Leslie Jones Demands Women Be Respected ‘as F—ing Humans’


Leslie Jones, who will be hosting Variety’s Power of Women gala, speaks out about "the impact that women have had on this whole world"

The event, in partnership with Lifetime, will honor Amy Adams, Bela Bajaria, Carol Burnett and Zoe Saldaña, and highlights female leaders in the entertainment industry, who are profiled in the Women’s Impact Report. She thinks back to when she was filming “Ghostbusters” in 2016 alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth. She would watch McCarthy and how she’d look out for herself on set, checking out the monitor and kindly but strongly telling director Paul Feig that she didn’t like an angle.
