Pedro Pascal Slams J.K. Rowling as a “Heinous Loser”

  • Pedro Pascal publicly criticized J.K. Rowling as a "heinous loser" in April 2024 following her support of a UK Supreme Court ruling against transgender rights.
  • The controversy emerged after Rowling praised a legal ruling that defines womanhood based on biological sex, prompting some critics to call for a boycott of Harry Potter-related content.
  • Pascal, whose transgender sister is Lux, expressed support by commenting on activist Tariq Ra'ouf's Instagram post urging the boycott, and wore a pro-trans "PROTECT THE DOLLS" T-shirt at the Thunderbolts premiere.
  • Pascal expressed strong condemnation, agreeing with the description "awful disgusting SHIT," and stated that he finds it especially reprehensible to target and intimidate the most defenseless and vulnerable group of people.
  • Pascal's stance adds to a growing backlash involving celebrities boycotting the Harry Potter TV series, highlighting ongoing divisions over transgender rights and Rowling's involvement as executive producer.
