Leslie Jones is one of the stars of the all-female cast reboot of "Ghostbusters." The actress received a flood of racist backlash against the star after the premiere of the new film. Dan Aykroyd who both wrote and starred in the original "Ghostbusters" jumped to her defense. Akroyd says, "Well first of all she's a great writer, great comedian and comes from a real urban background where she had a lot of hardship, and she's channeling that into a great achievement and a great career."
