British author JK Rowling has publicly denied rumors connecting her to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The claims emerged after the release of a large set of official documents related to Epstein’s criminal case.
The documents were released by the United States Department of Justice. They include more than three million pages. These files mention several well-known figures. This led to renewed public attention and online speculation.
Some social media users claimed that Rowling had invited Jeffrey Epstein to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The author strongly rejected these allegations. She said the claims were false and misleading.
Rowling addressed the issue directly on X, formerly Twitter. She stated that neither she nor her team ever met or contacted Jeffrey Epstein. She also said no invitation was ever sent by her or her representatives.
According to Rowling, the rumors have no factual basis. She described them as “beyond silly.” Her response aimed to stop the spread of misinformation linked to the newly released files.
Further clarification came from media reports. According to Deadline, the invitation in question was not issued by Rowling. It was reportedly sent by the play’s producer, Colin Callender.
Callender explained that the request came through Epstein’s associate, Peggy Siegel. Siegel reportedly asked for tickets on behalf of a “very important friend.” Callender said he was not informed of the person’s identity at that time.
Importantly, the documents confirm that Jeffrey Epstein never attended the Broadway show. His name did not appear on the official guest list. This detail further weakens claims of any personal link to Rowling.
The reports also confirm that Rowling and her team had no role in the invitation process. There was no direct or indirect communication with Epstein. No meetings or exchanges were recorded.
The release of the Justice Department files has sparked widespread debate. Many public figures named in the documents have issued clarifications. Rowling’s statement follows this pattern of public responses.
This case highlights how quickly misinformation can spread online. It also shows the importance of verified facts and official records.

With these clarifications, the matter appears settled. There is no evidence linking JK Rowling to Jeffrey Epstein. The claims remain unsubstantiated and unsupported by the released documents.
