Imane Khelif 'names Elon Musk and JK Rowling' in cyberbullying lawsuit after winning Olympic boxing gold amid gender dispute
SUMMARY
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif has filed a lawsuit in France, naming Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling among others, accusing them of 'cyber harassment'. Khelif, who won gold at the 2024 Olympics, faced backlash online after it was revealed that they allegedly possess male XY chromosomes, leading to disqualification from the 2023 world championships. Musk defended the stance against men in women's sports, re-sharing a post from swimmer Riley Gaines, stating, "Absolutely." The lawsuit, filed by Khelif's lawyer Nabil Boudi, aims to investigate all those involved in the alleged harassment. The lawsuit seeks accountability for the supposed harassment, and the International Olympic Committee has condemned the abuse, defending Khelif's right to compete without discrimination.
