JK Rowling Slams John Oliver for Being "Anti-women" In Social Media Rant – ryan
If there’s one thing that John Oliver Does well, it’s Managing to Spark the Ie of Harry Potter author Jk rolling When he goes on one of his rants about those on the right want to ban transgender athletes in women’s sports. The Last week tonight Host was at it again this past weekend on HBO, reigniting his and rowling’s feud from last November, which this time saw the writer take to social media to slam oliver as someone whose views are “fashionably anti-women.”
Oliver’s position seems to be that the right’s “obsession” with banning transgender athletes in women’s sports, especially at the high school level, make no sense whatsoever because, as he puts it, “we have no research Performance in contrast. ” His main argument is that the “bigger and stronger bodies” of males are not an advantage in every situation, and he pointed to dwayne “the rock” Johnson trying to participate in a pure barre class as an example.
“We know what would happen. He’d take a video of himself, caption it, ‘mad respect to these mamas. Everyone go see moana 2,’ and try to use it to sell his tequila before Eating 13,000 Pancakes and Drinking a Cow.”

David Tennant Responds to ‘Harry Potter’ Casting Chances with a Candid Swipe at JK Rowling
David tennant has reminded everyone of his fractured relationship with the ‘Harry Potter’ author.
After the segment Aired, Rowling took to social media to take shots at Oliver, saying that he “sold out” by taking the stance he had on the subject. At the same time, she also-possibly-referred to herself as “anti-science,” which is a bit of a weird thing to admit, but there you have it:
“I understand why men like oliver, who’ve consistently mocked anti-science people on the right, sold out initially. They didnnt to blow up their careers. Taking fashionable anti-women’s rights positions were the cost of doing business.
Both John Oliver and JK Rowling are now under the same umbrella
With Last week tonight now in its season 12 run on hbo, it will be interesting to see what happens when rowling joins the family as an executive producer on the new Harry Potter Series being developed for the network. Oliver’s show is expected to run through the 2026 season, which is when HBOs Adaptation of Rowling’s Novels is set to start airing.
Will she try to throw her weight around and make execs at Warner Bros. Not Renew Oliver’s Contract? It’s doubtful, but even if she did, it would take a lot more than that for the host to be canceled, as Last week tonight is a consistent performer for HBO, has won 30 Primetime Emmy Awards, and Garners a ton of Social Media Traffic, which in Turn draws more eyeballs to it each week.
If anything, Oliver will have a lot more material to work with if this new Harry Potter Adaptation fails to succeed, or even if it stumbles in the slightest. Either way, it’s clear that both he and rowing will never see eye-toee on the transgender issue, which definitely makes for some interesting moments like the one above.
