Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Leslie Jones recalls receiving death threats over Ghostbusters appearance
Caption: Leslie Jones recalls receiving death threats over Ghostbusters appearance. In an excerpt of the Saturday Night Live star's memoir published by Rolling Stone, Leslie remembered breaking down in tears after seeing online comments referring to her appearance in the female-fronted reboot of Ghostbusters. She wrote of the bullying, harassment, and death threats she saw: ”I can't believe anyone would do this s**t to someone, anyone, for working. This is awful. I am in a movie. Death threats for something as small as that?”. While 1984's Ghostbusters starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis, the 2016 version starred the all-female lead cast of Leslie, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon. ”I was being sent films of being hanged, of white guys jacking off on my picture, saying, 'You f**king n*****. We going to kill you,’" "Why are people being so evil to each other? How can you sit and type 'I want to kill you.' Who does that?”. Her autobiography, Leslie F**king Jones, was released earlier this week. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
