Amid uproar, Amy Schumer denies ‘shading Spider-Man’ or Tom Holland’s mental health
LA TimesFans of Tom Holland have accused Amy Schumer of mocking the actor’s recent decision to take a break from social media for his mental health. But the comedian claims she wasn’t “shading Spider-Man” with her own “important mental health announcement.” On Sunday, the “Life & Beth” star shared a video on Instagram jokingly vowing to “do more social media” to protect her mental health. You mocking a person raising awareness and providing tools for young people to deal with their mental health is precisely the reason why Tom Holland stays away from toxic social media,” tweeted @Maracev. In a brief statement, the comic clarified that she was actually making fun of herself — not the “Spider-Man” star — and acknowledged that “of course social media is toxic.” After recently keeping a low profile on Twitter and Instagram, Holland explained over the weekend that he finds social media “to be overstimulating” and “overwhelming.” “I get caught up, and I spiral when I read things about me online, and ultimately, it’s very detrimental to my mental state,” he continued.
