As of late, there’s been much discussion about the release of the Epstein files, millions of documents detailing the illegal exploits of late financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. One batch of docs was released in December 2025, and another three million were just divulged on January 30th. Several notable celebrities have been named in this set of files but not for criminal activity. Among those mentioned was Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who was named in connection to Epstein’s alleged attempt to attend an event.
The incident in question reportedly took place sometime in April 2018, at which point Jeffrey Epstein apparently tried to attend a Broadway opening party for the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. According to Deadline, Epstein was reportedly sent tickets by the producers yet, when he arrived for the celebration, he was reportedly turned away at the door. After this purported development was revealed, many took to social media to criticize Rowling.
