Dear Leslie Jones,

😢
I fucking can’t. Goddammit, I’m so sorry to hear what is happening to you right now, and I am crying for you. It is racist, it is sexist, and it makes me sick to my stomach. I fucking hate the fact that there are people out there who get off on terrorizing people. I’d love to be able to say to myself: “Thank god, human beings aren’t capable of doing something like that.”

But we are. And we do.

Whoever did this is garbage. Their reasons for doing it are garbage. That they felt empowered to do it is garbage. That they’ll get away with it is garbage. The world we now live in where unjust harassment can so effortlessly persist and escalate, unobstructed, is garbage.

But you have one thing on those trolls. You are strong, girl. You’ve worked so hard to get where you are, and you need to hold on to that thought for dear life. You are guilty of nothing more than being hilarious, being an inspiration for finding success at any age, and being a badass bitch.

I know it’s fucking rough, and you probably feel like crawling into a deep dark hole and never resurfacing. That it probably feels like it can’t get any better. But it will, I promise. You’ll prove to yourself just how tough and resilient you can be. And those fuckers can go on and drink the haterade.

All my love,
Mick
