JK Rowling shares threat: ‘Address of family and photo of pipe bomb’ | Stars

entertainment">“My family’s address (painted), a pipe bomb and a photo of a manual on how to make a bomb. The account will of course remain active.” The reactions to the tweet show that Twitter has since removed the account, although the username shown in the photo can still be found. This user indicates that she is not the one who sent the threat to JK Rowling.

entertainment">Followers massively support the Harry Potter creator. Her tweet has received more than 4,000 responses, including many messages of support; has been retweeted over ten thousand times and has nearly 50,000 likes. The transgender whose tweets she shared also responded: “Hope you’re doing well, Jo. I’m sorry they’re doing this when you’re just standing up for us detransitioners† Detransitioners refer to transgender people who want to regain their original gender and identity.

entertainment">The writer also received numerous death threats at the end of 2021 when her home address was shared by activists on social media. That’s all because at the end of 2019 she responded to an article that featured the description ‘people who menstruate’. She joked that there was a word for that after all, referring to women. Critics criticized Rowling for “because transgender men can menstruate too.”
