J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk are facing potential legal consequences following a cyberbullying lawsuit filed by Olympic champion Imane Khelif. The criminal complaint, lodged with the Paris public prosecutor's office, accuses both individuals of aggravated cyber harassment against Imane. The lawsuit also targets Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), under French law.
The allegations stem from attacks questioning Imane's gender identity after her victory over Italian boxer Angela Carini at the 2024 Olympics. The lawsuit aims to investigate all individuals involved in spreading hateful messages, including those using pseudonyms.
