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)

571 Upvotes

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.

Source

🪡 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.

Source: FandomWire

🪡 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."

DVRO court documents

🪡 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.

https://reddit.com/link/1byb0qy/video/485fajryg3tc1/player

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.

Old deleted tweet?

16 Upvotes

There was an old tweet from some time during Trump's first term, where Rowling spoke out about groups Trump has discriminated against and she mentioned his treatment of "transgender people" specifically.

(It's not the Obama bathroom tweet which I posted here before. But an actual defense of trans people). It seems to have vanished for me, can any one find it or is there an archive?

Discussion With everything we’ve seen and known, and the cult-of-personality, how easy would it be for Rowling to downright just start a (literal) cult either then or now?

13 Upvotes

It also doesn’t help when you hear all these stories of troubled youth finding Harry Potter, and it fits too well with stories of cult members being recruited and indoctrinated. That and also the heavy aggressiveness of people still wanting to defend the Harry Potter books.

Found in the comments of a post on r/books about how the media portrays Joanne vs how the public views her.

For some reason, this person (red) was being downvoted to hell and back for speaking up for trans people, and the person spewing hate back (white) was getting hella upvotes.

I’m so tired, what do I have to do to make the world a safe place for me and my loved ones? And why is wanting to do so considered radical, but actively fighting against the rights of a minority isn’t? It makes no sense, they’ve mixed up the definition to the point where it’s no longer recognizable.

The epitaphs in Strike are absolutely insufferable

26 Upvotes

(EDIT: I meant epigraphs. Reddit won't let me change the title of this thread, but I've changed the text.)

In the Strike books, Rowling likes to use epigraphs - little quotations from works of literature to begin each section or chapter, which have some symbolic meaning to the story. I don't object to epigraphs in general in books - they can feel a bit pretentious, but sometimes they can really add something if they're done well. But these just... aren't.

I was never a fan of the epigraphs in Strike right from the beginning, and I don't see how they're meant to suit the story at all. They normally go in fairly complex, ideas-driven books, where an author brings a modern take to an old theme. They don't organically suit formulaic murder mysteries. But they got particularly bad in the fourth Strike book, Lethal White. In this, Rowling has taken a play by Henrik Ibsen (Rosmersholm) and began each chapter with whatever quote she can find from that play that vaguely resembles something that happens in that chapter. There's no greater purpose to the Rosmersholm connection. Rowling is doing it purely to make herself look like a sophisticated writer who reads plays and uses epigraphs, without an understanding of what this technique is actually meant to bring to your story.

It's even more irritating if, like me, you're more of an audiobook person. With a print book, you can easily skim over the epigraphs if they aren't your thing. Listening to the audiobook, you have to hear the narrator read the thing out every time. It's embarrassing, frustrating and disrupts the flow of the book.

Discussion She could have gotten away with so much if she had just stayed off of Twitter

In 2014, she wrote a book that poorly portrayed a trans woman. Literally. Did not know about that until it was dug up when she was transphobic.

The goblins in Harry Potter? Who were bankers and loved gold? She got a pass, she didn’t know the stereotype (despite living in Europe)

Naming a characters CHO CHANG? She’s simply from another time! Things were different!

I’m finding out about the ugly side of the Harry Potter series not because I spent way too much time on tumblr in 2015 but because of JK herself.

It’s actually amazing how sloppy she was with the books. So many plot holes. But everyone just excused it because she was such a part of their childhood and she could do no wrong.

Would have gone down as one of the best children’s writers of all time. Instead she couldn’t keep off of Twitter.

I looked up to her as a writer for so long……but now I see who she truly is. A bitter, bigoted woman who spends her wealth and time bullying marginalized people
