J.K. Rowling Reported To Police By Former ‘Big Brother’ Contestant Over “Transphobia”; Rowling Says She Has Harassment Claim Against Presenter


A simmering, years-long row between JK Rowling and broadcaster India Willoughby has spilled over into a police complaint.

Willoughby, who has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK and co-hosted shows including Loose Women, said she had reported Rowling to Northumbria Police in recent days. In a series of posts on X, Rowling hit back, arguing that she had been advised by lawyers that Willoughby’s “obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment.” “Aware as I am that it’s an offence to lie to law enforcement, I’ll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can’t compel women to take him at his own valuation.”
