TV star Roseanne Barr is being sued by George Zimmerman's parents over claims she forced them into hiding by posting their address on Twitter.

Robert Zimmerman Sr. and his wife, Gladys, filed a lawsuit Monday alleging that the 61-year-old comedian tried to "incite a lynch mob to descend" on their Lake Mary, Fla., home.

They say the actress made them leave their property in the middle of the night two years ago, on March 29, 2012, after they feared they'd become the victims of "vigilante justice."

It was a month after their son George killed unarmed black teen Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. But he had not yet been arrested.

Barr revealed the location of their home to her thousands of followers, though George Zimmerman was not living with his parents and they had nothing to do with the shooting.

She then followed it up with several other messages, including: "If Zimmerman isn't arrested I'll rt (re-tweet) his address again maybe go 2 his house myself."

Her actions, they claim, "intentionally inflicted emotional distress" and violated Twitters terms and conditions that ban the publication of confidential information.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that the couple is seeking unspecified damages.

Zimmerman was arrested in Martin's death but was acquitted by a jury of second degree murder.
