Amy Schumer has hit back at online trolls criticising her casting as Barbie

The comedian is not taking ANYONE'S shit.

Earlier this week, the news broke that comedian Amy Schumer would be taking on the role of Barbie in the live action remake due to hit our screens in the near future. The actor, writer and comedian didn't have a chance to announce or comment on the exciting news before online trolls came out to slate her. Bullies online came forward to insist the 35-year-old performer was not thin or pretty enough to act the part of Barbie in the upcoming film.

Amy Schumer was cast as Barbie's fat, loud mouth nemesis right? No? SHE is playing Barbie? hahaha! Is this a horror film?

Following the news (and trolling) Amy took to Instagram to express pity for the haters and trolls.

"Very very honored to be nominated for 2 Grammys and to be considered to play an important and evolving icon. Is it fat shaming if you know you're not fat and have zero shame in your game? "I don't think so. I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love. Where's the shame? It's not there. It's an illusion. "When I look in the mirror I know who I am. Im a great friend, sister, daughter and girlfriend. I'm a badass comic headlining arenas all over the world and making tv and movies and writing books where I lay it all out there and I'm fearless like you can be. "Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support and again my deepest sympathy goes out to the trolls who are in more pain than we will ever understand. I want to thank them for making it so evident that I am a great choice. It's that kind of response that let's you know something's wrong with our culture and we all need to work together to change it. "Anyone who has ever been bullied or felt bad about yourself I am out there fighting for you, for us. And I want you to fight for yourself too! We need to laugh at the haters and sympathize with them. They can scream as loud as they want. "We can't hear them because we are getting shit done. I am proud to lead by example. "I say if I'm beautiful, I say if I'm strong. You will not determine my story. I will"
