Read our privacy policy J.K. Rowling has engaged in a Twitter feud with British broadcaster Piers Morgan following his appearance on a US talk show which saw him exchange a war of words with Australian comedian Jim Jefferies following his defence of President Donald Trump. In last night's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Jefferies lashed out at Morgan for refusing to refer to Trump's travel ruling as a Muslim ban. Morgan refused to take this lying down, responding to the Harry Potter author saying that's why he's never read a word of her globally-successful book series - but Rowling had the comebacks lined up. UPDATE: JK Rowling has delivered one last eviscerating Tweet aimed at Piers Morgan.
