Vince Bucci/Invision for the Television Academy/AP ImagesLeslie Jones has enlisted the help of the Ernst & Young accountants to safeguard her personal accounts.
In a comedic bit that echoed last year's skit featuring the team tasked with keeping the 2016 Emmys' winners list top secret, the comedian addressed for the first time the recent hacking scandal that blasted her nude photos and private documents online.
"Thank you so much Ernst & Young," Jones said onstage, adding, "I don't know who this third dude is, but I really appreciate all of the hard work you do."
She continued, "But let's be real. Y'all protected something that no one is trying to steal. Don't nobody want to know about boring Emmys' secrets. But since you good at keeping things safe I got a job for you: My Twitter account!"
"Put that in the vault, please! Y'all over her using your skills to protect Best Voice Over in a French Sitcom? Meanwhile I'm butt naked on CNN. I just wanted to feel beautiful, y'all. Can a sister feel beautiful?" the Ghostbusters actress pleaded.
In late August, Jones website, JustLeslie.com, went dark after being plastered with copies of Jones' driver's license and passport. The site also featured several purportedly stolen naked photos of the Saturday Night Live star.
Jones, who was previously a victim of online abuse and succeeded in getting a racist Twitter troll suspended, had yet to comment publicly on the hack until tonight. She's felt the support of many close friends and fellow celebrities throughout the incident, and from tonight's appearance, has come out of it stronger than ever.
We applaud you, Leslie.
