J.K. Rowling has remained silent on social media for nearly two weeks following her inclusion in a lawsuit filed by Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who alleges online harassment stemming from Rowling's comments during the 2024 Olympics. Khelif, who has faced scrutiny regarding her gender identity, has stated that the harassment from high-profile figures, including Rowling and Elon Musk, significantly affected her emotionally. The lawsuit, which claims cyberbullying, could result in criminal sanctions for those implicated. Rowling's last active posts on X included controversial remarks about women’s sports and gender identity, which have drawn widespread criticism. While some speculate that her silence is due to the legal complaint, others suggest it may simply be a hiatus from social media. The ongoing debate over gender identity in sports continues to polarize public opinion and impact athletes personally.
