How much can one controversial tweetstorm cost? That's the burning question as Warner Bros., Universal Parks & Resorts and Scholastic execs all grapple with the fallout after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, 54, spent part of Sunday tweeting her views on cisgender and transgender women, who she said, by nature of biology, will never be the same.
Even Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, couldn't bite his tongue and published a lengthy response Monday. "Trans women are women," the 30-year-old actor. "Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I," he continued, referring to the author by her first name.
Rowling detailed abuse she has faced on social media as a result of her opinions on the subject and closed her missive by writing, "All I want — is for similar empathy, similar understanding, to be extended to the many millions of women whose sole crime is wanting their concerns to be heard without receiving threats and abuse."
, which earned $814 million worldwide. It is unclear if the polarizing missive will prompt fans to bail. , a spokesperson for Warner Bros. said: "The events in the last several weeks have firmed our resolve as a company to confront difficult societal issues. Warner Bros.’ position on inclusiveness is well established, and fostering a diverse and inclusive culture has never been more important to our company and to our audiences around the world.
