Daisy Ridley quits Instagram after harassment

Ridley captioned the photo saying she was moved by the teenage family members of victims who were killed in the Orlando, San Bernardino and Newtown shootings. A Facebook post with the same caption and photo was also shared, and has since been deleted. “Thinking about how lucky I am like......... Serious bit: as I sat in the audience yesterday [Teen Choice Awards] tears were streaming down my face at the tribute to those that have been lost to gun violence. I didn’t get a great picture of the incredible group that came onstage but they were so brave. It was a true moment of togetherness." Ridley, who starred as Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, soon deleted the post after commenters attacked her for speaking against gun ownership and accused her of hypocrisy due to the violence in The Force Awakens. Ridley is not the first celebrity to step away from social media due to an onslaught of vicious negativity. Ghostbusters reboot star Leslie Jones personally talked to Twitter founder Jack Dorsey after she took a break from the platform because she was bombarded with hateful, racist comments around the time the film was coming out.
