http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/l ... li=BBnb7Kz Leslie Jones Accuses Ritz-Carlton of Racism: ‘They Don’t Like Black People’ The specter of racism has apparently descended on Leslie Jones' life again. "Saturday Night Live" alum Jones took to Twitter to complain of her stay at the Ritz-Carlton while hosting the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, accusing employees of the hotel of racism. "Wow was such a great night at the BET awards," Jones wrote. "But then had THE WORST STAY @RitzCarlton DO NOT STAY THERE!! THEY DONT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE!!" Jones did not elaborate on the accusation. TheWrap has reached out to her manager for comment. After Jones made the claim, the hotel reached out to her via Twitter to say that it would "look into this right away." "@Lesdoggg We're sorry to hear this," the high-end chain tweeted. "We pride ourselves on providing excellent service to all. Please DM us & we'll look into this right away." While Jones did not detail what she found to be offensive about her stay at the hotel, she's encountered enough racism to know it when she sees it. Last year, Jones temporarily quit Twitter "with tears," after she was repeatedly bombared with racist and misogynistic comments following her cating in the "Ghostbusters" reboot. "I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart. All this cause I did a movie," Jones wrote at the time. "You can hate the movie but the s** I got today ... wrong." She returned to the social media platform after alt-right darling Milo Yiannopoulos, who was accused of leading a harassment campaign against her, was permanently banned by Twitter. "Welp ... a b**** thought she could stay away," Jones tweeted. "But who else is going to live tweet Game of Thrones!!" If you're going to publicly accuse a business of being racist, you should probably say why you're making the accusation. Maybe she did something a staff member didn't like and they replied to her in a negative way. In today's world, though, that means the person you annoyed doesn't like you, it means they don't like anyone of your ethnicity and/or gender. |

I saw her guesting on $100,000 Pyramid with LL Cool Jay (so much ridiculousness in that sentence). Jay was excellent at the game, using words to describe the catch phrase. Jones could barely speak, flailing her arms around hoping to describe the word. She said at the end that she wasn't going to get beat by a rapper. Jay looked like he wanted to rip her arms off and beat her with the bloody limbs. |

LL was very good and she was, based on her performances on SNL, pretty much what you'd expect. Her success baffles me. |

More than a douchebag of the week. Leslie Jones is an unfunny, unlikable, unwatchable man. |
