Algerian boxer and Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif has filed a criminal complaint against J.K. Rowling, Elon Musk, and other major media personalities over alleged “acts of aggravated cyber harassment.”

According to Variety, Khelif filed the lawsuit in France on Friday, August 9th, in response to “online hate speech” and conspiracies targeting Khelif’s gender. Rowling and Musk, in particular, accused Khelif of being a man, despite the fact that she was born a female and does not identify as transgender or intersex.

Rowling and Musk were both named in the lawsuit, and Khelif’s lawyer, Nabil Boudi, indicated that additional defendants may be added to the complaint — including former president Donald Trump and boxer Logan Paul. “What we’re asking is that the prosecution investigates not only these people but whoever it feels necessary,” Boudi told Variety. “If the case goes to court, they will stand trial.”

Referring to the possibility of Trump’s involvement, Boudi added: “Trump tweeted, so whether or not he is named in our lawsuit, he will inevitably be looked into as part of the prosecution.”

The misinformation regarding Khelif’s gender spread on social media after her fight with Italian boxer Angela Carini at the 2024 Olympics, which resulted in the latter withdrawing after receiving only two blows. Khelif went on to win the gold medal for the women’s 66kg (welterweight) boxing event, but the controversy and misinformation regarding her gender “incredibly affected her” and “everyone around her,” according to her coach, Pedro Diaz.

Among the slew of hurtful comments was an accusation from Rowling that Khelif was a man who was “enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head.”

Likewise, Trump posted a picture from the fight with Carini with the message: “I will keep men out of women’s sports!” As for Musk, he shared a post claiming “men don’t belong in women’s sports,” with the added caption “Absolutely.”

Boudi explained that the complaint is targeting the authors of harassing posts, not platforms like X themselves, on the basis that it’s “the responsibility of lawmakers to issue sanctions to platforms, not ours.” Nonetheless, Variety reported that he feels cyber harassment cases are “now being taken much more seriously by judicial authorities.”
