Washington:
“Ghostbusters” star Lesli Jones’ nude pictures and private information leaked online after official website has been leaked.
Photos of 48-year-old Jones’ passport and drivers license were released in a gross invasion of privacy, in addition to the nudes, reported Variety.
The photos reportedly originated from her iCloud account. The site was taken down shortly after the leak. No motive has been announced yet.
Jones, who is quite active on Twitter, has not responded yet. Her reps did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Earlier this summer, she was harassed by trolls on social media, including news editor Milo Yiannopoulos.
Twitter had banned Yiannopoulos after he posted racist comments about the comedian. Jones had called the harassment “gross and mean and unnecessary.”
“Ghostbusters” director Paul Feig defended Jones and condemned the fresh attack in a response on Twitter.
“What’s happening to [Leslie Jones] is an absolute outrage,” he wrote. “Alt right, haters, trolls, ‘comedians’, whoever you are, you’re just sad.”
Many female stars like Patricia Arquette, Lena Dunham and Katy Perry soon rallied in support for Jones.
Arquette posted, “FYI sharing stolen intimate photos like @Lesdoggg ‘s is illegal. You are participating in a sex crime.”
“Do me a favor? Please don’t share or view the Leslie Jones personal info/photos. Support Leslie by not supporting the assholes that did this,” tweeted actress Alyssa Milano.
“Let’s turn our anger at trolls into love for Leslie Jones and into strategies to protect all the heroines who don’t deserve this bullshit,” wrote Dunham.
Perry tweeted, “Do not give your eyeballs to this racist, hate-filled, misogynoir crime. I #StandWithLeslie.”
