J.K. Rowling mocks critic with cheeky Dolly Parton reference

J.K. Rowling has responded to angry comments after sharing a tribute to Dolly Parton following the singer’s death at 80.Rowling posted about Parton on X and praised her work with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The programme gives books to children and helps them enjoy reading.But her tribute soon got a lot of angry replies. Some people brought up the different views that Parton and Rowling have shared about LGBTQ+ people and transgender issues.One person replied to Rowling, “It should have been you.”Rowling shared the comment and wrote, “Top tips for wishing death on people in public, @b4byfirefly.”She also answered other people who attacked her.One person called Rowling a “f—ing monster” and said she and Parton had nothing in common.Rowling replied, “Well, joke's on you, because neither of us want Jolene to take our man.”Her reply was a reference to Parton’s famous song “Jolene”.Another person claimed that Parton had supported Donald Trump.Rowling pushed back strongly and wrote, “Oh, do f— off. At a conservative estimate, Dolly Parton was 100,000x the person you are.”The comments have now brought more attention to Rowling’s tribute and her replies to the critics. //setTimeout(function(){ $('.medium-insert-images').find('figure').show() }, 3000); var loadDeferredJS = function() { var lazyloadjs = ['https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/lazysizes.min.js']; var alljs = ['https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/ui/thirdparty.js?ver=133']; var jqueryjs = ['https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/ui/jquery.min_new.js?ver=43']; var bootstrapjs = ['https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/ui/bootstarp.js?ver=55']; var sliderjs = ['https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/ui/swiper.min.js']; var alljscustom = ['https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/ui/my.js?ver=5533','https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/mycustom.js?ver=5533']; setTimeout(function(){ jqueryjs.forEach(function (item,index) { var scriptElement=document.createElement('script'); scriptElement.type="text/javascript"; scriptElement.src = item; document.body.appendChild(scriptElement); }); }, 1000); const jqueryIntervalcheck = setInterval(function () { if(typeof jQuery !== "undefined"){ clearInterval(jqueryIntervalcheck); setTimeout(function(){ sliderjs.forEach(function (item,index) { if(item == 'https://www.geo.tv/assets/front/js/ui/swiper.min.js'){ var story_embed_gallery = $('.story-area').find('.embedgallery').length; //var story_embed_gallery = 0; if(parseInt(story_embed_gallery) > 0){ var scriptElement=document.createElement('script'); scriptElement.type="text/javascript"; scriptElement.src = item; document.body.appendChild(scriptElement); } } }); }, 100); setTimeout(function(){ alljscustom.forEach(function (item,index) { var scriptElement=document.createElement('script'); scriptElement.type="text/javascript"; scriptElement.src = item; document.body.appendChild(scriptElement); }); }, 1300); if($('.infogram-embed').length > 0 || $('embedinfogram').length > 0) { !function (e, t, n, s) { var i = "InfogramEmbeds", o = e.getElementsByTagName(t)[0], d = /^http:/.test(e.location) ?
