“Comedy is subjective and it's okay if I'm not your thing. But please remember the difference between personal preference and outright ability.”

She also shared a passionate video on Instagram in which she once again hit back at the cruel trolling and promised that it will not hold her back in her career.

“So I was at the Royal Variety last night. “I just want to make something clear: If you want to write to me to tell me I'm not funny, don't do that because I don't care,” she said.

“If you want to say I'm too disabled to be on television or you can't understand me, don't bother because again, I don't care and I'll keep appearing on your screen with my big disabled voice.”

The comments section of her post was flooded with kind messages from her 139,000 followers sharing their support.

One wrote: 'You're funny, and strong, and a legend! And I bet you're a lot funnier and better company than the person sending those negative, nasty comments.”

Another said: 'Spot on Rosie, if people don't like you or find you funny that's their problem, you're sweet and hysterical.'

A third wrote: 'National Treasure and People's Princess @josierones you are FABULOUS and we love you.'

Another said: 'You are hilarious and seriously talented. Thank you for all you do for the disability community as a side effect of what you do.”

Other fans also shared their excitement about her upcoming six-episode sitcom, which she writes and stars in for Channel 4.

In Disability Benefits, Rosie will star as Emily, who starts her own illegal drug empire after her state benefits were cut when she was made redundant.

Speaking about the project, Rosie said: 'I'm incredibly excited to be making Disability Benefits for Channel 4. It's always been my dream to have my own sitcom and now it's coming true! Bring it on!!'

Earlier this year, Rosie also released a documentary called Am I a R*tard? and defended the controversial title while discussing the abuse she suffered.

The documentary aimed to explore and educate viewers about the online abuse faced by people with disabilities, including Rosie.

However, it then emerged that a number of disabled contributors withdrew from the documentary led by Rosie, claiming the title was 'harmful'.

But Rosie defended her use of the title, saying that while the word was “repugnant” she wanted to “address the subject head-on.”

Appearing on This Morning, Rosie said: 'I had to stay true to my lived experience, which is that I get that word thrown at me regularly online and on the street.'

She explained, “Every day I get comments online about ableism, ableism on the street, and no one knows about it.

“That's why no one, in my opinion, had taken that seriously, so I felt really passionate about putting my truth out there because if we start the conversation about albeism and defamation, we can really start to stop it.”

She said she feels “attacked” from several directions and said: “It really has to stop.”

Dermot then quizzed Rosie about the title, with the star saying: 'Well, I understand a lot of people find the title very disturbing. And I understand why.

'I find that word absolutely disgusting. And when I receive criticism from my own community, it hits harder, but this is my documentary.

'I really feel like people use these swear words and other swear words casually in schools, in pubs, online, on the street, without ever considering how harmful it is.

'As a presenter and producer, I felt really passionate about putting that word in the title, because for me, sometimes you have to tackle a subject in depth to really talk about it. and we are.

“I was hoping we could stop that kind of language by putting it in the title and really addressing it in the movie.”
