Irish actress Nicola Coughlan, known for her role in the Netflix series Bridgerton, has spoken out publicly against author JK Rowling following the UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the legal definition of “woman.”
The 38-year-old criticized Rowling’s public celebration of the proceeding last Friday (April 18) via an Instagram Story, hinting that she would not be watching the author’s forthcoming Harry Potter HBO television series.
“Keep your new Harry Potter lads,” Coughlan wrote. “Wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole.”
