Leslie Jones: Ghostbusters Star Fights Back Against Twitter Trolls!!!

People are awful, as Leslie Jones is showing us.



The Ghostbusters star has been the target of hatred on Twitter, and is doing something about it.


According to E! News, rather than delete her account, Jones is going after every single user who has tweeted something vulgar or offensive.


“I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart,” she wrote.


“All this cause I did a movie.You can hate the movie but the shit I got today…wrong.”


Exposing each user took its toll on the actress, who admitted that it was all getting to be too much.


“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.”


The fact that the Saturday Night Live star has to endure such abuse (over and over and over again) is very tough to watch.  


Fortunately, other stars have come to Jones’ defense, including Reese Witherspoon and Loni Love, and a hashtag, #LoveForLeslieJ has been created in support.


When some users claim that Jones was melting down by responding to the hateful tweets, she took them to task.



“It’s not called a meltdown when [you’re] defining yourself. Pay attention,” she shot back.


“So sad, these people have mothers and sisters and aunts. So f–king sickening.”


Ever since the Ghostbusters trailer premiered back in March, Jones has been on the defense against racist and sexually offensive remarks.


According to the star herself, she’s been called an “ape,” received pics of people’s butts, and one person sent an image with “semen” on her face.


Instead of celebrating opening weekend of her movie, Jones has spent all of her time responding to and warding off venomous tweets from people who not only have a few brain cells floating around in their head, but have no problem tearing someone else down.


This is bad.  We need to do a better job at being human.

Willie Robertson, Scott Baio Support Donald Trump at Republican National Convention

Willie Robertson, Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. were among the so-called celebrities who opened the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday night.


Each expressed his reason on stage for supporting Donald Trump.



“Are you cheering because we’re ugly?” the Duck Dynasty star said to kick off primetime coverage of the event from Cleveland.


Robertson went on to note similarities between himself and Trump, namely that both are successful businessmen who have anchor hit reality programs, “though I flew commercial here,” Willie joked.


That’s not a bad line actually.


Robertson then took aim at “media experts” who were dead wrong about Trump’s candidacy, assuming he would lose early on in the GOP primary and adding that “it must be humbling to be so wrong about so much for so long.”


We’re not sure how slamming reporters from both sides of the aisle gets Trump votes, but hey.


Robertson proceeded to play the divisive card, talking about southern roots and saying “they don’t know how to talk to folks like us,” people who “hunt, fish, pray and actually work for a living.”


He concluded that Trump “may not be politically correct,” but he “always tells you the truth as he sees it” – and that’s why the Duck Commander CEO believes “Donald Trump will have your back.”



Scott Baio also shared his thoughts live from Ohio, getting quickly to his main point in a speech that was short and not sweet.


Not when it came to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at least.


She’s a a woman who feels she’s “entitled to the presidency,” Baio argued, while describing Trump is “a man doing this out of the goodness of his heart,” who “says what he means. and means what he says.”


Once again, it’s not really clear why either of those statements are a reason to vote someone in to the Oval Office, but hey.


Baio’s final message to attendees and viewers? “Let’s make America America again!”


We don’t know what that means.



Then there was Antonio Sabato Jr., who did not address the crowd in only his underwear, much to the chagrin of the women and gay men in attendance.


(JUST KIDDING! There are no women or gay men in support of Donald Trump.)


“My belief in this country and my faith in Jesus Christ have compelled me to speak now,” said the model and former Dancing with the Stars contestant.


“Our rights have been trampled and our security threatened,” added Sabato, who detailed his decision to move to the United States from Rome in 1985 and who become a naturalized citizen in 1996.


“Others who want to come to the U.S. to live and work should follow the same rules!”


Sabato’s speech, which claimed that America is “weaker by almost every measure,” was short on specifics, yet heavy on passion.


“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton promote division,” he said with a straight face, adding:


“Don’t be fooled: Donald Trump is for unity. Donald Trump believes in one America with liberty and justice for all.”


Bobby Ramirez Dies; Rapper Known as DTTX Was 46

Bobby Ramirez, a rapper known by the stage name of DTTX, died Monday afternoon after spending 11 days in a coma.


He as 46 years old.



According to various outlets, Ramirez was found unresponsive on July 7 on an especially hot day in Las Vegas.  


His family members tells TMZ that paramedics came across the rapper in an unresponsive state, with his body temperature hovering around 107 degrees.


Ramirez also had severe burns on his body.


DTTZ was taken to a nearby hospital at the time and placed on life support, where he remained until yesterday.


Loved ones confirm that Ramirez had struggled with alcoholism for years, but they think his death was due to cardiac arrest and heat stroke.


Ramirez grew up in Riverside, California before teaming up with fellow rapper ODM in the 1990s to form A Lighter Shade of Brown.  


The tandem made numerous successful albums together, including “Brown & Proud.”


Their 1991 record, “On a Sunday Afternoon,” reached number-39 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climbed all the way to number-one in New Zealand.


Following news of DTTX’s hospitalization in early July, the official Facebook page for A Lighter Shade Of Brown shared a handful of updates.


The latest was posted on July 14 and read as follows:


“God please help our brother. It’s in your hands.”


We send our condolences to the family members, friends and loved ones of Bobby Ramirez.
