No need for lawsuits. Put her in the ring. Let her defend her convictions with her face and fists.

Heaven forbid she lose money. Literally the only thing that could make her ~~stop~~ briefly pause harassing people on the internet.
She has billions. No matter how much she loses she'll still be obscenely rich.
Maybe they can sue for billions. Gawker got sued out of existence, I hope she gets some good US attorneys and files in a jurisdiction that has unlimited damages. Maybe we can all use the new "K" platform after she owns "X".

"Just Kidding" Rowling
That woman knows how to play the games. Serious winner.
(Edit: I meant Imane, in case that was not clear. And not sarcastic.)
FAFO
It’s about fucking time someone shut her up
Is Rowling even subject to French legal proceedings?
Well at the very least it could block her from going to France? Which as a rich British middle-aged woman I'm sure she would hate not being able to do.
The harassment lawsuit alleges "aggravated cyber-harassment" against Khelif, according to a statement from the boxer's lawyer, Nabil Boudi, who was quoted by The Associated Press. Variety reported that the complaint was filed against X, which means under French law that it was filed against unknown persons. Investigators at the Paris prosecutor's office will determine who could be at fault in Khelif's complaint.
If she ends up being found liable in an EU country, I bet she won't be able to travel to any EU country without facing that liability. X is an international platform, and she's broadcasting her words internationally, so yes, she can be held accountable in countries where this carries civil or criminal liability.
Also any EU royalty payments could be garnished until her debt from her liability is paid in full.
With the sales numbers of Harry Potter stuff, i doubt there will be a problem of securing the money.
I imagine that her Harry Potter stuff is owned by a corporation. That is probably all separate legally from her.
So her Harry Potter stuff is probably fine as she is getting sued not the Harry Potter corporation.
It will mainly affect her ability to travel around Europe.

Oh no, consequences.
Only because she attacked a cis woman. No consequences from the years doing everything in her power to targetedly harass individual trans peolle, the community as a whole or publishing books about trans serial killers.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see her go quite, I hope she stays that way. But I'm bitter it wasn't a realization that her crusade was mysgonstic hatred, only that she was a zealot who accidently friendly fired.
This isn't friendly fire. TERFism is inherently white supremacist and Khelif was targeted for her race.
