Nabil Boudi, the Paris-based attorney of Khelif, confirmed to Variety that both figures were mentioned in the body of the complaint, posted to the anti-online hatred center of the Paris public prosecutor’s office on Friday.
The lawsuit was filed against X, which under French law means that it was filed against unknown persons. That “ensure[s] that the ‘prosecution has all the latitude to be able to investigate against all people,” including those who may have written hateful messages under pseudonyms, said Boudi. The complaint nevertheless mentions famously controversial figures.
On X, Rowling posted a photo of Khelif and Carini. In the photo Khelif looks like she’s patting a crying Carini on the back. But that’s not what Rowling sees.
“Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better?” Rowling posted. “The smirk of a male who’s [sic] knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered.”
Of course, once Rowling learned that Khelif is not a man, she apologized…. Ha. Just kidding.
X user @YourAnonNews posted, “Imane Khelif should sue every single account and outlet saying she is trans. Assholes are putting her life at risk, it is illegal in her country to be trans. The continuance of the blatant trans lie continues unfettered on Twitter.”
Rowling responded to this with, “The idea that those objecting to a male punching a female in the name of sport are objecting because they believe Khelif to be ‘trans’ is a joke. We object because we saw a male punching a female.”
Fuck Joanne, that asshole has been lawyer bullying UK citizens critical of her transphobia for years and I’m glad to see someone finally slap her ass with a lawsuit. I hope she gets taken to the cleaners.
Good. Lets hope all these olympic lawsuits are the death knell for twitter. Musk has turned it into nothing but a hellsite. Before he took over, shit like what JK Rowling spews would have gotten her permabanned from it.
Conservatives want GENITAL INSPECTORS at School to be SURE your Daughter or Son is using the Right bathroom but also people who have Vaginas ARENT Female so why have Genital Inspectors again?
The same type of right-winger as JKR and EM now are used to accuse the Williams sisters of being men. The same type of right-winger JKR and EM now are used to accuse Michelle Obama of being a man.
Strange how its mostly always women of colour who have these utterly baseless accusations leveled at them by right-wingers like JKR and EM. And when I say 'strange' I mean its not strange at all and is deliberate.
Y'all don't even know what fascism is, and still keep using that word. Typical 'murica shit. That is not fascism, that is called having an opinion, however shitty it is. This kind of shit borders on censorship, and again, I want to underline that I don't like either of them or their opinion.
Honestly, the French can go suck a baguette. The fact that something like this can be done for internet speech is just ridiculous, and I don't even like either Rowling nor Musk.
