NEW YORK CITY: Amy Schumer is being slammed online for posting a funny parody Instagram video that pokes fun at people who avoid social media for their mental health.
She also joked sarcastically that watching “Love Island” in her 40s was good for her physical and emotional health and that she wanted to post more of it on Instagram.
Although she was just messing around, her post came just hours after actor Tom Holland, who is 26, decided and said he was quitting the platform because of his own mental health. The video was posted on Sunday, August 14, which left people feeling attacked on a personal level.

Safely Chelsea Handler, Michelle Pfeiffer and Orlando Bloom all burst out laughing in the comments when they saw Amy’s post. The 41-year-old actress said in the video she posted to Instagram, “Hey y’all. I’ve decided to spend more time on social media for the sake of my own mental health. I feel better when I stare at my phone for eight and a half hours every day. And it helps that breakout and that pimple spot.” She later said, “I’m in my 40s, so watching all of Love Island and The Bachelors is actually really good for me. Whether it’s in heaven or just normal mansions. She ended by saying, “So, you’ll see me a lot more on social media just for my physical and mental health.”
A few hours ago, Tom, like many other famous people, opened up about why he thinks social media is bad for his mental health. He wrote: “I took a sanity hiatus from social media because I find Instagram and Twitter too empowering and overwhelming. I get caught in a spiral when I read things about myself online, and it ends up being really bad for my mental health, so I decided to take a step back and delete the app.

It’s no fun making fun of people going through a tough time. She made me laugh. “Two cannibals ate Amy Schumer,” someone else wrote. One of them asks, “Does this taste weird to you?” “No” said the other. “It’s great that everyone found @amyschumer’s mental health and social media parody video funny, but really. just shut the fuck up.
