The British government had vowed to stop the new law. \u201clong-needed,\u201d Per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/brian-cox-backs-jk-rowling-transgender-backlash-1235302678\/\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But when asked about Rowling, Cox said he wasn\u2019t thrilled with how she\u2019s been vilified in the media and among other celebrities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t like the way she\u2019s been treated, actually,\u201d &#8220;The Emmy award winner&#8221; said. \u201cI think she\u2019s entitled to her opinion; she\u2019s entitled to say what she feels. As a woman, she\u2019s very much entitled to say what she feels about her own body, and there\u2019s nobody better to say that, as a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I do feel that people have been a bit high-and-mighty about their own attitude towards J.K. Rowling, quite frankly,\u201d He went on.<\/p>\n<p>Cox has previously said something similar about Rowling. In an interview with Piers, Morgan, Cox described the backlash against Rowling as &#8220;a reaction to the billionaire author.&#8221; \u201cdeeply unjust.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2022\/05\/06\/brian-cox-slams-deeply-unjust-treatment-of-jk-rowling-over-trans-row-16597208\/\">stated<\/a> The modern-day cancellation culture is \u201ca kind of modern day McCarthyism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a kind of raid on people\u2019s sensibilities in order to reduce them and make them \u2026 I don\u2019t know, there is so much hypocrisy in the whole thing,\u201d The actor stated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI find the whole thing completely hypocritical. I am not religious but there is a thing in the Bible where it says, \u2018Let he or she without sin cast the first stone,\u2019 and there seems to be a lot of casting of stones. And it is like a virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hypocritical notion of \u2018I am being liberal\u2019 but actually you are being fascist and people should just stop it and behave themselves,\u201d Cox concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of \u201cHarry Potter\u201d Rowling&#8217;s franchise stars have distanced from Rowling, while other actors have stood by Rowling. At least one actor has spoken out in Rowling&#8217;s defense. Ralph Fiennes was the villain Lord Voldemort. \u201cHarry Potter,\u201d Rowling was treated in a way that he did not like, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t understand the vitriol directed at her,\u201d Fiennes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/harry-potter-actor-defends-j-k-rowling-knocks-cancel-culture-level-of-hatred-is-disturbing\">said in 2021<\/a>. \u201cI can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational. I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSuccession\u201d star Brian Cox openly supports transgender rights, but he\u2019s also adamant that critics like J.K.
