What India is referring to is how earlier within the week the disgraced writer went on a rant on her X (Twitter) about how she doesn’t imagine trans ladies ought to be allowed in ladies’s altering rooms, and for no matter cause determined to call drop the journalist:
“India didn’t become a woman. India is cosplaying a misogynistic male fantasy of what a woman is.”

Because of those terrible feedback, the 58-12 months-previous newsreader determined to take her grievance to Northumbria Police, and states she believes it might be a violation of the UK’s Equalities Act and Gender Recognition Act — and labeled as a hate crime. Of course, J.Okay. couldn’t preserve her fingers off social media, and went on to seek advice from India as a “male” and accused her of harassment in her response, writing:
“Some time ago, lawyers advised me that not only did I have a clearly winnable case against India Willoughby for defamation, but that India’s obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment … India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can’t compel women to take him at his own valuation.”
See her full, lengthy-winded rant (beneath):
Some time in the past, attorneys suggested me that not solely did I’ve a clearly winnable case in opposition to India Willoughby for defamation, however that India’s obsessive focusing on of me over the previous few years might meet the authorized threshold for harassment. 1/5 https://t.co/kMSMBWO7gm

Despite the backwards and forwards between J.Okay. and India, police launched a response to Byline via a spokesperson, who stated the complaints in opposition to J.Okay. didn’t meet “criminal threshold”:
“On Monday, March 4, we received a complaint about a post on social media. While we recognise the upset this may have caused, the post was reviewed and did not meet the criminal threshold. The complainant has been updated of this.”
So she will get to proceed referring to India as a male regardless of her authorized standing as a lady?? Wow.
