    More seriously: Hopefully she'll get her comeuppance like Ellen is doing.

        Something to do with workplace abuse and labour rights, I think? I might be wrong, so take what I say with a grain of sand.

        @yeehawman1312 is right. But there's also the history of her being a complete asshole to everyone: Her workers, her interview subjects, etc. She's "fake happy" like Corden. Ever since Dakota Johnson called her out with her passive-aggressive interview style, people have been waking up to her nonsense.

      Ellen works with people and is apparently an abusive jerk. People eventually get tired and talk.

      Rowling is a fucking billionaire and sends her writing to teams of editors and producers who make money off it, she won't be brought down the same way.

      But Rowling is losing popularity because her awful personality and lack of taste are coming through on Twitter and because her recent works suck. But she has mainstream centrist views and money, so nobody in power will turn on her.

        Rowling's sales are down: https://variety.com/2020/film/news/jk-rowling-book-sales-harry-potter-1234708777/ <---They aren't FULLY down, but they are "depressed" when the rest of the industry is getting sales due to the pandemic/people needing something to do to pass time.

        If she becomes so "toxic" to the public, publishers won't publish her stuff because it won't make them money. It's not exactly the same, but it is the "same" in the sense that eventually the public will turn on Rowling and she'll lose money/her status from it.

        She might keep the millions and "boo-hoo sob into money" through the whole thing, but if she can't make money anymore it's essentially "done" for her.
