In August 2016, comedienne and SNL alum Leslie Jones had her website hacked by someone who is apparently both racist and sexist. The hacker uploaded private nude photos of Jones, as well as photos of her passport and driver's license and a video of Harambe, the ape who was killed at the Cincinnati zoo.
Just a month before the hack, Jones was attacked on Twitter by trolls who called her an ape (she was compared to Harambe then, too) and sent a number of graphic sexual photos, including one depicting a photo of Jones with semen on it.
Jones signed off Twitter in the wake of the August hack with, “I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart. All this cause I did a movie. You can hate the movie but the s--t I got today ... wrong," referencing her role in the female-led Ghostbusters reboot. The movie got so much sh*t from Internet trolls there's an article out there called "All the times [director] Paul Feig was forced to defend Ghostbusters."
