"Every woman has a tiny bit of "cool girl" and a little bit of "pick me" in them, so I hesitate to use that label on anyone unless it's achingly obvious ( ahem, Sydney Sweeney). But the trick is to try and keep those traits to yourself...as opposed to putting them on full display in an Instagram post announcing your divorce."
"When I read the caption, I immediately thought of Kelly Killoren Bensimon saying on the Real Housewives of New York City that she got ready for her Playboy photoshoot by drinking beer and eating wings; Debby Ryan saying "it scares me to be still, it's terrifying" while telling a red carpet interviewer that she spent the morning driving around the desert; and every time Kendall Jenner has ever said she's a tomboy, a weirdo, or a nerd."
"But as of Wednesday, Schumer deleted her nonchalant Instagram, which put to rest weeks of rumors that she and Chris Fischer were getting divorced. She also clarified that they're not getting divorced because she got skinny and thinks she can bag a basketball player, or because Fischer's "a hot James beard award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail." Both were questions that had kept me up at night since Schumer was first seen without her wedding ring in November."
Amy Schumer published an Instagram caption suggesting a divorce from Chris Fischer, adopting a nonchalant 'cool-girl' tone. That caption evoked examples of performative nonchalance from other celebrities and calls to mind past public statements. She deleted the Instagram post days later and clarified that they are not divorcing, denying rumors that weight loss or attraction to athletes motivated a split. The post referenced a sketch from Inside Amy Schumer and a Hallmark trope parody, and the timing followed months of public attention after Schumer was seen without her wedding ring.
