She did. Everyone did. There was a newspaper article about her.
But it took a couple of days to figure out how she found out; the newspaper article identifies her as a suburban housewife in Surrey. But no one knew how she would have found out the information, including Rowlings, who, as she said, had no idea who the woman was.
A couple of days after the name of the leaker was made public, Rowlings's law firm figured out that the woman was the best friend of the wife of a partner who knew the information; at this point they called Rowlings and apologized. After this, Rowlings made her statement.
