Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones made her return to Twitter over the Labor Day weekend, less than two weeks after her official site was hacked with racist messages and alleged personal information and photos of the comedienne.
Jones made her return to Twitter on Saturday Sept. 3 by declaring her love for The Golden Girls and then tweeted an endorsement for the HBO comedy Vice Principals starring Danny McBride.
It wasn’t until Sunday that Jones acknowledged her absence, proudly stating that she will “always get back up.”
