Kelly Marie Tran just got a powerful ally in her corner who knows a thing or two about online harassment. ?SNL? star Leslie Jones offered some advice to the young ?Star Wars: The Last Jedi? actress about how to deal with Internet trolls.
Tran recently deleted all of her Instagram posts following months of racist, abusive comments about her character in ?The Last Jedi.? And Jones can relate ? she experienced similar treatment leading up to the release of 2016?s ?Ghostbusters.? Jones told TheWrap the best thing Tran can do is to ?expose the worst of them? and keep a level head.
?When it happened to me, my only goal was to make sure that the worst of them were exposed. To make sure that people knew there were people like that out there,? Jones said in a phone interview with TheWrap. ?The one thing I would definitely tell is her f?ing don?t let that s? get to your head for sure. Those are absolute crazy people that are coming at her. They are insane. You can?t listen to insanity. The one thing I would definitely tell her is it should not affect you mentally at all, because they are crazy people. She?s just walking through an asylum right now and she just has to blur out the crazy voices.?
