Leslie Jones Back on Twitter Just 48 Hours After Quitting in ‘Tears’

Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones is already back on Twitter after leaving the site two days ago.

Jones, who reported Breitbart Tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos to Twitter after he criticised the recent remake of Ghostbusters, provided Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey the chance to do something he’d long yearned for: permanently ban Milo from Twitter.

In light of her report and the abuse she had received from other users, something she tried to blame Milo for, the actress said she was leaving Twitter with “a very sad heart.”

I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart.All this cause I did a movie.You can hate the movie but the shit I got today…wrong

Jack Dorsey consequently tweeted at Jones asking her to privately message him following the incident.

Hi Leslie, following, please DM me when you have a moment
