How do these people sleep at night?
Leslie Jones, an actress and comedian best known for her work on Saturday Night Live and her starring role in this year’s Ghostbusters remake, has been forced to leave Twitter by a swathe of disgusting racist abuse.
Ghostbusters has caused consternation amongst man-babies and losers some internet commentators who can’t handle the idea of an all-female reboot of a movie about fighting ghosts.
Some people have taken this abuse to a despicable level by bombarding Jones, who plays Patty Tolan, with racist abuse.
Jones documented much of the abuse before announcing her decision to leave the social media platform across two emotional tweets.
Yep so sad these people have mothers and sisters and aunts. So fucking sickening pic.twitter.com/fEVLEgUfGh

I feel like I'm in a personal hell. I didn't do anything to deserve this. It's just too much. It shouldn't be like this. So hurt right now.
