The “The Last of Us” star accused author JK Rowling of “Behindser Behavior” for her celebration after a judicial decision in the United Kingdom that did not recognize transgender women as women.
Pascal hit the author of “Harry Potter” hard in the comments section of an Instagram video that required a total boycott of the popular Rowling franchise.
Activist Tariq Raouf published the video last week criticizing Rowling for “delight” in the ruling of the UK Supreme Court this month that the Equality Law defines women as those born biologically women.
Rowling published a photo of herself in X, with a drink and cigar in her hand, and wrote: “I love it when a plan joins. #Supremecourt #WOMENSRIGHTS.”
The Scottish writer has expressed her views on transgender women and their rights in recent years, warming up in her social media accounts with those who disagree with her.
Raouf described Rowling as a “villain” and urged the public to stop supporting the “Harry Potter” franchise.
“She is so arrogant to get the same royalties … whether you burn or read a book by Harry Potter,” Rououf said in her Instagram video. “So I think it has become our mission, as the general public, to make sure that every thing that is related to ‘Harry Potter’ fails.”
This included the books, an upcoming restart television series and visiting the theme park “Harry Potter” at the Universal Orlando Resort. (Universal Orlando Resort is owned by NBCuniversal, the same parent company that has NBC News).
One of the main comments on the Passage of Raouf is from the Pascal Instagram account, which has almost 10 million followers. In his comment, Pascal refers to Rowling’s behavior as “atrocious”, “horrible” and “disgusting.”
Pascal representatives did not immediately respond to a comment request. A Rowling representative declined to comment on the actor’s comment.
Pascal doubled his support for the transgender community during an appearance at the premiere of Marvel “Thunderbolts” in London on Tuesday.
He had a shirt that said: “Protect dolls”, a reference to a affectionate nickname given transgender women among the LGBTQ community.
The shirt was designed by Connor Iives, who told the New York Times that sales earnings would go to Trans Lifeline, a non -profit community group and a direct crisis line.
Pascal is a vocal defender of the transgender community and has talked about his own transgender sister, Lux Pascal, with affection.
Lux Pascal came out publicly in 2021 and did an interview with Chilean magazine. His brother published the cover of the magazine on Instagram and wrote: “My sister, my heart, our lux”, which translates into “my sister, my heart, our lux.”
In the interview, she accredited her older brother for her support.
“He has been an important part of this,” he said. “He is also an artist and has been a guide. He was one of the first people who gave me things to form identity.”
