VIDEO : Racial Abuse Puts 'Ghostbusters' Star 'in a Personal Hell'

On Monday, thousands have taken to social media platform Twitter to rally behind comedian Leslie Jones with the hashtag #LoveforLeslieJ. The rally comes after the "Ghostbusters" star was subjected to a storm of misogynist and racist messages. The actress plays one of the movie's four ghost-catchers. Jones said she was "in a personal hell" over the online abuse. Boosted by "Ghostbusters" director Paul Feig and other celebrities, it received tens of thousands of tweets. It received a solid $46 million at its opening weekend, although failed to top the U.S. box office.
