After being named in the legal action, Rowling took down a substantial amount of content related to Khelif from her X account, a move that some have interpreted as an attempt to minimize her online footprint amid growing scrutiny.

Despite this, some of Rowling's retweets remain visible, including a post related to a similar controversy involving another female athlete, Taiwan's Lin Yu-ting.

Khelif has spoken out about the emotional toll the criticism has taken on her, but she remains firm in defending her right to compete. While Rowling's silence has drawn attention, Khelif’s resilience continues to shine through in the face of adversity.
