Ghsotbusters star Lesli Jones' official website has been leaked, with her alleged nude pictures and private information leaked online. 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 @Lesdoggg is an absolute outrage. Alt right, haters, trolls, "comedians," whoever the fuck you all 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
