There is something wrong with this

How would you phrase this?
Only person I don't mind yelling at me is her.

Thanks

It's OK as very casual spoken English. A slight improvement would be to say ' The only person . .

How would you have written it on paper?

I know this is correct grammatically.
You yelling at someone
Only person I don't mind yelling at is her

With 'me' it doesn't roll off the tongue. or does it?

Thanks

Only person I don't mind yelling at me is her.

On paper, I'd prefer to reword it a bit.

eg I don't mind her yelling at me, but I dislike it when anyone else does it.
eg I dislike being yelled at, except by her.
