Comedian Leslie Jones might give up her enthusiastic live tweets about the Olympics, citing mounting pressure from higher-ups allegedly trying to stop her. But NBC Sports says it was all just a mix-up.
The former “Saturday Night Live” star, whose seasonal, awe-inspired commentary online is a highlight of the global Games, said that she is “tired of fighting the folks who don’t want me to do it.”
“They block my videos and they get folks who think they can do it like me. And I’m tired of fighting them,” Jones wrote Sunday on Twitter and Instagram.
