Roxy replied: ‘Thanks mate’ before Ollie messaged again on October 19, writing: ‘Be proud, people have no idea what the reality is like, amplified by injury x’.
The PR queen captioned the screen shot: ‘The reality of the reality’.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, Roxy said: ‘You have got to laugh don’t you! I mean one minute I am a total disappointment and horrendous from the start and the next – can you do some work for me and you did well given your injury.
‘But when the cards are down, it just shows people are happy to say whatever to get a media mention.’
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Ollie Ollerton for comment.

Roxy’s claims come after Ollie named Roxy as one of the worst performing contestants on SAS Australia.
In comments made to The Daily Telegraph on Saturday, he said: ‘Roxy was horrendous from the outset’.
Roxy was slammed by fans after quitting SAS Australia just six hours into the first day.
After the first episode of the reality show aired, the furious PR maven defended herself in a lengthy Instagram post, revealing she had actually fractured her hip and pelvis just six weeks before filming the physically demanding program.

The Ministry of Talent founder shared a number of photos on Instagram, showing her hospitalisation following the injury.
She explained in the caption: ‘To date I haven’t shared these images because I don’t think that it’s necessary to share an accident where I was fortunate enough to get better when many would have sustained long term and irreparable damage.
‘These photos were 6 weeks exactly before I left to join SAS Australia – after reading the barrage of comments by people on my Instagram tonight I’ve decided – f**k it – I’ll post.
She tried: The PR queen only lasted six hours on the challenging series, before deciding to quit after finding it ‘too demanding’
Tears: ‘It’s so f**king painful. I don’t want to give up…’ she cried, as the instructor described her decision to leave as ‘unfortunate’
‘For the f**k wits that have left comments on the previous post, let me explain how weak and fake I am. I fractured my hip and pelvis when on a horse for a job – the saddle slipped and I fell off.
‘I got back on the horse so as not to bother the rest of the riders and disrupt their ride and then took myself to emergency where I spent the next two days. Followed by 6 weeks on my back with daily Clexane injections and physio, orthopedic surgeon appointments etc.
‘So if weak and pathetic is showing up to SAS Australia because I had committed to it 6 months prior and put 6 days a week training into it no matter what my injuries were well then so be it.

Painful: The 40-year-old shared a number of photos on Instagram, showing her hospitalisation. She wrote: ‘These photos were 6 weeks exactly before I left to join SAS Australia – after reading the barrage of comments by people on my Instagram tonight I’ve decided – f**k it – I’ll post’
‘I think what it shows was, I had a commitment, I showed up and I tried my very best – which given the circumstances was a hell of a lot given my situation.
‘I recall saying to my orthopedic surgeon – “I may have to fall out of a chopper can you suggest a way to do this with my fractures”. His answer was simply ‘don’t’.
‘I did what I could but the reality is, my health is my number one priority with two children and a staff of 22 who rely on me – not a show for people’s entertainment and to give them something to troll / gossip about subsequently.
Medication: ‘If weak and pathetic is showing up to SAS Australia because I had committed to it 6 months prior and put 6 days a week training into it no matter what my injuries were well then so be it,’ she added, while sharing a photo of the medication she took after the accident
Roxy also shared this photo in which she was hobbling on crutches, writing: ‘I recall saying to my orthopedic surgeon – “I may have to fall out of a chopper can you suggest a way to do this with my fractures”. His answer was simply ‘don’t”
‘Having had cancer some three years ago I know that I didn’t need to take the chance of doing myself more harm. Anyway I think it simply shameful I had to post this,’ she concluded.
Roxy quit after the instructors made the celebrities submerge themselves in freezing cold water as punishment.
The emotional PR queen refused to get into the water, and instead told the instructors that she wanted off the show.
‘I can’t do it. I actually can’t… My leg’s killing me. I can’t do it,’ she told the instructors as she handed over her armband.
