The statement is at the end of the article
To the journalists who fill the articles with fluff and put the actual new material at the end to get the web site better engagement
I hope your toes get run over ….. respectfully
So… did he do anything wrong? What’s the truth?
Nope I believe women , the NY times article was very telling. Just because a case was thrown out doesn’t mean he’s not guilty . He’s a pos
Regardless of what the story is, at minimum he’s still a creep for sleeping with his son’s babysitter, someone young enough to be his granddaughter and an employee. Huge abuse of power.
There’s a solid podcast on the allegations against him. It’s harrowing stuff. Sounds like he was into s/m and his wealth/power/fame let him follow that to very dark places:

I can’t believe I ever bought into this guy.
That statement at the end is so slimey. Just oozing with “who-me?” sleaze—working so hard to present itself as something he just quickly wrote. I’m sure he’s been workshopping this statement since the allegations happened. Nothing to see here, just an ever-noble soul, wearily treading through this “smear campaign.”
The shit stain can afford better lawyers than his accusers. Now he’s playing the victim. Poor little Neil. I hope no publisher bites.
I had the full sandman run, nearly every book. I took them off my shelves. Love his stories and his talks about writing. But what a heinous person.
I thought Gaiman was a terrific author. I read all his books. Never again.
He’s a rapist. I don’t care what he has to say
The actual evidence is that he admitted to sexual relationships with employees. It might not be enough to charge him in court, but he’s still a scumbag. When telling someone no might mean they fire you, especially when you’re young and desperate for work, consent becomes a lot more dubious.
Oh fuck him and let’s move on to a different topic. He’s best forgotten.
One of the high schools I sub at has a bunch of plaques bolted to the wall with inspirational quotes.
Several of those plaques are quoting him.
Whoops.
*Fuuuuuuuuck yooooouuuuuu,* Neil Gaiman.
Dude fucked his own legacy with every bad choice.
It’s ok Neil, there are troves of other high powered authors who can write well and don’t have galactic sexual trauma and a giant malformed ego.
Fuck Neil Gaiman and his enabler wife too
Nah son, fuck that.
Honestly considering I had this happen to a friend. In high school. Who served time in a Boys Camp/Juvenile Detention Center for it. And was later proven innocent… by the victim admitting she lied because she was afraid of her dad’s reaction to her being sexually active. I am open to the idea it could be a smear campaign… gonna need hard evidence in court. But I’m 100% open to it. Til then… may he enjoy early retirement or jail at best, if found guilty of course….
Why does JK Rowling get continually called out when this predator was allowed to quietly retire after his fandom „tsk tsk“‚d him for a week?
Right wing turn in 5…4…
Based on the number of tiktoks I’ve seen trashing this man, I would believe it’s a smear campaign. Organic thirst for accountability hasn’t followed any other artist I can think of. All the evidence is a podcast, and he showed up in court with exonerating text message records, right?
