J.K. Rowling, the renowned author of the Harry Potter series, has been named in a lawsuit by Olympic boxer Imane Khelif. Following the lawsuit, Rowling deleted 27 tweets and remained silent on the social media platform X for two weeks. The legal action stems from criticism Rowling faced over her comments about the Algerian boxer. Despite the ongoing legal issues, Rowling has returned to the platform, sharing writings related to the boxer and indicating her intent to continue expressing her views.
