Lots of people back pedalling slightly because there is nothing to be said other than that it is horrific. Outpouring of more virtue signalling.

OJ has slammed it but has disabled replies from those outside his echo chamber so people can't tell him what a bloody hypocrite he is.

Hate hate hate hate the headline. Suspicious of the idea that the Sun's agenda here is to increase support of JKR; not sure they have an agenda beyond sales and being gross. But hoping that the grossness of it all might nevertheless increase support for her.

As much as it sickens me, I’m prepared to give the benefit of the doubt here: I’d hope that the intention of this cover is to stimulate further support for JKR.

This was my reading of it too, specially as above the headline it’s described as a ‘sick taunt’, and the bottom banner says they ‘confronted’ her ex.

They’ve also, by his statement, confirmed that JKR wasn’t ‘playing for sympathy’ as so many have stated. Still a click bait headline.

I honestly think they know exactly what they’re doing with this. The fact that OJ has had to publicly ram an entire humble pie down his throat in response to this is no coincidence.

They’re sticking it to everyone who damned her for her entirely reasonable comments and letting them squirm.

I wonder if the thankless actor brats will continue to be be so vocal now? Hmm

I agree. It generated The Daily Mail article which is very sympathetic to her both in its content and the below the line comments.

You could be right Bigbad. I am sickened by the likes of OJ etc who are now desperately trying to cover their arses after their misogyny has been laid bare.

It would have been much worse to publish something from him discrediting her version of events. This way, his abuse is a matter of self-confessed public record, and therefore it’s an oblique show of support for her.

Juxtaposed with the Emma Watson piece immediately below, I’d say this is them nailing their colours to the mast.

Absolutely fucking vile. A new low.

I have never seen a more horrifying headline.

The responses from people who called her a Nazi only three days ago are shocking.

The Sun's front page for tomorrow is 'I slapped JK and I'm not sorry' from an interview with her ex. Please don't click if you google.
