J.K. Rowling has hit back at the Sunday Times Irelandafter it published a sexist and anti-semitic column about the BBC's gender pay gap.
In a column entitled "Sorry, ladies -- equal pay has to be earned," columnist Kevin Myers suggested it was no coincidence two of the BBC's best-paid female presenters, Claudia Winkleman and Vanessa Feltz, were Jewish. Myers also stated the reason behind the gender pay gap is because men "work harder," "are more driven," and "seldom get pregnant."

"This filth was published in theSunday Times. Let that sink in for a moment," she added.

The article, which sparked widespread controversy, has since been deleted from the Sunday Timeswebsite. Myers has been sacked by the publication, and an apology has been issued by the publication's editor.
"The comments in a column by Kevin Myers in today's Irish edition of the Sunday Times were unacceptable and should not have been published. It has been taken down and we sincerely apologize both for the remarks and the error of judgment that led to publication," Sunday Times editor Martin Ivens said in a statement.
