Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has filed a cyberbullying lawsuit against high-profile figures including Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling, Donald Trump, and Logan Paul. The lawsuit, filed with a special unit in the Paris prosecutor’s office, accuses these individuals of making derogatory comments about Khelif's gender following her Olympic victory. The controversy stems from claims that Khelif, who competed in the women's boxing division, was misrepresented in terms of her gender. Khelif has publicly expressed distress over the comments, stating that they have caused her significant emotional pain. If Khelif wins the case, the accused could face a £214,000 fine and a five-year prison sentence. The case has sparked discussions on gender politics and the impact of social media commentary on athletes.
