En_Sabah_Nur 9,359 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 "After enduring a deluge of racist bullying, “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones will leave Twitter. She announced the news in a brief Tweet on Monday evening, writing, She reached the decision after a number of Twitter users attacked her account with racist comments filled with hateful accusations about her appearance and more. Later, an account posing as Jones posted a number of hate-filled Tweets, duping some viewers into believing she was behind them and sparking more backlash. A hashtag initiative — #LoveForLeslieJ — rose in support of the actress, and Deadline points out that Sony and some of her peers eventually convinced Twitter to suspend some of the accounts. However, it proved to be too much for the “Saturday Night Live” star, who described the experience as “a personal hell.” Directed by Paul Feig, from a script by Feig and Katie Dippold, and starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, “Ghostbusters” is now in theaters."

Kermit 15,807 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Good. They don't deserve her. Other people should take notes, and do the same. “For me, insanity is super sanity.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's a shame people would get so riled up about a movie. It's not a bio pic. People are just scum.
