Comedian Leslie Jones stars in the new Ghostbusters film, a movie that has been pin-pointed by misogynistic trolls on the internet because of the all-female cast. But Jones has now left Twitter, after now shedding a light on the racist abuse she's been receiving on the app. "I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart. All this cause I did a movie," she wrote. People can be so gross.

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.
