Comedian Leslie Jones has put up with a lot of bullshit (opens in new tab) since becoming a public figure—including the the slew of online abuse (opens in new tab) she's subject to just because she's black, the awful mess she had to deal with during Ghostbusters, and Milo Yiannopoulos referring (opens in new tab) to her acting as "flat-as-a-pancake black stylings."
And if all that isn't enough, the actress was allegedly treated badly during her stay at The Ritz-Carlton, a high end hotel chain that she recently accused of racism.
Wow was such a great night at the BET awards. But then had THE WORST STAY @RitzCarlton DO NOT STAY THERE!! THEY DONT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE!!June 26, 2017
Jones has not elaborated further on what happened to inspire this tweet, but the hotel responded with the following:
We’re very sorry to hear this. We pride ourselves on providing excellent service to all. Please DM us & we’ll look into this right away.June 27, 2017
Naturally, this will inevitably prompt Twitter version of "he said/she said," but at the end of the day what she said is all that's relevant here. When someone claims they were a victim of racism, believe them.
