Over the weekend, Jessica Albaโ€™s name became trending on social media for an unusual reason.

She slept through the hijacking of her account by anonymous trolls, who posted heinous comments on her behalf.

Jessicaโ€™s account, which typically contains nothing but links to her Instagram page, posted a series of racially-charged tweets to her nine million followers between midnight and 1 AM PT.

One comment read: โ€œUgh, police sirens in the distance again. When will n*****s stop committing crimes so I can get some fucking sleep?โ€

And, in a bizarre tweet to President Donald Trump, Albaโ€™s account also demanded the release of rapper YMW Melly, who is currently incarcerated and awaiting trial for a double homicide.

The Fantastic Four star and her team apparently regained control of the page within an hour and deleted the comments.

Albaโ€™s fans were flooding Jessicaโ€™s mentions in the hopes that she woke up in time to figure out this mess.
