George Zimmerman's parents are suing actress Roseanne Barr in Florida, claiming a Twitter post she made listing their address and telephone number forced them to flee their home.
Robert and Gladys Zimmerman filed the lawsuit on Monday. It seeks undisclosed damages for emotional distress and invasion of privacy.
The Zimmermans say they were forced to flee their home after Barr posted their address and telephone number about a month after their son shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. They also claim they were forced into hiding.
Barr later deleted the tweet. A spokesman for the actress did not immediately return an email or voicemail seeking comment.
Zimmerman was acquitted last summer of second-degree murder. On Wednesday, attorneys in his divorce case released a video interview with Zimmerman, in which he spoke in his own words for about 21 minutes, saying he's trying to be a good person and wishes the public would allow him to have a "clean slate."
