Amy Schumer has thanked internet trolls for making her feel "powerful" after they orchestrated giving her new show a one-star review rating.
Schumer's stand-up special The Leather Specialdebuted on Netflix last week, and redditors have allegedly co-ordinated to give it one-star reviews.
A Splitsider articlerevealed a number of threads in alt-right subreddits that call Schumer a "disgusting cow" and asked users to "please go and one-star that piece of s***".
"I am the first female comic who is selling out arenas all over the world and so grateful for that," she said.
"The alt right organised trolls attack everything I do. They organize to get my ratings down. Meeting in sub Reddit rooms. They tried on my book and movies and tv show. And I want to thank them. It makes me feel so powerful and dangerous and brave.
"So this post has nothing against the trolls. I thank you trolls so much. It fills me with hope and power to see you all furiously posting so as always accuse me of whatever lies you want. Call me a whale. Call me a thief and I will continue to rise and fight and lead.
