Author JK Rowling will not face any police action after a complaint she ‘misgendered’ trans broadcaster India Willoughby was banned.
Willoughby, a news presenter and host of Loose Women, contacted police on Monday over an online post in which the Harry Potter author referred to her as a man.
A spokesperson for Northumbria Police said: “Whilst we recognize the distress this may have caused, the post was reviewed and did not meet the criminal threshold.”
Willoughby previously claimed that Rowling “definitely committed a crime.”

Rowling will not face any police action after a complaint that she ‘misgendered’ trans broadcaster India Willoughby was expelled.
Willoughby, a news presenter and host of Loose Women, contacted police on Monday over an online post in which the Harry Potter author referred to her as a man.
In a post on X, the writer said that no law required her to refer to the broadcaster as a woman.
He also said lawyers had previously advised him he could sue Willoughby for “defamation”.
In an online conversation about all-female wardrobes, Rowling said Willoughby “was simply a man who reveled in his misogynistic interpretation of what he thinks ‘woman’ means: narcissistic, superficial and exhibitionist.”
Willoughby said the comments had sparked a “disgusting” reaction online.
