  1. No, they’re named in the lawsuit, she’s suing Twitter in France. It’d be very difficult to sue everyone named individually as they’re all in different countries.

  2. The EU continues to gather evidence supporting a ban on twitter. Not a bad thing. Since Musk took over, it’s become a full time disinformation tool to push his egotistical, nonsensical political agenda.

  3. It’s masculine for a woman to call herself by her initials isn’t it, J.K.? Kinda ironic that she’s bullying someone based on gender identity.

    Back in the day most women who referred to themselves by initials were suspected to be lesbians.

  4. I hope she wins or they settle out of court (more likely) because this could only happen in modern times with the help of the internet and trans people. and it was fucking insane

  5. I mean, this is going to amount to nothing.  She knows it.  The lawyers know it. Everyone knows it.  It’s just a publicity stunt. 

  6. Any French law experts to break this down for us would be greatly appreciated. And by French law experts, I mean Trace.

  7. If it does in fact make it to court, the defense lawyers will ask for medical records during discovery.

  8. Imane Khelif’s coach said she had a ‘problem with chromosomes’ and failed a test to compete in the woman’s division. IBA president CONFIRMED it’s cause she has XY chromosomes. To me, she looks like a man. People are allowed to have an opinion.

  9. I have plenty of popcorn to share if anyone wants some.  Extra butter and white cheddar.

  10. JK Rowling is screwed if Khelif takes her to court in the UK.

    The Defamation Act 2013 sets out the law on defamation. The law states that, “*an untrue statement is not defamatory unless its publication has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to the reputation of the claimant*”. – Rowling said Khelif was a “male” [ie transgender or intersex] woman-beater who enjoyed hurting women and could potentially kill one some day, Rowling’s statements also could have put Khelif’s life in danger as being LGBTQ+ is illegal in her home country of Algeria. There is also the demonstrable fact that Rowling was attempting to destroy Khelif’s livelihood as a professional boxer. She published these statements publicly so they are not protected by private freedom of expression or “fair comment” laws. And they are demonstrably untrue, and Rowling certainly was not privy to any evidence to their veracity when she made her comments, so they are defamatory. And Rowling cant even say she recanted her statements when she was proven wrong, like after the corrupt IBC process was made public, because she just tripled down on her earlier assertions despite all the evidence.

    If Khelif takes Rowling to court then its an open-shut case.

  11. Good. The publicity alone would be worth it.

    I guess those two are so rich it doesn’t matter that they are hurting their own products.

  12. I’m worried about how this will play out for Imane. in order to make a libel suit stick, she may be forced to prove there is no factual basis for what was said. It can’t be Libel if it’s true, and there are precious few ways to prove that it isn’t true. None of those ways would be pleasant for her

  13. I said this yesterday:

    What I’m confused about is in which country does she have the opportunity to bring any kind of legal action. For example, If she’s not a British citizen how can she sue Rowling in the British courts? If she were to sue in her home country, how can she sue a foreigner who slandered her from within a different country?

  14. All of this can be settled with a test. Not opinion or feelings but a test. If science isn’t used as evidence in this case no one will be convinced.
