Best-selling author Neil Gaiman vehemently denies allegations of sexual misconduct from eight women. The accusations range from rape to hitting one accuser with a belt. Gaiman maintains his innocence, stating he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity.
Best-selling author Neil Gaiman has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct following accusations from eight women. The 64-year-old responded to the shocking claims by stating that he has 'never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever'. Gaiman is renowned for his works, including ' Good Omens ', 'The Sandman', 'American Gods', and the children's book 'Coraline'.
He wrote: 'I've stayed quiet until now, both out of respect for the people who were sharing their stories and out of a desire not to draw even more attention to a lot of misinformation. I've always tried to be a private person, and felt increasingly that social media was the wrong place to talk about important personal matters.' '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. I'm far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever.' Gaiman stated he had reviewed text messages from the period of one alleged assault and believed they depicted 'two people enjoying entirely consensual sexual' interactions. He acknowledged that he 'could have and should have done so much better' and realized he hadn't been as 'thoughtful' as he wished. 'It was selfish of me. I was caught up in my own story and I ignored other people's. Like most of us, I'm learning, and I'm trying to do the work needed, and I know that that's not an overnight process.' Gaiman served as the writer and executive producer for the 'Good Omens' television series. However, following the accusations, the third season was canceled. Gaiman strongly refuted several claims, asserting they 'simply never happened'. A magazine report published on Monday detailed the allegations, which spanned from rape to striking one accuser with a belt. All eight accusers indicated they were willing to engage with many of Gaiman's requests, one of which frequently involved addressing him as 'master', according to the report. Some also alleged they hadn't discussed or agreed upon the acts and scenarios Gaiman desired prior to their occurrence. Gaiman's representatives had previously informed Tortoise Media that 'sexual degradation, bondage, domination, sadism and masochism may not be to everyone's taste, but between consenting adults, BDSM is lawful.
