Terrified Rosie Jones says she had wine thrown over her in what her friend called an “ableist and homophobic” attack on a train.
Rosie and fellow comedian Lee Peart were subjected to the assault while they were travelling together on Sunday in south London, weeks after she said she faces judgement from the public every day of her life. The TV star has ataxic cerebral palsy and was “mocked” by the group of three people before being covered in the drink.
The heartbreaking attack posted a video of the aftermath to his social media account. According to the camera, “Here I am with one of my favorite people and look,” they said. He claimed as the phone began to show the pair, who were still traveling and covered in wine.

You are aware of where that came from? being attacked by homophobic and ableist a*******s. After that, Rosie addressed the assault and continued, “Three people mocked both our voices and threw wine at us.” What a f*****g waste”!
Lee then told their followers: “This is the reality we are getting too now in this country where it’s like…. what’s going on?” In an update, he wrote on Instagram today: “Thank you for your lovely messages and we are both doing fine and yes we have reported it. The BTP took us home and were wonderful. Rosie Jones is a wonderful human.”
MirrorOnline have contacted the British Transport Police for comment and told us: “Officers were called to East Croydon railway station at around 10.30pm yesterday (5 October) following reports of a group of people abusing and assaulting other passengers on a train from Brighton to Victoria. Enquiries are ongoing, and anyone who witnessed anything or has any information is asked to contact BTP by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 672 of 5 October.”
Being gay, disabled, being a woman, being a comedian, and being a comedian, according to the comedian, who also identifies as gay, “People have been judging me for 34 years”” Rosie says, “I think I am the ideal host for a show like this because, let me tell you, I am a comedian because being gay, being disabled, being a woman, being a comedian means that people, strangers judge me every day.
I am aware of how that feels. Everyone is aware that I will give as good as I can when we go “let’s judge people,” so we can’t be bothered. And you can be sure that whatever I ask of you will be received in return, making it a welcoming and fun place.
After being vilely abused by trolls for her role in Channel 4’s Taskmaster, Rosie revealed she needed therapy. The actress continued to say that she needed assistance after meeting with a troll while filming Rosie Jones: Am I A R****d?
She stated, “Doing that documentary affected my mental health, and I started therapy because of it, which I am so happy about. It can be a problem financially, but I would advise anyone who has the money to seek therapy because it is so important to you and you don’t need to wait until you’re at rock bottom to check in on yourself.
What did a guy say to me when I even had him say? You’re receiving therapy, right? You seem so content, don’t you? And I’m like, “It’s not about whether I’m crying in the street, or whether I’m crying in the car, or whether I’m having a good time,” because I’m in therapy. “I’m not about whether I’m crying in the street.
After the insults became too frequent, she was also forced to take regular breaks on social media. She previously stated, “My school had one of the only students with disabilities.” To survive, I had to develop my self-assurance, personality, and sense of humor. Someone else should have laughed at my disability first, because I had to be the first to do so.
Diversity and inclusion have never been more important than when about 24% of the UK population is now categorized as having a disability. “I’ve spent my childhood, adulthood, and now my career making people laugh to make sure they’re okay with me and my disability. Right, it’s not up to me to break the tension; it’s up to me to tell you how difficult my life sometimes is. “Make the documentary is the time I’ve gone.”
