10 Most Powerful #StandWithLeslie Celebrity Tweets

This week in “I Can’t Believe We Still Deal With This Sh*t,” Leslie Jones’ fellow actors are tweeting their #StandWithLeslie support following outrageous acts of hateful misogynoir.

Someone hacked her iCloud Tuesday night and released purported nude photos of the actress, which follows a year marked by an onslaught of hate toward her role in Ghostbusters and bullying on Twitter.

Here are a handful of the best celebrity tweets standing with her and denouncing hate:
