MUMBAI: Comedienne-actress Amy Schumer has apologised to singer Taylor Swift for her body-shaming remarks.

Schumer made fun of Swift’s “thigh gap” on Monday during the 2016 Grammy Awards and received a backlash from Swift’s fans.

At the red carpet event, Swift was wearing a two-piece designed by Atelier Versace and bared her slim legs. Schumer posted a bikini photograph of herself on the beach with plus-size comedienne Bridget Everett and wrote: “Taylor that’s not a thigh gap. This is a thigh gap.”

On Wednesday, Schumer decided to make amends by posting two images on Instagram to make light of the situation, reports aceshowbiz.com.

In the first one, she sported a fake beard and short messy hair.

“That’s not a beard, this is a beard. So sorry to anyone with a beard this may offend. I am a comic and should never make fun of myself at the expense of anyone else that I wasn’t making fun of in the first place. #relax #beard,” she captioned the image.

The second photograph is a meme of actor Paul Hogan as Crocodile Dundee saying, “That’s not a knife. This is a knife.”

Schumer wrote: “So sorry to anyone with a different size knife too.”
