OXFAM faces a donations slump and boycotts from Brits after it released a video apparently depicting JK Rowling as a red-eyed villain.
The red-faced charity was forced to say sorry and delete part of their Pride Month advert after a huge backlash.
And yesterday supporters vowed to withdraw their cash from the under-fire brand.
The charity sparked fury after a video showed a woman resembling the Harry Potter author as a demon, wearing a badge saying 'TERF' – "trans-exclusionary radical feminist" – and is a slur used to describe people who think people can't change sex.

It came after the charity insisted they should not use the word "mother" or "biological female" either in a recent language guide.
Maya Forstater, co-founder of 'Sex Matters' – accused Oxfam of creating a "hostile work environment."
