Watson‘s waffling around this is an absolute masterclass of a kind of witless, vacuous therapy-speak that absolutely dements me.

Someone who had really thought things through and had had a proper reconsideration of their views would say something like: “I thought x, I said y, it had z effect. I’ve since come to realise that in fact, my understanding of x was wrong, so I shouldn’t have said y, and I would like to apologise to the people that it had z effect on”. Or “I know that when I said <thing>, it upset people. I’m sorry. I think the people who pointed out how perfectly reasonable it is to think <opposite of thing> are right. I have people who think<opposite of thing> in my life and I love them“.

Not this half witted meandering through cliches and phrases that sound like they mean something, but actually don’t.

“'I really don't believe that by having had that experience and holding the love and support and views that I have, mean that I can't and don't treasure Jo and the person that I, that I had personal experiences with.
'I will never believe that one negates the other and that my experience of that person, I don't get to keep and cherish to come back to our earlier thing. Like I just don't think these things are either or”

This is the kind of thing that only a stupid person (or someone who has made themselves stupid trying to believe silly things) thinks sounds smart. It’s gibberish. She must be desperate for work. You could cobble together a hundred Emmas and not make one Jo’s worth of smarts, talent, charisma and humanity.

It's the kind of thing that only a cowardly person who is frightened of offending the side they supported, but who is desperate to curry favour with the side they condemned thinks sounds clever.

She thinks she can crawl back into favour with JKR, and still keep the support of the tr4ns lobby.

Dream on, Emma. It will be a cold day in hell.

Absolutely. Sadly, I think Emma is now or will be receiving a crash course in how it feels to be swiftly ejected from the ranks of the bien-pensant. She must surely know this? So she’s pleased no one. Badly done, Emma. Ah well!

“Emma is rightly free to disagree with me and indeed to discuss her feelings about me in public - but I have the same right, and I've finally decided to exercise it.”

JK Rowling isn’t messing about and I love to see it.

Jo’s statement was fan bleeping tastic. I bet EW is regretting planting the narrative of “a conversation wasn’t possible” and painted it like Jo refused to engage with her. Wheras in reality , Jo said in her statement that EW got a hand written note to her saying she was sorry for what she was going through but publicly sticking the knife in and Jo saying EW had her phone number. EW left those two points out !.

WOW!!!! This is utterly brilliant.

Oh, to see what's going on inside Watson's empty little head right now :D

The silly silly girl is discovering that you shouldn't play games with people far far smarter than you. But, as JKR rightly points out, "she's ignorant of how ignorant she is".

What a brilliant succinct way of telling Emma to go duck herself, couldn't agree with Jo more!

I know someone who worked on the HP films . She wasn’t nice to anyone she saw as below her. None of the extras or film crew ever reminisce about her or the other child stars. I would imagine they were all brats.
