NBC Resolves Leslie Jones' Olympics Tweeting Issue - Read the Statement

Leslie Jones told fans this weekend that the 2022 Beijing Olympics might mark her final time live tweeting the games.

The former Saturday Night Live actress seemingly suggested that NBC was trying to block her from giving her commentary on the social media app.

For those who don’t know, Leslie usually will record her TV screen and show footage of NBC’s coverage of the Olympics while adding her own audio commentary.

Based on the statement released by NBC, it seems Leslie‘s videos were getting copyright take-down notices, which probably led her to believe that the network was going after her.

A spokesperson for NBC told the Associated Press that Leslie‘s videos were blocked because of a “third-party error” and not NBC.

The rep said, “We have resolved the situation. She is free to do her social media posts as she has done in the past. She is a super fan of the Olympics and we are super fans of her.”

We can’t wait to see more of Leslie‘s tweets!
