Twitter Reacts in Horror to Alleged Leslie Jones Hacking
Some people even sent her pictures of a gorilla.
Along with the sensitive photos, the hacker also posted a screenshot of her California driver’s license as well as her passport.
Jones is a celebrated comedian, and has been a cast member on Saturday Night Live since 2013.
The cruel cyberpunk topped Jones’ site with a tribute video to the late Cincinnati Zoo gorilla Harambe, a 17-year-old Western lowland ape that was shot in May when a young boy fell into his enclosure.
Although she has yet to comment on this particular instance, Jones has been outspoken against online harassment since her the incident on Twitter in July.
Leslie Jones, one of the stars of the 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters, has received a torrent of racist abuse on social media. “All this cause I did a movie”.
‘It’s so amusing how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for movie, ‘ she tweeted on June 28. The site may have been hosted through Tumblr, which may have been how hackers were able to compromise her website.
“Hate speech and freedom of speech, two different things”, she told Meyers.
Jones took on the attackers, calling some of them out for being racist and sexist; she then quit Twitter for a brief period. A representative for Jones did not immediately reply to USA TODAY’s request for comment, either.
