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.

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.
You know, you’d think that Neil fucking Gaiman of all people could come up with more plausible gaslighting than this, but alas
I was holding out some hope because the podcast that broke this is some gross TERF true crime podcast, but after reading this, this MF is so fucking guilty holy shit
Even taking him at his word, he made sexual advances on an employee of his that’s like 40+ years younger than him (in his own home, too) on what is presumably her first day working for him. Power imbalances stacked on power imbalances.

God damn it not Neil Gaiman
Mood. I was big into Gaiman as a teen, successfully annoyed my parents into buying me the huge Absolute Sandman books and all. Guess it’s kill yr idols time. Is it really impossible for rich and famous men to not be sex pests towards people young enough to be their children? Also the absolute scumminess of blaming the victim’s mental health, what the actual fuck
