Leslie Jones of “Ghostbusters” and “SNL” fame shut down her website Wednesday after it was hacked and nude pictures that were stolen from her iCloud account were posted publicly, according to widespread reports.

Jones’ team took down JustLeslie.com around 9 a.m., said TMZ, which has a screen grab of a portion of the hacked site.

Her passport and driver’s license — the latter presumably showing her home address — were also reportedly posted, along with a video of Harambe, the gorilla to which Jones was cruelly compared after it was shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo in May after a child got into an enclosure.

The nudes included mirror selfies and a shot of Jones naked in bed, plus graphic sexual images that did not show the face of the person in them, Gossip Cop said. Also included were personal selfies of the actress with the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

Reps for Jones did not immediately reply to The Times’ requests for comment.

The 48-year-old has been a target of social-media abuse in recent months, especially around the release of the all-female reboot of “Ghostbusters.” While all four lead cast members were slammed online, Jones retweeted some of the hateful comments when the movie hit theaters in July. Most of them were misogynist or racist, with trolls calling the comedienne an “ape” and a “savage.” Then she took a brief hiatus from Twitter.

“I feel like I’m in a personal hell. I didn’t do anything to deserve this. It’s just too much. It shouldn’t be like this. So hurt right now,” she tweeted in July.
