JK Rowling slams John Oliver after his show mocks right-wing fury over Trans athletes: "Read the F** Room"
The long-running disagreement between Harry Potter author JK Rowling and comedian John Oliver has resurfaced, this time reigniting over transgender participation in sports. Rowling fired back through a post on X (formerly Twitter), accusing Oliver of sacrificing principle for popularity. “I understand why men like Oliver, who’ve consistently mocked anti-science people on the right, sold out initially. They didn’t want to blow up their careers. Taking fashionable anti-women’s rights positions was the cost of doing business. But it’s time to read the f**** room.”
