Crime Neil Gaiman Accused of Sexual Assault, Author Denies Allegations

Acclaimed author Neil Gaiman is facing multiple allegations of sexual assault, making him the subject of a police complaint in New Zealand. Gaiman has offered a response as well, refuting the accusations.

Per Tortoise Media, two women have accused Gaiman of sexual assault while in consensual relationships with the author. The allegations go back two decades, but they were first reported on in Tortoise's podcast Master: the allegations against Neil Gaiman, which was released on Wednesday. The women describe allegations of "rough and degrading sex," alleging that these instances were not always consensual.

One of the two accusers, a 23-year-old woman named Scarlett, claims she was sexually assaulted in February 2022 just hours after first meeting Gaiman. According to Scarlett, the assault happened in a bath at Gaiman's New Zealand home where she was hired to work as a nanny for his child. Gaiman says that the two merely "cuddled" and "made out" that day, adding that a three-week sexual relationship ensued, but was entirely consensual. Scarlett insists that Gaiman was "rough and degrading," and reportedly, messages, notes, and accounts from friends support her allegations.

Another accuser, identifying herself as K, says she was an 18-year-old fan when she first met Gaiman at a book signing in Sarasota, Florida, in 2003. K claims that she began a romantic relationship with Gaiman after she turned 20, resulting in engaging in rough sex that she "neither wanted nor enjoyed." It's alleged that one particular incident saw Gaimain forcefully penetrating K despite her objections.

Gaiman has denied this claim as well. The Sandman author maintains that his relationship with K was never unlawful and that he's "disturbed" to be accused of such behavior. According to Gaiman, K's allegations stem from "regret" over the relationship she had when it was over. He also attributed Scarlett's allegations to a condition she has that's associated with false memories, but the Tortoise report noted that this isn't supported by the accuser's medical records.

Additionally, Gaiman has strongly denied all allegations of non-consensual sex at any time with the women accusing him of sexual assault. He also claimed that New Zealand police ignored his offer for assistance with one woman's complaint in 2022, suggesting that shows a lack of substance in the investigation. New Zealand officers have responded by saying they made a "number of attempts to speak to key people as part of this investigation and those efforts remain ongoing." It was added that there are "a number of factors to take into consideration with this case, including location of all parties.”

Gaiman has long been one of pop culture's most revered authors, bringing to life acclaimed stories like The Sandman, Good Omens, and American Gods. Just recently, Netflix has been promoting the upcoming second season of The Sandman, which is based on Gaiman's source material; he also executive produces the series.

Honestly while Gaiman was not on the top of my "insufferable and terminally overhyped geek culture retards I cant wait to get outed as sex predators for my own amusement" list (currently being topped by Wil Wheaton followed by Alan Moore) I cannot deny feeling that little bit jollier with the thought I may never have to hear him mentioned again
 
Why does Ennis inspire so much contempt? I just read him as a action horror guy etc.
He's pretty much a fedora-tipping redditor in his opinions on just about everything, and like to portray himself as some sort of hard-boiled guy because he grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, when he's actually a soft cunt who'd probably piss himself if he found himself in the company of actual Provos or UDF types.
 
Ya know I hate to steal I point I saw while browsing for funni reactions from the r/fauxmoi shaniquas, but both Gaiman and Palmer are rich as fuck. They could have hired actual professional nannies and then just hire a hooker or ten of some variety when they wanted their allegedly consensual BDSM play.
For a moment I thought you were talking about the Rekietas.

The short answer for me is
  • The most eye rollingly obnoxious edgetarded shit imaginable being pointlessly shoved into every aspect of seemingly every story
  • Autistic obsession with relitigating his personal political bugaboos which are perpetually stuck in the early 00s which makes everything just a protracted whine about Dubya and Jesusland
  • Straight up reddit atheist schtick vomited onto the page at the drop of a fedora
  • The exact same character archetypes copy pasted in every damn comic, from the snarky (and usually british) special forces badass that serves as his wannabe self insert to the limp wristed retard supporting ensemble
Were I spared seeing his work so endlessly hyped and whispered about as some apex of gritty and edgy and realistic fiction I would be happy to ignore him the same way I do all the other hacks of his creed. Since I am not so fortunate Its my duty to throw shit at him whenever the opportunity presents itself.
 
Morrison would be my guess. One does not go they/them or create Danny the Street without something hidden away.
Nah, he's always been very open about his perversions and they usually involve him dressing up as a hooker while off his tits on acid and getting gangbanged by dudes.

Ya know I really am grateful sometimes I gave up trying to enjoy comics back in like 2011-2012. I feel like I spared myself a truly vast amount of cringe and disappointment for so many different reasons
 
I don't think he has too much to fear legally, or about his career in the long term, but no matter what happens next, his days of Uncle Neil interacting with his adoring internet audience, dispensing self-important current-year-approved diatribes all day, every day, and sowing asspats in return are over. And that's what I feel will really affect him. The man was one of the biggest e-dopamine fiends around, and now he won't get away with his approachable wise celebrity persona without people bringing this up and raining on his parade. The only thing the audience he has been cultivating for decades loves more than an idol to look up to is a corpse to cannibalize.
There's always switching sides and becoming a pill slash and your Tate type saying all women want to be tied down to a bed or something

Neil Druckmann is absolutely getting outed as a sex pest in the next 1-3 years.
Inshallah

Honestly I really fucking hope not because the absolute subhuman scum who are getting rehabilitated for declaring themselves anti-woke these days is downright depressing.

He’s a lefty so some people enjoyed his downfall. As someone who loved Transmetropolitan and thinks it’s any famous guys right to bang groupies without fear, I didn’t celebrate it.

Gaiman is such a cunt that, even though I believe most the accusations are a mixture of bullshit and false memory syndrome stoked by unscrupulous therapists, that I’m cheering it on.

Yes, I am fickle and have no morals.

No that's Ellis. Ennis is a completely different insufferable britbong edgelord obsessed with rape and whining about the right wing
 
It's worth re-iterating the original point as well. It wasn't that a young woman was to blame for being raped. It was that unless you accept how your behaviour made you vulnerable (if it did) then you wont learn and will continue to be a victim. Nobody blames a young and vulnerable girl in financial distress and estranged from her family for being taken advantage of. They're just saying you need to learn from it and take responsibility for the things you can control. We're not talking "shouldn't wear tight jeans" here. We're talking repeatedly sending your abuser messages encouraging them and thanking them for the abuse, voluntarily going back for more, etc. A vulnerable young woman can be manipulated into that sort of behaviour and it's not a lack of sympathy or about blaming them for being vulnerable. It's a commentary on how you can stop being vulnerable and that starts with looking at the things that are in your power to change.
Her story mostly makes sense. Whether or not she was estranged from her parents due to issues outside of her control is hard to say because she does not elaborate on why. How much financial duress she was under is also not made clear. The article does detail that she was struggling to make ends meet and constantly strapped for cash. If she was living on the edge of the poverty line it's not hard to see why, in her mind, she had no choice but to either play along or go completely financially destitute. Whether or not Gaiman knew this and was knowingly exploiting it is another important question, because if he did that's Weinstein tier shit. Even if he didn't he's fucking deranged if he thinks that relationship was consensual, assuming half of what she said is true.

At the very least, he and Palmer knew they weren't paying her.
