF15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. "So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was, like, veteran. "I was, like, vomiting — and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they're all good. God bless them." She explained how she "lost 30 pounds so quick" but noted how the nausea she experienced was awful. Last year, the actress and director revealed she had been diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome, which was caused by having steroid injections in high doses. The star, who has now "got rid" of the syndrome, first announced news of her diagnosis in early 2024 in the News Not Noise Substack newsletter. 5 She has spoken openly about using fat jabs Credit: Getty

Love Island's Dejon responds to step-sister's claims that he's a ‘narcissist' and ‘manipulative' insisting it's ‘false'
He used his first-ever TikTok to address the shock claims ISLE SAY Love Island's Dejon responds to step-sister's claims that he's a 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' insisting it's 'false' LOVE Island's Dejon has clapped back at "false" slurs on his character after his step sister branded him a "narcissist." The ITV2 show alum, who was voted out with partner Meg ahead of Monday's show final, took to TikTok to address the allegations in his first ever video. 6 Love Island's Dejon has responded to hos step-sister's claims that he's a 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' Credit: Tiktok 6 Dejon, who was paired with Meg on the show, address 'false' speculation following his time in the villa Credit: ITV 6 He clapped back at his step-sister Niah's video on what she called the 'real Dejon' Credit: tiktok It came just hours after the Love Island 2025 OG, 26, put on a brave face with his co-stars following the family slam. Niah, who is not biologically related to Dejon but shares a brother with him, took to TikTok to give fans an unfiltered glimpse into the 'real Dejon' and insisted he is "manipulative" and "narcissistic". She has even gone as far as to write her own account in a tell-all book named 'Surviving Dejon', which is already available to buy. After the rumours swirled - and coming under fire for his controversial behaviour on the show and being branded a "gaslighter" by fans - he has spoken out. Dejon appeared topless in his new clip, donning a bling diamond necklace. He strolled around a room with crisp white walls and exposed black beams and initially thanked fans for their support. He said of the good wishes: "It really means the world to me, honestly especially in times like now. "I feel like there's a lot of false stories out there about me which are very untrue, unfair and I feel like from that, really big up to my supporters. "I'm excited and looking forward to showing you guys who I really am. Watch the moment Maya Jama takes savage swipe at another girl after Meg and Dejon miss out on Love Island final "For now, lets go play some table tennis." The end of the clip showed him reunited with Meg as they played table tennis. SHOCK CLAIM In her scathing six minute video, his step sister Niah claimed that what viewers have seen on TV is an accurate reflection of how Dejon behaves in real life. She began: " So I've decided to speak out because I've been silent for way too long and I know that I will be receiving probably a lot of backlash from my family for this. LOVE ISLAND VOTING PERCENTAGES TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages? Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale. However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final. A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown. However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty. "You guys are all clearly very traumatised from seeing Dejon on TV and seeing everything that he's doing and watching everything play out it seems as though no one is holding him accountable. She went on to say: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me. And it's just crazy now that the whole of the UK can see what I've been trying to explain to people for so long. She continued: 'I didn't want to speak out on this. That's why I haven't made any videos directly explaining anything about him because I know that it can affect my family in a bad way. "And I do completely understand if they are upset with me for this post. She added: "One thing I will say is, I knew from the beginning, from the first episode I knew exactly what was going to go down. "It's just a shame because I don't want him to be seen like this, but I genuinely don't think that he sees that he's a narcissist, you know? and I actually do feel bad for Meg in a sense." Speaking about the book alongside a trailer for it, she penned: 'This book answers everything. reasons why I spoke out. Why fear kept me silent for so long. How I lost everyone and everything I ever cared about. 'It reveals the truth behind the rumours I never wanted to address. I need to tell my truth in the way that I feel in control. This is not for attention, creating this book was like therapy for me. 'I would never put my reputation on the line or lose the people I loved if I didn't have a powerful reason to finally speak.' Niah even posted a trigger warning for the book as it contains: "emotionally intense and potentially distressing content". DEJON'S TAKE Speaking to the Daily Mail previously, Dejon has hit back at claims of him being a 'narcissist', he said: "I do take full accountability for how I communicated at times in the villa. "The girls who were on the show with me say I'm not a narcissist, I'm not a gaslighter, all of these things they have seen online, it means a lot to me because they spent 24 hours a day with me. "I could have handled situations better but when it comes to being a 'narcissist' and these words, empathy is definitely something that I have, it's something I had for Meg, for Harry, and when Meg was upset, I was there for her, and when Harry was upset it would break my heart. "Me and Harry had a thing, we called it fitness and feelings where we would go to the gym and I would say "don't worry H, we can be free here, our tears, people will think they're sweat."' 6 Fans had accused the businessman of being a 'gaslighter' on the series Credit: ITV 6 He failed to reach the series final with Meg Credit: ITV
