I'm OOTL on this, did Gaiman do something?

[–] jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

from wikipedia:

Claire described non-consensual kissing and groping by Gaiman after meeting him at a book tour event, as well as a $60,000 payment from Gaiman to her in August 2022.[176] A woman identified as "K", who also first met Gaiman at a book signing, said that during their relationship he subjected her to painful sex that she "neither wanted nor enjoyed".[21][177]

Scarlett Pavlovich, a former nanny for Gaiman and Palmer's child, alleges that Gaiman sexually assaulted her within hours of their first meeting in February 2022.[177] Pavlovich recalled that he said, "Amanda told me I couldn't have you" after the assault; according to one of Palmer's friends, Palmer had previously told Gaiman, "You could really hurt this person and break her; keep your hands off of her". Pavlovich said that Gaiman had anal sex with her in the presence of his son.[21]

Caroline Wallner, a former tenant of Gaiman's, alleges that he demanded sexual favours in exchange for being allowed to continue living on his property.[21][178] Wallner says that on one occasion, Gaiman grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis while his young son was asleep in the same bed.[21] In 2021, Wallner, her ex-husband, and Gaiman signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and Gaiman paid Wallner $275,000. In early 2025, Gaiman and Wallner both requested arbitration, the dispute resolution method mandated by the NDA, each accusing the other of violating the agreement.[179]

The writer Julia Hobsbawm accused Gaiman of "an aggressive, unwanted pass" and described how Gaiman pushed her onto a sofa and French kissed her in 1986.[178][180]

and something that made it really fucking obvious, if it wasn't already:

In a blog post responding to coverage of the allegations against him, Gaiman said there were "moments I half-recognise and moments I don't".

he doesn't even fucking try to deny it

E: something else that pisses me off is this part:

Gaiman has denied engaging in non-consensual sex, and dismissed Hobsbawm's allegations as misreading the situation.[178][180]

If she says he sexually assaulted her and he says she fucking misread the situation, then he sexually assaulted her. are you fucking kidding me. the most good-faith interpretation is that he misread the situation an assaulted her without intending to do so, but given the track-record and the fact that he says that she misread the situation instead of being horrified at himself, I am willing to extend absolutely no good faith.

JFC. This is why we can't have nice things anymore! What is it with being rich and sex stuff? Like Hunter is rich, and he just got himself some big booty latinas hookers i.e.; completely consenting adults! (Also pretty sure he shared his blow with them, which is a bro move). So it's not all of them. But the disgusting amount of people Epstein had in his BoB, and r Kelly, and Diddy, and Kevin spacey, and...

I'm tired boss.

Wow, what a peice of shit human. I'm glad I've not gotten into any of his work so I can just simply avoid.

Thank you for providing all this information and sources.

It's a real bummer because The Sandman was incredible

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Mostly yes, but we should not step this low. From the original source linked in Wikipedia:

His position is that it was no more than a young man misreading a situation,

So the bad wording is wikipedias fault

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Conflated abuse with being a dom.

[–] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

While I'm not one to shame someone's sexual proclivities, there is absolutely lines and consents requirements. So if you engage in stuff that cross lines or without consent, you've lost me.

He doesn't sound like a decent guy.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 19 hours ago

Yup. No one cares if you wanna get greased up and play human pig farm, but this arsehole sexually abused multiple women, one of them incredibly horrifically then had the balls to turn around and say "hurr i thought it was consensual"

I'm not part of the scene but i understand that a "dom" that doesn't pay attention to whether or not the sub is consenting and enjoying themselves is no dom at all. Just an abusive cunt.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah he uh did the whole abuse thing en masse. His ex wife would find babysitters who he could have sex with IIRC. It was a whole thing, the women involved weren't exactly left feeling like they had any choice in the matter. But I don't really remember the details.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Accused of sexual misconduct from what i recall, I don't remember the details
