Leslie Jones is back on Twitter and Snapchat after going dark on social media— After the “Ghostbusters” star’s website was hacked, Jones went underground. She didn’t tweet, she didn’t use her favourite filters on Snapchat and she wasn’t spotted in public.
But that all changed Saturday, when she returned to Twitter to share her thoughts on the classic show “Golden Girls.”
“Thanks to my fans and friends! I’m soooooo ok really. And I will always be funny been through a lot in my life and I ALWAYS GET BACK UP!” she tweeted Sunday night. “So let’s make my birthday week THE BOMB!! Cause I’m about to act a fool YALL!! CHEAH! #LJBDAY.”
Jones’ birthday is Sept. 7, so it looks like she’s already getting into celebratory mode.
The “Saturday Night Live” cast member’s return to social media also comes after one of the trolls who harassed her on Twitter, Milo Yiannopoulos, came forward on ABC News’ “Nightline” and said he had no regrets about tweeting racist comments at her. “Trolling is very important,” Yiannopoulos said. “I like to think of myself as a virtuous troll, you know? I’m doing God’s work.”
