This was quite the memorable gender reveal!!!
Amy Schumer shared on Sunday morning that while her first baby isn’t quite here yet (well, as far as we know), at least we can all know the gender of the child, now: it’s a boy!!!
The 37-year-old actress made the big reveal on Sunday afternoon in a new Instagram post that took an entirely different turn at first, before burying the lede and showing off the fact that her and husband Chris Fischer were soon to be parents of a newborn baby boy!
At first, though, the post is a pretty strong boycott of fast food chain Wendy’s, due to what Schumer argues are poor practice to keep female farm workers safe from rape and sexual assault. It’s a very serious issue and claim, and Schumer’s unique idea to use it to co-opt her gender reveal announcement has brought a LOT of eyes to Wendy’s alleged desire to look the other way on sexual assault.
Snapping a pic of her pediatrician’s office (which, Bravo cost Andy Cohen commented, is also the one he uses!), Schumer added this caption to it (below):
“Hey! We love @chancetherapper and hate to be the ones to tell him that Wendys is the only fast food chain refusing to protect farmworker women from sexual assault and rape in the fields. This is true. Please read that sentence again. Message for the people in charge: Instead of spicy nuggets, we want food that is harvested with dignity NOT violence. Please join the @fairfoodprogram and #BoycottWendys link in my bio of how you can help. Also we are having a boy.”
Wow! She certainly didn’t hold back there, knowing her gender reveal post would like gain her lots of attention.
And she was right! It worked!!!
