JK Rowling Hits Back at Death Wish Comments
26 Aug
Summary
- Rowling responded to a critic wishing death upon her.
- She posted a tribute to Dolly Parton praising her charity work.
- Rowling also engaged with critics questioning her stance.
J.K. Rowling recently responded to intense backlash on X after posting a tribute to the late Dolly Parton. Rowling had praised Parton's "Imagination Library" for its contribution to child literacy, recalling a past encounter with the country music icon. However, given Parton's history of LGBTQ+ advocacy, Rowling's message drew criticism.
One prominent critic posted, "It should have been you," referencing a death wish directed at Rowling. The "Harry Potter" author shared the comment, advising on how to avoid being blocked by users who publicly state their intentions. Rowling also confronted other negative comments, including one calling her a "f-king monster" and another attempting to link Parton to Donald Trump, with Rowling dismissing the latter assertion strongly.
