Spitfire Audio co-founder Christian Henson, who once tweeted that he supported J.K. Rowling<\/a>, announced he was stepping back from any involvement in the company after receiving backlash.<\/p>\n

“As an original founder I am deeply saddened that Spitfire and Pianobook has become embroiled in something it has no involvement with. Spitfire employs a large number of people from a diverse range of backgrounds, all of whom are united in their passion for music, sound, and composing,” he wrote on Twitter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This whole episode has taken a great toll on them. This is why I have today decided to put them first and step back from any involvement in Spitfire Audio, Pianobook and LABS including acting in any consulting capacity,” he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spitfire Audio is a technology company based in London, England, that creates virtual instruments used for music production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Henson’s announcement comes after he tweeted support for J.K. Rowling<\/a> in September, which has since been deleted. Spitfire Audio’s CEO Will Evans announced in September that Henson would be taking a break from the company in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Evans apologized for any “hurt” Henson “caused” in the tweet and emphasized that the company has a responsibility to “do better.”<\/p>\n

“Christian\u2019s views are his own, and as a company we\u2019re committed to building an inclusive environment for our employees, collaborators and customers,” Evan’s statement said. “Christian’s going to take a break as we reflect on how to move forward, and in the meantime please accept my apologies on behalf of Spitfire Audio.”<\/p>\n

Henson’s now-deleted tweet expressed support for Rowling and Graham Linehan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

JK ROWLING CRITIC FORCED TO PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING HER A NAZI AFTER LAWSUIT THREAT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mumford & Sons co-founder Winston Marshall blasted Spitfire for “cowardice” following Henson’s departure.<\/p>\n

“Harry Potter” actress Evanna Lynch<\/a> recently condemned cancel culture and defended Rowling’s views during an interview with the Telegraph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I do think the next step is violence, really. I think it\u2019s a similar mindset,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lynch, who deleted her Twitter after receiving backlash for offering her take on Rowling’s views, said her past views of Rowling were too one-sided.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I won\u2019t be helping to marginalize trans women and men further. I think it\u2019s irresponsible to discuss such a delicate topic over Twitter through fragmented thoughts and I wish Jo wouldn\u2019t\u2009\u2026 That said, as a friend and admirer of Jo I can\u2019t forget what a generous and loving person she is,” the “Harry Potter” star wrote on social media in 2020. “I disagree with her opinion that cis-women are the most vulnerable minority in this situation and I think she\u2019s on the wrong side of this debate. But that doesn\u2019t mean she has completely lost her humanity.”<\/p>\n

Lynch said she was “naive” when she was “dragged” into these conversations in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t even know there were two sides,” she told the Telegraph. “I had a view of, like, good and bad. I do have compassion for both sides of the argument. I know what it was like to be a teenager who hated my body so much I wanted to crawl out of my skin, so I have great compassion for trans people and I don\u2019t want to add to their pain.”<\/p>\n

“I do also think it\u2019s important that JK Rowling has been amplifying the voices of detransitioners,” she continued. “I had this impulse to go, \u2018Let\u2019s all just stop talking about it\u2019, and I think probably I\u2019m a bit braver now about having uncomfortable conversations.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
