To the surprise of absolutely no one, Serena Williams dominated at the Wimbledon championship on Saturday, winning it for the sixth time. This also marks Williams' fourth Grand Slam title in a row, not to mention her 21st major overall.
Among the top-ranked athlete's many celebrity fans is author J.K. Rowling, who tweeted a steady stream of support for Williams throughout and immediately following Saturday's game. But it was her cutting response to a body-shaming troll that propelled Rowling to trending status in the United States:

@jk_rowling @hansmollman ironic then that main reason for her success is that she is built like a man

That’s a steroid addict right there.
She is not built like a man, she is built like a finely honed muscle.
A perfect excuse for the pulp writer Rowling to exorcise her white guilt!
Nothing personal, just not my cup of tea.
Going to bed with her would be like attempting to bed Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I'm sure neither one of us would like it very much, and I might get hurt.
She looks like a woman who works hard (physically) for a living and, that’s in fact exactly what she does. She looks fine to me.
“Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress.”
To which I would have replied: “Well, you should know.”
I don’t know why other women even bother with professional tennis when they have to play against this monstrosity.
Sounds to me like she might have a major fantasy heating up in her subconscious, though not one her reading public might ever see.
Williams and Rowling can smile all the way to the bank and back, and they get a chortle from me.
Believe it. We’re a culture of celebrity now. I fear things are going to get rather rocky
