Neil Gaiman: Neil Gaiman ‘raped family nanny in outdoor bathtub’: Shocking details emerge

Neil Gaiman previously denied the sexual assault allegations against him when they surfaced last year.

A year after author Neil Gaiman was accused of sexual assault, several complaints have surfaced that reveal shocking details about Gaiman’s decades-long abuse of women in the family atmosphere. A Vulture report has compiled the allegations from a total of eight different women, including a Scarlett Pavlovich who used to babysit Gaiman’s child. Pavlovich was close to Gaiman’s ex-wife Amanda Palmer and agreed to look after their child when she was away. It was the first time she met Neil Gaiman, and that meeting led to a non-consensual sexual encounter after Gaiman encouraged her to take a bath in their old garden tub and later joined her. During that meeting, Gaiman wanted her to call him ‘master’.
‘I said “no”. I said, ‘I’m not sure about my body,'” Pavlovich said. ‘(Gaiman) said, “It’s okay – it’s just me. Just relax. Just have a chat.” She described him penetrating her with his fingers before trying to do so with his penis – all while she said no. Pavlovich recalled how, when he reached his climax, Gaiman asked if he could ejaculate on a certain part of her body – which she refused. She claims he did it anyway.
Pavlovich noted that she confided in her ex-wife and filed a police report, but the case did not move forward as neither Palmer nor Gaiman released a statement. She claims she later signed an NDA regarding the alleged sexual assault, in which he paid her a total of $9,200 over nine months.
The report highlights that most of the women he allegedly abused were in their 20s, with the youngest being 18. He was in his 40s or older. Another woman, Kendra Stout, reveals that the author “didn’t believe in foreplay or lubrication,” and would engage in BDSM practices, even though “there was no discussion of ‘safe words’ or ‘finishing’ or ‘boundaries.’
False Memories: What Gaiman Said
Since the first report broke in 2024, the author and his representatives vehemently denied all the allegations, although it caused a setback for the production of Good Omens. Gaiman responded to the Kendra Stout and Pavlovich stories, defending himself in both cases. He said his relationship with Kendra was never illicit and said Pavlovich had a condition about which she had false memories.
