Comedian Leslie Jones has taken her personal website offline after a hacker disclosed private information, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ms. Jones’s driver’s license and passport, as well as a cache of private photos, were disclosed online, THR reported Wednesday.

Earlier this summer, the “Ghostbusters” co-star briefly took herself off Twitter after a coordinated bullying campaign by Donald Trump supporter Milo Yiannopoulos, who was subsequently banned from the micro-blogging service.



She returned to Twitter shortly thereafter.

A standup comedian and “Saturday Night Live” cast member known for her manic comedic persona, Ms. Jones made a splash on social media during the Olympics with her enthusiastic live-tweeting of the Rio games’ early events.

She eventually traveled to Rio to take in the games in person, witnessing both Michael Phelps and Simone Biles win gold medals and delighting many a U.S. Olympian with her enthusiastic, all-in patriotic support of Team USA.
