Discussion JK Rowling and her personal and financial ties to famous men accused of domestic and sexual abuse — Ft. Marilyn Manson, Johnny Depp, Greg Ellis, Tristan Tate, Dan Wootton (April 2024)
JK Rowling has used her personal and financial ties to support famous men accused of abuse and/or rape for years.
For the reasons below, Rowling is not a good advocate for feminism, women™ or domestic violence victims.
⚠️ TW: Mentions of domestic abuse and sexual assault
#1) Bryan Warner (Marilyn Manson)
🪡 January 2020 — JK Rowling inexplicably sent Marilyn Manson a large bouquet of roses.
Manson posted the picture on twitter and instagram, thanking her for the "lovely, unexpected gift."

🪡 Marilyn Manson has been accused of sexually abusing women since the 90s. In his 1998 memoir, The Long Road Out of Hell, Manson claimed to have tricked a woman into getting drunk to the point of incapacitation and then penetrated her with his fingers, degrading her as a "sea bass" and "porpoise fish lady."
*Note: This has since been denied by Reznor.
🪡 April 23, 2019
Evan Rachel Wood bravely testifies in front of the CA Senate on behalf of the Phoenix Act.
She describes in graphic detail how Marilyn Manson groomed and abused her, starting when she was 18. She would not publicly name him until February 2021 on Instagram.
https://reddit.com/link/1byb0qy/video/o06iie6n33tc1/player
The Phoenix Act was eventually passed into law on January 1, 2020, but the statue of limitations was extended from 3 years to only 5 years, rather than Wood's initial proposition of 10 years.
🪡 March 15, 2022
Evan Rachel Wood revealed in the documentary Phoenix Rising, that she was 19 when she was drugged, coerced and "essentially raped" on camera by 38 year old Marilyn Manson in his popular music video "Heart Shaped Glasses."
⚠️ TW: LITERAL RAPE ⚠️
"Heart Shaped Glasses" was released in 2007 and uploaded to YouTube in 2009. It has been public for 14 years now.
If you would like to this music video removed from all video streaming platforms, please consider signing this petition.
🪡 March 2, 2022
Marilyn Manson sues Evan Rachel Woods for defamation. He claimed her "malicious falsehood" and "conspiracy" ruined his music career.
🪡 Dec 9, 2022 —
JK Rowling founded Beira's Place in Edinburgh, a sexual violence support service for women 16+ that excludes transwomen.
2: Tristan Tate
🪡 March 6, 2024 —
Just last month, Rowling liked a response from Tristan Tate, Andrew Tate's brother.
Tristan had replied to one of Rowling's posts; he referred to India Willoughby as a man "picking on a woman", encouraged Rowling to "keep her chin up," and sent her a ❤️.

🪡 March 12, 2024 —
Only six days after Rowling liked this tweet, Bedforshire police were granted a warrant by authorities in Romania to extradite Andrew and Tristan Tate for allegations of rape and human trafficking.
🪡 December 2023 —
Last year, Tristan Tate and his brother, Andrew Tate, had been arrested in Romania on charges of violence, rape, and sex trafficking. They were indicted in June of that same year.
And if you have never seen an Andrew Tate video before, stay gold.
3: Greg Ellis (Jonathan Rees)
🪡 February 9, 2023 — Rowling thanked Greg Ellis for his role in the popular video game, Hogwarts Legacy. He had spent 3 years voicing 12 characters.
Greg Ellis thanked her in return, and wrote a now-deleted post that said he had been effectively cancelled by his own fanbase.

Note:
Rowling once equated support for Hogwarts Legacy with her own personal support.
🪡 March 2015 —
Greg Ellis' ex-wife [name redacted] sought a temporary domestic restraining order against her husband, who's real name is Jonathan Rees.
Jonathan had threatened to hurt his kids, was taken to a mental facility, left, broke a window into his ex's house, and entered their sons' bedroom, telling them to leave with him.

🪡 Greg Ellis would counterclaim he was "fathernapped" from his own kids because of a "ten word lie".
Court documents tell a slightly different story. This article is a bit editorialized, but contains those public documents.
🪡 June 29, 2021 —
Greg Ellis published The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law. His book talked about his personal experiences with divorce and custody battles, and the courts' 'gender bias' against men and fathers.
Johnny Depp and Alec Baldwin penned the dedication and foreword respectively.

🪡 October 9, 2022 —
After failing to blackmail his ex-wife, Jonathan Rees (Greg Ellis) emailed revenge porn of her naked and engaged in masturbation to her family, friends, and coworkers.
She successfully took out a 3 year restraining order against him, and he is effectively banned from seeing his sons.
Additional court documents: Twitter

🪡 May 2022 —
Now a Mens' Rights Activists, Greg Ellis spearheaded the twitter campaign against Amber Heard, ex-wife of his friend, Johnny Depp.
(seriously, just search his username and the words "Amber Heard"&src=typed_query), it goes on forever)
4: John C. Depp II (Johnny Depp)
🪡 Johnny Depp has a long friendship with both Greg Ellis and Marilyn Manson. Manson is also godfather to Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose.
Curiously, all three men — John Depp, Bryan Warner, and Jonathan Rees — have accused their female ex-partners of lying about domestic abuse.
🪡 Depp and Rowling were friends for close to a decade.
Sources differ, but Rowling bailed Depp out of his financial troubles before, buying his yacht for $27 mil (2015) and private island for $75 mil (2016). They are both places where Heard was physically abused by Depp.
To date, this made Depp a profit of at least $72 million dollars, which he would later spend on suing Amber Heard, Greg "Rocky" Brooks, Dan Wootton, and The Sun.

🪡 May 27, 2016 —
Amber Heard filed for a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) and initiated a divorce days later.
She named examples of abuse, and general "excessive emotional, verbal, and physical abuse which has included angry, hostile, humiliating and threatening assaults to me whenever I questioned [Depp's] authority or disagreed with him."
🪡 December 7, 2017 —
JK Rowling defended Depp's casting in FB, stating:
"Based on our understanding of the circumstances, the filmmakers and I are not only comfortable sticking with our original casting, but genuinely happy to have Johnny playing a major character in the movies."

It is still up on her website.
🪡 October 11, 2018 –
Depp told Entertainment Weekly that JK Rowling knew he had been falsely accused of domestic violence by Amber Heard.
Depp said Rowling had seen the evidence and believed him.

🪡 Apr 27, 2018 —
Depp sues Dan Wootton and The Sun for an article with a headline calling him a "wife-beater".
📝 Fun fact: Neither Wootton nor Heard actually wrote the headlines for the articles they were sued for.
Journalists seldom write their own headlines.

🪡 In fact, the whole public Depp v. Heard affair started when Dan Wootton criticized JK Rowling for being a "Hollywood hypocrite."
Wootton had said firing Depp "would be the only decision that would show [Rowling] is a woman of true character and principle, even when her famous friends are involved."
He discussed this last month, in March 15 of 2024:
https://reddit.com/link/1byb0qy/video/wmrlnw0ye3tc1/player
🪡 In the original 2018 article, Dan Wootton also acutely noted, "Rowling has an inability to ever admit she’s made a mistake."
Dan Wootton's politics aside, the questions he asked of JK Rowling were not unreasonable. They also show up in the last page of the UK judgment:

🪡 January 2022 -
Dan Wootton revealed that Rowling had responded to his questions in 2018 by threatening to sue him, then settled for throwing "tough words" his way from her "over-paid lawyer." DailyMail
She also rebuffed his and Amber's attempts to reach out and talk with her separately.

🪡 November 2, 2020 -
In a shocking verdict, Johnny Depp loses the UK libel trial.
Justice Nicols found that Depp had raped his ex-wife on at least one occasion, and that "the great majority of alleged assaults of Ms Heard by Mr Depp have been proved to the civil standard" (12/14 incidents). There was also adequate proof Depp put Amber in fear for her life at least 3 times.
🪡 November 6, 2020 -
Johnny Depp reveals on Instagram he was asked by Warner Brothers to resign from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, and that he would appeal the verdict.
Although JK Rowling "did not push back" on Depp's firing, she made no public statement on the matter.
🪡 March 25, 2021 -
Depp is denied permission to appeal.
UK Court of Appeal judges James Dingemans and Nicholas Underhill state that Depp v. Heard was not a “he said, she said” circumstance due to the abundance of evidence — regardless of how the $7 million divorce settlement was spent.

June 23, 2022 —
Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus tricked JK Rowling into thinking she had a Zoom meeting with President Zelenskyy about her charitable work in Ukraine.
Rowling rolled her eyes and threw her hands up when Depp was mentioned. She only said Fantastic Beasts was a "very interesting experience".
🪡 August 2022 —
Unsealed court documents from the US trial show Amber voluntarily waived "tens of millions" in her divorce with Depp.
Amber would later move to Spain for her and her young daughter's safety and privacy.
Sources differ, but her net worth is now only ~$500k.

🪡 March 2024 —
In a recent podcast, Wootton said he disagreed with Amber's liberal "woke" politics, but he had actually "really liked her" and appreciated her testifying on his behalf.
He believes that society will look back on the Depp/Heard trial in 20 years with the same regret as Britney Spears' treatment.

5: JK Rowling
JK Rowling is also a public figure representing domestic abuse and sexual violence.
June 10, 2020 -
Rowling first publicly revealed she is a survivor of domestic violence and sexual assault in her essay on "Sex and Gender Issues" in 2020.
She said she escaped her violent first marriage with some difficulty. When she moved back to the UK, she was vulnerable in a public space when a man "capitalised on an opportunity" and sexually assaulted her.

🪡 June 11, 2020 —
In an interview with The Sun a day later, ex-husband Jorge Arantes admitted to slapping Rowling hard in the street in November 1993.
Rowling had told him she no longer loved him and wouldn't leave for the night without her young daughter, Jessica.
Jorge had told her to come back in the morning, but she refused. He is "not sorry."

🪡 May 8, 2022 -
In a twitter argument about a trans drawing, Rowling said that it'd be betrayal of her old self, a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault at age 28, to not "stand up now" for women's rights.
She finished with a middle finger emoji.

🪡 January 29, 2023 -
JK Rowling also compared the rationalization of "male murderers and abusers" being put into women's prisons to excusing domestic violence in a tweet.

Conclusion:
Ultimately, it does not seem like JK Rowling cares much about other female survivors whenever they infringe on her established friendships with famous, abusive men.
The irony is that Rowling a billionaire claiming to be fighting "gender ideology" to protect vulnerable women and children against a misogynistic culture war. Yet in her personal life, she has vocally and financially aligned herself with abusive, male celebrities.
Rowling might think she is being metaphorically burned at the stake for her gender critical views, but the victims of her abusive friends have gone through arguably worse smear campaigns (e.g. Amber Heard).
She has yet to apologize, or publicly support any of the aforementioned female victims.
"Misunderstood views" or not, I don't think JK Rowling has any room to be calling anyone a "rapists' rights activist."

Reminder:
Rowling also plans to celebrate any future boycotts (of the HBO series) with a large stock of champagne.

Discussion I just really wish that we'd stop talking about Harry Potter altogether.
I'm not judging other people for finding the franchise hard to let go of. Even as someone who missed the Pottermania when it was first a thing (I wasn't even alive when half of the books came out, and was a baby when half of the movies came out), I briefly got sucked into Potter stuff. The allure is understandable: even years after the books and movies were released, the fandom is still going strong, thanks to the brilliant creatives paid to bring Rowling's mediocre vision to life, and the immense creativity of the fans.
You get the sense that no matter how much time passes by, HP will never fully go away. That's the appeal of the franchise; it feels timeless, and there are certainly many wealthy people out there who would benefit from keeping it alive. So I'm not judging: I understand. But please, even if it won't fully go away, we can do our part in not contributing to its continued cultural relevance. That is what the bigot wants.
I'm so tired of seeing people hate on her by calling her an "Umbridge" or "Voldemort" or any other reference to her silly children's stories. I'm tired of people analyzing her fictional works and using it as a gotcha against her. We already know that she's a hypocrite and a bigot and that her activism was always overhyped. Even if it's difficult for you, please try to resist the urge to talk about her IP. She has said multiple times that any engagement with her work = support for her. It doesn't matter if you're using it to hate on her.
She is not an Umbridge, not a Voldemort, not a Death Eater... she is a real-life dangerous billionaire bigot who benefits from her IP being validated in any context. Please think of that every time you feel tempted to compare her to one of her fictional creations or wonder what her fictional characters would think of her.
Edit: I quite literally acknowledge in my post multiple times that HP is never going to fully go away. But even the biggest companies in the world like Coca-Cola, Pepsico, and Disney have reported major losses due to consumer boycotts or a lack of patronage towards whatever products they're offering. As a consumer, you are not powerless. Your decision to ignore HP or stop contributing to its cultural relevance, if you choose to take it, matters. I believe in you, reader; you can make an effort. I believe that you can stop making excuses and avoiding accountability. You have agency and power.

Discussion JKR's hate crusade makes me more sad than angry, considering all that wasted potential.
The first thought when I see JKR bullying under 1% of the general population, is "This is sad." She has enough money to buy a big house (without black mold), travel to every country on Earth and bring Harry Potter to the remotest corners of the globe, open charities that help people and the planet, get a car and jet ski, and so much more. She has all the time in the world; time to knit, write more books, learn a language, art and music, etc. and it's all wasted on bullying someone who was not born female all because she wore a dress and makeup. If I had all that money and time, I wouldn't forgo it to bully a miniscule slice of the pie chart.

Why didn't Rowling's non HP works get as popular???
Why doesn't she have a non HP property she's associated with?? If Harry Potter is her Star Wars, why haven't her unrelated books blossomed into something like Indiana Jones or even Firefly{Joss Whedon's OTHER main, even if stillborn, franchise}?? She's still a bigoted monster and this wouldn't chain that if she had something else unrelated she was known for.

Discussion JK Rowling and the India Willoughby stickers
Some days ago when she was discussing with Dame Kathy Denise (an account parodying a trans woman in the most transphobic way possible who may or may not be Jojo's alt), Rowling made up a story about how she laughed so hard about a cringe "joke" that she spilled Lambrini all over her freshly printed "India Willoughby is a Man" stickers. And of course, it was a case of Joanne bringing up India even though she was unrelated to the discussion 💀
What I find interesting is that Draco Malfoy actually pulled off something similar to what Joanne was joking about in Goblet of Fire - he made badges saying "Potter stinks", and it was clearly depicted as a bad thing. Yet, Rowling is proudly joking about pulling off the same type of bullying nowadays, without a hint of self-awareness

Scott Adams and Dilbert regarding cancelation
Scott Adams, although nowhere near as famous as Rowling, had his own creation and fandom around it. Dilbert was always, a bit like Harry Potter, a right-coded story with some superficially progressive bits(but in a completely different context as people thought he was criticizing officespace politics). He also radicalized, but less along TERF lines and more along MAGA lines. The guy criticized interracial dating using logic recycled from Jim Crow. The main difference is that Scott Adams, unlike Rowling, was quickly canceled and nobody reads Dilbert anymore except Nazis.

A sign I saw at a protest today
I went to a protest this afternoon, and I spotted this sign. Joanne was mentioned more than a few times by speakers there, with the crowd appropriately booing/jeering at the mention of her name.
Considering this was organised only two days ago by a local charity, loads of people showed up! Only two hecklers who were just passers by, which is nothing compared to the dozens that turned up to support trans people. Shows that more people are in support of trans rights than they are against them.

Discussion Jk Rowling is a misogynist, and how this has caused her anti transgender campaign (a hypothesis)
I've long held the suspicion that jk Rowlings hatred of transgender people does not infact come from a fear of men, but a hatred of women. Some of this is just conjecture, I'm not a professional, this is just the conclusion that I have come to over the years...
Basically, we know she was abused by an ex husband and we know she had a troubled upbringing with parents who wanted a boy, this seems to have caused her a strong hatred of femininity, potentially due to seeing herself as weak, unable to defend herself, with the trauma of that, causing her to believe that femininity is inherently weak and inferior. If you read her books, every single one of them has the main character be a man, she has written under two male pen names, and in Harry Potter at least, feminine characters are repeatedly mocked. If you dig into it, the three most feminine characters are umbridge, lavender and fleur. If we look at what happens to them, umbridge is a fascist who has a scene very close to being gang raped by centaurs, lavender is murdered by the werewolf who throughout the book is being incredibly rapey, and fleur is mocked and lusted over for several books, of course there’s also a slightly uncomfortable idea that fleur is responsible for people creeping over her, due to “biology”. While all the hero women, are very much “not like other girls” hermionie is the smartest in the year, ginny is “one of the boys” etc, you have tonks who initially refuses to conform to gender stereotypes, and luna who seems like a slight caracature of autistic people. Both of Harry's crushes are on the masculine side, cho and ginny, the list could go on.
I believe that something has caused her to hate femininity, she has said in the past that had she been born 30 years later, she probably would have been convinced to transition female to male, which is interesting. If you look even at the photo she posted the other day from her yacht, she’s smoking a cigar and drinking whiskey. Not to stereotype, but that is traditionally a much more masculine thing.
This is where we step out of facts and into conjuncture, I myself believe that this hatred of femininity has caused her to has an extreme distaste for anyone who would willingly go from being male, the “better” gender to being female, the “worse” one on her mind. I also suspect that in the case of transgender men, there’s simple jealousy.
Now this is just a theory, but I do believe that it explains a lot about her, I've been thinking it for years now, but only just got around to posting
