After the ruling, Rowling posted a photo of herself smoking a cigar and holding a drink, with the caption 'I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.'
Pedro Pascal has called out J.K. Rowling for her “heinous loser behavior” after the Harry Potter author shared a celebratory post following a U.K. court decision ruling about the definition of “woman.”
The Last of Us actor commented on a video posted to Instagram, calling for a boycott of Rowling’s Potter franchise after she was “reveling” in the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling on April 16, which claimed that a woman is someone born biologically female, excluding transgender people from the legal definition.
Activist Tariq Ra’ouf shared the video on social media on April 17 after the U.K. Supreme Court’s ruling under the U.K. Equality Act, which means trans women can be excluded from some groups and single-sex spaces such as changing rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas and medical or counselling services provided only to women.
Pascal commented on the video, writing, “Awful disgusting S— is exactly right. Heinous LOSER behavior.”
In the video, Ra’ouf explained that Rowling financially backed the campaign group For Women Scotland, which brought the case to the Scottish government to exclude transgender people from the legal definition.
After the ruling on April 16, Rowling posted a photo of herself on X, smoking a cigar and holding a drink. The author wrote: “I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.”
Rowling, who reportedly donated tens of thousands of dollars to For Women Scotland, said she was “so proud” of the “extraordinary, tenacious” campaigners who took the case on a years-long battle through the courts.
