Six months after author Neil Gaiman was accused of sexual assault by two women, including one from New Zealand, more allegations against him have been revealed.
The 64-year-old author was first accused of sexual assault in July 2023, by UK-based platform Tortoise media in a podcast series called Master: The allegations against Neil Gaiman. That investigation was eventually dropped.
But this week, multiple women have spoken to Vulture, a US entertainment news page for the New York Magazine, with allegations of sexual assault. Writer Lila Shapiro spoke with eight women who detailed their experiences, including four who had previously been featured on the podcast.
Gaiman's representatives have denied the allegations, telling the US publication that he and the women had engaged in consensual encounters.
The Vulture article states that all of the accusers had at some point played along with Gaiman’s desires to some extent by calling him “master” and continuing to communicate with him, but the women allege that consent and specific BDSM activities which they say took place had not been discussed and agreed upon prior to them happening.
