On Monday, author Neil Gaiman faced accusations in a lawsuit for alleged repeated sexual assault against his former babysitter – claims initially brought up in a podcast on Tortoise Media last year.
Scarlett Pavlovich filed a lawsuit against Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman’s wife, claiming that she was aware of Gaiman’s past history of sexual misconduct when she employed Pavlovich. The lawsuit alleges that both Gaiman and Palmer are guilty of forced labor or human trafficking.
It’s claimed that Gaiman and Palmer exploited Pavlovich, who was impoverished and battling mental health problems. When she began working for them as a live-in nanny, they resided in separate houses on Waiheke Island, which is close to Auckland, New Zealand.

Gaiman and Palmer are accused of taking advantage of Pavlovich, who was poor and struggling with mental health issues. When she started working for them as a live-in nanny, they lived in separate houses on Waiheke Island, close to Auckland, New Zealand.
For several upcoming months, Pavlovich claims that Gaiman continuously and brutally sexually assaulted her. Additionally, he strangled her, struck her with a belt, referred to her as his “slave,” and insisted she address him as “master,” according to the lawsuit.
This version maintains the original’s meaning while using more natural language and making it easier for readers to comprehend.
The lawsuit claims that Gaiman forced Scarlett into numerous instances of non-consensual sexual acts. These actions were both harmful and humiliating… Scarlett tolerated these incidents as she feared losing her employment, housing, and future professional opportunities if she did not comply.
Initially, Pavlovich believed Gaiman to be trustworthy due to his cultivated image as a feminist. However, by the conclusion, Pavlovich revealed her feelings of despair, stating she required hospitalization at a mental health facility.
A New York Magazine story last month included allegations from eight women, including Pavlovich.
Neil Gaiman, a multi-talented creator behind numerous comics and novels, has found himself removed from various productions following the surfacing of accusations last summer. His Netflix show, “The Sandman,” is set to wrap up with its second season in the current year.
In a post on his website entitled “Breaking the Silence,” Gaiman denied the allegations.
He stated that while he’s not flawless, he has always avoided any form of non-consensual sexual behavior towards others. He emphasized this point strongly by adding ‘always.’
As a film critic, I must confess that Neil Gaiman’s own words reveal a certain degree of self-admitted ‘selfishness.’ He expressed remorse for not being more mindful about handling the emotions and feelings of his audience. However, it is crucial to note that he vehemently denied crossing any lines into abusive behavior.
He stated that certain shocking tales being shared today are completely fabricated, whereas others have been twisted beyond recognition, becoming unrecognizable compared to the truth.
