‘Sandman’ Writer Neil Gaiman Faces New Sexual Assault Allegations

by

As a fervent admirer of Neil Gaiman, I must express my concern about the recent allegations of sexual misconduct that have surfaced against him, particularly in relation to his acclaimed work, “The Sandman.” These claims are troubling and demand attention and investigation.

After the allegations of sexual assault against Neil Gaiman by two women surfaced during the previous summer, New York Magazine is now reporting further accusations against him.

Please be advised, should you choose to proceed and read the full article, it contains graphic descriptions that some might find distressing, including claims of rape and torture.

The extensive piece delves into the rising number of women speaking out about accusations of assault, manipulation, and mistreatment, with around a dozen women reportedly implicated in these incidents.

The article implies that Neil Gaiman, a Polish Jewish immigrant’s descendant, might have endured physical abuse and torture during his childhood at the hands of his parents who were heavily involved in the initial stages of the Church of Scientology. They held significant roles within the church and had a direct relationship with its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. For a period of two years, they resided just down the street from Hubbard and near the global headquarters of the Church of Scientology.

The article suggests that Gaiman intentionally sought out a specific group of young women, often gothic-styled girls facing challenging situations, and allegedly exploited them financially by using his wealth. Reports indicate that some of these women were either fans or staff members hired as nannies. Furthermore, it is alleged that both he and his wife knew about these relationships and their marriage was not monogamous.

According to several women, Neil Gaiman has behaved in a manner reminiscent of a character from his own tales by asking them to address him as “Master.” One individual even alleged that he requested she pledge her soul to him. Notably, the podcast that initially brought these accusations to light shares the same name as this Master.

Neil Gaiman’s team refutes the accusations in the article, insisting that all encounters were consensual. Reports indicate that Gaiman and his spouse are going through a contentious divorce, with claims that he has drained her financially during the process. Additionally, it is suggested that his wife played a significant role in the recent emergence of these allegations.

After the accusations in July, the show “Good Omens” on Amazon Prime Video was terminated prematurely, concluding with a single 90-minute episode instead of having a third season. Neil Gaiman still has “Anansi Boys” set to premiere on Prime Video, and “The Sandman” Season 2 is scheduled for release later this year on Netflix.
