US EditionJK Rowling 'failing moral test' for loving Lolita resurfaces after she addresses Epstein files mention
J.K. Rowling denied involvement after Department of Justice files revealed tickets for Jeffrey Epstein at the 2018 Harry Potter Broadway opening were arranged by producers.
- On Monday, J.K. Rowling denied on social media that she or her team ever met, communicated with, or invited Jeffrey Epstein, writing, `Neither I, nor anybody on my team, ever met, communicated with or invited Jeffrey Epstein to anything.`
- The DoJ's released files show an invitation to the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child official Broadway opening on April 22, 2018, after Epstein's conviction, sparking online claims linking J.K. Rowling, author.
- Peggy Siegal, publicist and Epstein associate, asked Playground Entertainment to seat a 'very important friend'; Callender said he was never made aware of Epstein's identity, and tickets were sent to Epstein by the show's producers, not Rowling.
- DoJ files show Epstein was stopped from attending and later told Siegal he `couldn't get in` because his name was not on the guestlist, prompting her to demand an apology while Playground said no apology was issued.
- On Wednesday, The View cohosts criticized powerful figures named in the files, with Whoopi Goldberg saying, `Women didn't say, 'Hey, don't do that. Women did not stand up for other women. Women saw what was going on and didn't say, 'Stop this.' They didn't come out and say this was going on.
