J.K. Rowling Receives Severe Backlash From Harry Potter Fans After Attacking David Tennant

The author mocked the ‘Doctor Who’ star on the election of the new Tory leader.

J.K. Rowling recently faced a wave of criticism over a tweet about David Tennant that followed Kemi Badenoch’s appointment as the new leader of the Conservative Party.

The writer’s controversial X post read, “My thoughts and prayers are with David Tennant at this very difficult time,” responding to Badenoch’s victory.

The tweet referred to Tennant’s acceptance speech at a British LGBT Award, where he criticized Badenoch’s stance on trans rights by saying he wished she would ‘shut up.’ The politician was behind the proposal to modify the Equality Act to protect single-sex spaces in the U.K.

Many came to the actor’s defense following Rowling’s post, highlighting his long-standing support for the LGBT community. “As if David Tennant gives a toss about what Badenoch or indeed you think. He’s too busy being a national treasure and award-winning actor,” one person wrote. “You’re such a bitter woman. Go and have some fun with your billions ffs,” another fan added.

J.K. Rowling repeatedly made headlines with her controversial opinions on trans rights, often getting backlash over them online. Meanwhile, Tennant’s actively supported gender inclusivity on and off-stage. His wife, Georgia Tennant, highlighted that by revealing last year their child identifies with non-binary pronouns.
