Author Neil Gaiman Denies Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

Neil Gaiman is denying any allegations of abuse after eight women accused him of sexual misconduct. The popular British author of fantasy and science fiction works such as Good Omens and Sandman, which have been adapted for screen, spoke out in a blog post after an article in New York Magazine detailed allegations that have been made against him. Four of the women had previously shared their claims on a podcast in July. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

Ugh. I don’t even know his work, but he always seemed like someone with integrity. The accusations seem credible and his ex-wife seems messed up as well. Sad

[sonicgalaxy]

They always keep saying they deny any wrongdoings before getting exposed by their victims.

[doomerang]

He was "believe all women" till he got accused. Typical of these types.

[MathieuCastro]

He 100% did it. He's just trying to figure out how to still have a career after. People that defend him just because they love his books, you're the only one that has to look yourself in the mirror everyday keep defending some millionaire who only thinks of you as $$.

Innocent until proven guilty seems to be forgotten. It doesn't matter how many jump on the bandwagon and claim "me too".

I worked with his agent at Writers House and boy was she a nightmare. I think...two peas in a pod.

[JonnyQest]

I always come to the comments first to see what the experts have to say before forming an opinion.

[colinmackinnon]

There has been thorough investigating into the accusations but no evidence has been found. I'm not saying that makes him innocent but it doesn't mean he's guilty either. There is a chance this is a sham but only a chance. We still need to follow the "Innocent until proven Guilty" law.

I'm surprised how the inside edition also forgot mention that he wrote the popular novel of Coraline.

[himayamata]

Ah, man... they were going to make a film about the Graveyard Book? Too bad

[taiyeyoung]

What happened to innocent until proven guilty

[pablosantander]

the british writer always insists about believe in the victims, so, in this case, is the word of Gaiman against the word of Gaiman
ps: corious irony, in the background a figure of Cheech Wizard

[Myne]

Welp I know who won't be writing for Doctor Who anymore

[stephwiller]

WHY? Why screw with the tv shows? They are still good stories and actors have put work into them. These aren't even verified allegations yet. Do you know how many historical figures and authors were garbage people, doesn't mean you toss out their fictional work.

[jlt]

I assumed he was just a gay man, based on his name.

[TrumpWinsAmerica]

It won't be long this mindset needs to end just because you have fame money doesn't make it right. You have to respect each other in the relationship to make it work if you don't have that why bother.

[johngarrett]

I knew this guy was weird immediately decades ago.
And said I was intolerant or this or that...
Nope.
Just perceptive.

[AnaSchultz-kxtq]

By the descriptions those women simply acepted a prostitution job with him. This is not crime

[maureenwoodrich]

Me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
Me too

Sorry, but this article did not present things in a fair and balanced way. They never do. He made some very bad decisions and acted selfishly but I don't think it's nearly as bad as the article makes out. There's only one mitigating sentence in the whole thing, but it's a very powerful one. See if you can find it.

Listening to the Tortoise Media presentation you can actually get a lot more mitigating information, but even that was a hit piece.
