Early Wednesday comedienne Leslie Jones was the subject of yet another racist attack. Online trolls hacked into Jones’ iCloud and posted her passport, driver’s license and nude photos on her personal website.
The hacker also replaced Jones’ website photo with a video of the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla Harambe, a reference used to insult Jones in previous Twitter attacks.

The SNL star has faced with the brunt of the prejudiced backlash to the remake of the film Ghostbusters, which she stars in, prompting her to leave Twitter just weeks ago.
TMZ reported that Jones took down her website due to the security breach.
These attacks come just a month after Jones spoke out against the racist attacks she received on Twitter on Late Night with Seth Meyers
After Jones spoke out against her Twitter bullying, the social media platform banned noted racist commentator Milo Yiannapoulos, who had encouraged his followers to bash Jones. It’s despicable that someone could be so vindictive to violate Jones’ privacy in this way.
Black women MUST be protected.
Where’s Harry Belafonte to speak out against this behaviour? I’ll wait…
Ok so share the screenshots with us cuz i dont believe it AT ALL !!!!
I don’t know how to do that, but it was basically lame white people jokes. See if you can google it. I saw the screenshots on another gossip website–Perez hilton. It’s sad what’s she’s going through either way.
Wow…so sad! When WILL it stop?
I found out why she’s been the subject of these attacks. Someone posted some screenshots of hers making racially offensive comments about white people. She’s a comdienne, so she takes liberty with some of her jokes, but in this day and age of social media, people who take offense to them will respond. She may have to tone those types of jokes down in the future.
