Can we have a thread on celebs that have come out with supportive messages for jk rowling? The ones i have seen so far:

Jonathan Ross (although a shit house scared of his daughters)
Robert webb
David baddiel
Kirsty Alsopp

Any others?

Puhlease, its great these people have supported her but it is SHOCKING that no one with a profile of any real meaning has stepped up. I mean, even if you don't agree with her views, other celebs, particularly female, saying, "hang on, this abuse is way out of line" would be great.

But instead, they're all making videos about "taking responsibility" for racism?

I find it astonishing.

And news reports which use vague terms to describe the abuse she's getting doesn't help.

And then The Sun with their splash front page from her ex?

It's SICKENING. I really hope that she is just ignoring all of this and getting on with her life. One upside of lockdown - she doesn't have to go into the real world.

Its heartening to see more people coming out in support with their huge platforms.

I thought Fern Britton had been critical chicken? Or at least very careful and cagey and in the 'be kind' team. I'd be so happy if that was wrong because she seems a decent, sensible and admirable woman.
