Isn't she doing a DPhil in Eng Lit currently?

Well that won’t qualify her for anything. She would have been better advised to do an apprenticeship in plumbing. 🔧

She probably has to pretend to like Jo to prevent receiving abuse.

Hahahahahahaha!

Omg did you seriously type that with a straight face?

I've seen her in the news a couple times in the last few days, she must be looking to get back into business in some capacity.

She probably needs a chauffeur judging by her speeding tickets and ban.

Most people do want to though.

She has no career and no children. How is she going to fill her days once she's finished her PhD in English lit?

I don't think it's true that she has no career. She's done lots of acting and modelling work in the last few years, while studying. I'm sure she'd be doing more if she didn't also want to study. After the PhD, she'll have lots of options. I'm sure she will get acting parts still, having carried huge movies like Beauty and the Beast. Alternatively, she could continue in academic research, or teach at a university. She'll have lots of options.

As for having no children, that doesn't really mean anything. Currently she's studying full-time, and just living her life the way that millions of people without children do. She's only 35 and might well have frozen her eggs. Maybe she'll have them at 40 or 43.

People always say this about Jennifer Aniston too - ohhhh, her life is so empty. But she's always been busy working, having relationships, seeing friends. She just doesn't have children. No one goes on about how empty a man's life is when he's having a perfectly full life with work, friends, and relationships, but no kids!

Yep, she can apologise for that smug barbed comment for starters (that nasty little "bar one"), feel a tiny slither of what JKR has been put through for years by the TRAs, and then we shall see.

Well, hello Emma Watson

My guess is that EW is setting her sights on becoming a writer, and maybe the publishing world isn’t so enthralled to the TWAW and she is realising that bitching about the worlds best selling author isn’t a good tactic to get on in that world.

If that's the case then this is a spectacular error of judgement. The publishing industry is utterly captured.

Good God, don't you think rape survivors have suffered enough?

Good point.

Yup

being too rich to need to work is unbelievably bad for the mental health of most of the people it happens to

She could volunteer at Beira's Place.

Just use the gents

you’ll be fine

ThatCyanCat · 25/09/2025 10:10

Pissing myself. JKR not newsworthy, JKR mentioning a lack of forgiveness means SEEKING VENGEANCE, and all the rest of the slobber. Like that woman in the Fife tribunal who didn't know if she was a man or woman (imagine the hysterical monthly trip to A&E), these are just not serious people. The levels at which they will beclown themselves to try to get men punching women in boxing rings or getting into women's changing rooms has to be seen to be believed.

She and the pompous insufferable Jennifer Affleck are cut from the same cloth.

Elizabethandfour · 25/09/2025 10:07

She is a terrible actress anyway. If it wasn’t for JK we wouldn’t know her name.

Yes, precisely this. I wouldn't dream of reading anything Emma Watson wrote. Ever.

Oh hardly! She's worth millions and never needs to work again if she doesn't want to!

She has millions in the bank. Celebritynetworth estimates her at $85 million. Even if it’s half of that, she’s hardly scraping round for Cillit Bang ads.

Almost all of that is due to her being cast in an incredibly lucrative long term role at the age of 10, when it was too early for anyone to know whether she could actually act or not.

How the hell is she going to occupy herself for the rest of her working life?

Mate...

Out of Emma Watson and JK Rowling, which one has not worked since 2018 and which one has published seven bestselling novels in that time?

She probably has to pretend to like Jo to prevent receiving abuse.

If she pretended to like Jo she would have received rape threats and death threats from the violent MRA/TRA mob. Which she will now.

WeeGeeBored · 25/09/2025 06:16

it sounds as though she wants to halt hostilities but you want (need?) to
keep them going.

She could start by apologising.
