Filmmaker Paul Feig says he disapproves of Sony's decision to delete the post from the official Twitter account of his "Ghostbusters" that seemingly showed support for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The tweet in question showed Kate McKinnon's character with a message that read, "Boo-yah, we smashed your glass ceiling. There was a ghost behind it. #ImWithHer #BustTheCeiling #Ghostbusters."
Reacting to its removal, Feig, 53, told The Wrap, "This is the first I'm hearing about this but I guarantee that none of us - producers or filmmakers - would have taken this tweet down."
"We are pro-woman and all about smashing the glass ceiling and we support the message of this deleted tweet. And I personally am very much pro-Hillary."
Meanwhile, Sony said, "The tweet was never intended to be a political endorsement."
The studio explained that "it was a shout-out to our own glass ceiling-busters," referring to the film's stars McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and Leslie Jones.
