British comedian Rosie Jones has revealed that she was a victim of an assault over the weekend during an evening out with a friend. The TV star 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 travelling together through south London on Sunday, just weeks after she opened up about facing judgment from the public every day of her life. The 35-year-old, who lives with cerebral palsy, claimed she was “mocked” by a group of three people before being covered in wine.
The aftermath of the attack was shared in a heartbreaking video, which she shared on social media and explained: “Here I am with one of my favourite people and look…” The camera was then panned to show the pair covered in wine while still on their journey. Lee added: “You know what that was from? Being attacked by ableist and homophobic a*******s.” Rosie then addressed the assault and continued: “Three people mocked both of our voices, threw wine at us. What a f*****g waste!”

In an update, he later added: “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.”
The British Transport Police stated: “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.”

The comedian opened up about her daily struggles and shared that she had to undergo therapy after being targeted by trolls after she featured on Channel 4’s Taskmaster.
Rosie went on to explain that she also sought help after meeting up with one of the trolls during the filming of her documentary Rosie Jones: Am I A R****d?
“Doing that documentary took a toll on my mental health and I started therapy because of it, which I am so happy about.
“Financially, it can be a problem, but I would say to anybody who can afford therapy to do it because your brain is the most important part of you and you don’t need to wait until you’re at rock bottom to check in on yourself.”
