Best-selling English author Neil Gaiman has vehemently denied accusations of rape and sexual assault, stating he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity. The allegations, which surfaced six months ago, were investigated by New York Magazine and involve testimonies from eight women who accused Gaiman of rough and degrading assaults during their twenties. Gaiman maintains his innocence and claims that any interactions were consensual, acknowledging that he was careless with people's hearts and feelings, for which he deeply regrets.
Why speak to 1MDB chairman via Jho Low’s phone? Najib says for ‘convenience’, I was ‘using’ Jho Low for Middle East tiesThe science fantasy author of popular works such as ‘American Gods’ and ‘Good Omens’ hit back after the ‘ New York Magazine ’ on Monday published an in-depth investigation into the allegations which first emerged six months ago.
One of the women, Scarlett Pavlovich, recounted how she was assaulted by the writer when she was 22, and working as a baby-sitter for Gaiman in New Zealand in early 2022. Pavlovich however remained in contact with the author and signed a confidentiality agreement in exchange for some €9,000 . “As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognise and moments I don’t, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen,” he added.
