Trisha Krishnan is facing online backlash after allegedly showing support for JK Rowling, the author of famous Harry Potter series. JK Rowling has been criticized for her views on gender and the transgender community since years now, which many have called transphobic. Trisha reportedly shared a post on Instagram calling Rowling a “boss” after the author responded to a person who claimed they burned her books. Fans are now questioning whether Trisha agrees with Rowling’s views or if it was a mistake by her social media team.
The controversy around the author JK Rowling started in 2020 when she made comments about gender and biological s*x. She criticized the use of the phrase “people who menstruate”, suggesting that it should only refer to women. This upset many people, especially within the transgender community who felt her comments were harmful. Since then, the author has made various similar statements, leading to ongoing criticism.
Recently, JK Rowling replied to someone on X (formerly Twitter) who claimed to have burned her books. In her response, the author said she still gets royalties whether her books are read or burned and she joked about them roasting marshmallows over the fire. This response went viral with many people sharing their opinions on the exchange.
According to a post on Reddit, Trisha shared Rowling’s reply to the book-burning comment on her Instagram Story, writing “Like a boss”. However, the post is no longer visible on her profile, and it is unclear if Trisha or her team took it down.
This has led to speculation online with some fans believing it was a mistake and that Trisha may not be aware of Rowling’s controversial comments. Others, however, think Trisha might agree with Rowling’s views. Regardless, the post has caused disappointment among many of her fans.
Fans quickly reacted to Trisha’s alleged support of Rowling. While some think it was a public relations mistake, others believe Trisha might share similar views. As of now, Trisha has not addressed the situation, leaving many fans curious about her true opinion.
