Gregg DeGuire—WireImage/Getty Images by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley Aug 24, 2016 6:53 PM UTC _SNL_ and _Ghostbusters_ star [Leslie Jones](http://time.com/4452516/rio-2016-olympics-leslie-jones-gabby-douglas-twitter/) has been the subject of another vile attack online, this time in the form of a [hack](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/leslie-jones-website-hacked-article-1.2764043?utm%5Fcontent=buffera1b1e&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=twitter.com&utm%5Fcampaign=NYDailyNewsTw). Her website was taken over by hackers who posted images of the actress’s personal identification papers, including her driver’s license and passport, as well as what appear to be nude photos of her. The hackers additionally topped her homepage with a video of [Harambe](http://time.com/4464435/harambe-the-gorilla/), the gorilla killed at the Cincinnati Zoo in May, recalling [racist social media users](http://time.com/4418931/leslie-jones-twitter-harassment-seth-meyers/) comparing the actress to a gorilla, the _New York Daily News_ reports. That harassment led to a meeting between Jones and Twitter execs to discuss ways to deal with abusive comments. The website has now been taken down. A representative for Jones did not immediately respond to request for comment. \[[_NY Daily News_](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/leslie-jones-website-hacked-article-1.2764043?utm%5Fcontent=buffera1b1e&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=twitter.com&utm%5Fcampaign=NYDailyNewsTw)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4464720/leslie-jones-hack/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4464720/leslie-jones-hack/"},"headline":"Leslie Jones' Website Was Viciously Hacked In a Racist Attack","datePublished":"2016-08-24T18:53:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:13.573Z","description":"The hackers posted nude photos of the actress","url":"https://time.com/4464720/leslie-jones-hack/","keywords":["motto","harassment"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt493e13326ae2dbdd/6988a38a0b72e395d96eac26/leslie-jones.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt493e13326ae2dbdd/6988a38a0b72e395d96eac26/leslie-jones.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of Sony Pictures' \"Ghostbusters\" - Arrivals","caption":"Premiere Of Sony Pictures' \"Ghostbusters\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Gregg DeGuire—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4464720/leslie-jones-hack/","name":"Leslie Jones' Website Was Viciously Hacked In a Racist Attack"}}]}] ```
