Anna Kendrick's Twitter account is under siege — or, at the very least, was for a short time Saturday night. Shortly before 5:30 p.m. Pacific time, the account for the Noel star began to post a series of offensive messages embedded with racial slurs. Nearly 30 tweets were made from the account, and the actor's bio was changed for roughly half an hour. Sometime after 5:45 p.m., Kendrick's account seemingly returned to normal, with the tweets deleted and her bio returned to normal.

The actor's page had previously been promoting her New York Times Bestselling book Scrappy Little Nobody, a collection of personal essays she wrote. The last tweet Kendrick herself made appears to be on December 1st, after she retweeted a recent statement from Elliot Page.

"Elliot Page's words here are so beautiful and so eloquent, and he is reminding me that we can all be brave and joyful, even when things are scary," Kendrick wrote. "And this year, especially, that reminder is such a GIFT. Sending them love/praise/gratitude/well-wishes etc etc etc etc."

On the movie front, Kendrick last appeared in Trolls World Tour, the Universal that went straight to video earlier this year. The synopsis for that movie can be found below.

"Queen Poppy (Anna Kendrick), Branch (Justin Timberlake), and the rest of your favorite Trolls are back for another musical adventure that's bigger—and louder—than ever before! In TROLLS WORLD TOUR, Poppy and Branch discover that their kingdom is only one of six musical realms—Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop, and Rock—that were once united in perfect harmony. When the power-hungry ruler of the Rocker Trolls threatens to silence all other music so her tribe can reign supreme, Poppy and Branch must embark on an epic quest to unite the realms of Trollskind, before the songs in their hearts are lost forever! The film is currently available for early viewing on a wide variety of popular on-demand services as a premium rental offering."
