Actress Leslie Jones is Ikaw Lang Ang Mahalbasically a pro at dealing with internet trolls.
Back in 2016, Jones was viciously attacked on the internet in connection with the release of the Ghostbusters reboot. Her website was hacked, alleged nude photos of her were leaked, and outspoken alt-righters like Milo Yiannopoulos started a hate brigade directed at the comedian.

Tran, who plays Rose Tico in The Last Jedi, silently deleted her Instagram posts earlier this month, causing many to blame relentless online harassment from angry Star Wars fans unhappy with the franchise's inclusive direction.
"Do you have any advice for Star Wars: The Last Jedistar Kelly Marie Tran, who is facing the same kind of harassment?" reporter Seth Abramovitch asked Jones.
'... definitely do not take that shit personal.'
"I would tell her definitely do not take that shit personal," Jones said. "It don't have nothing to do with her. And I wouldn't have turned my damn account off."
Jones continued, adding that Tran should make the social networks responsible for the harassment that's happening on their platforms.
"What I would do is screenshot every one of them [offensive attacks] because when you do, they stop doing that shit. Trust me. And then also make Twitter and Instagram responsible for that shit. What, you gonna have a public fight club?"
This is a sentiment Jones has shared publicly before, and helped highlight much of the abuse she was receiving back in 2016.

Jones ended the answer to the question with a very 2018 reflection:
"What the fuck is wrong with people? And this honestly is a result of our society being an unhealthy society."
Be a good internet person, people.
