Make Page Six a Preferred Source Amy Schumer got stitches after accidentally stabbing herself in the foot while tending to her new pet fish.
“Freak accident with these scissors,” the “Trainwreck” star captioned an Instagram Story video of herself getting stitched up on Tuesday, followed by a photo of broken kitchen scissors.
“Dangerous,” the actress dubbed the tool before posting a separate clip of a fish tank.
“Essentially, I was rushing in to open the bag of fishies,” the 45-year-old explained. “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 joked to her followers, “Yes, I blame the fish.”
In the social media upload, the comedian introduced viewers to the “latest members of the family.”
“This is Floppy, this is Flippy and this is Goldy,” Schumer said.
The “Last Comic Standing” alum, who did not provide further updates on her injury, hasn’t shied away from sharing her health struggles and doctor’s visits in the past.
The “I Feel Pretty” star openly admitted in May that she was “not feeling very sexual” after “a botched colonoscopy.”

Months before that confession, Schumer explained that her 50-pound weight loss helped manage her 2024 Cushing syndrome diagnosis.
According to the National Institutes of Health, Cushing’s syndrome is defined as “a disorder that occurs when your body makes too much of the hormone cortisol over a long period of time,” resulting in blood clots, heart attacks, infections, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and more symptoms.
Showing off her slimdown in an Instagram video, Schumer said, “Sorry for whatever feeling it’s giving you that I lost that weight. I’ve had plastic surgery over the years, and I use Mounjaro. Sorry to anyone who feels let down. I’m pain-free. I can [play] tag with my son.”
At the time, Schumer clarified to followers that her weight loss had nothing to do with her separation from husband Chris Fischer.
The Emmy nominee, notably, announced her split from the chef in December 2025 after seven years as husband and wife.
She and Fischer, 46, now co-parent their 7-year-old, Gene.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer wrote via Instagram last year.
“We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” she added. “We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.”
