Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness has dished out blistering criticism of JK Rowling and those still supporting her in the middle of her latest trans row. The Harry Potter author has sparked outrage over her new book Troubled Blood, written under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith, which features a cross-dressing serial killer who disguises himself to murder women.
Rowling had already been the subject of backlash over her recent comments about the trans community, which were deemed transphobic.
Reacting to the latest controversy, Jonathan has questioned why some people are supporting the formerly acclaimed author in light of her offensive remarks. ‘I’m wondering why so many people I look up to still follow this transphobic author,’ he.
