The British author and screenwriter Neil Gaiman has been exposed to new allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse. The author, known for popular works such as Good omens, American Gods and the sandman, had previously faced similar charges.

Eight women have opened up about the abuse and harassment they suffered from Gaiman in a New York Magazine article. One of the accusers worked as a nanny for Gaiman and his second wife, Amanda Palmer, a musician. She alleged that Gaiman assaulted her in New Zealand in 2022.

According to reports, Gaiman has mostly assaulted women in their 20s. During these alleged incidents, Gaiman was in his 40s. The author was previously accused of sexual misconduct by five women in July 2024. The women revealed the details in the podcast master, produced by Tortoise Media.

JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, spoke about the allegations and slammed the authorship for not talking about it. “The literary crowd that had a hell of a lot to say about Harvey Weinstein before he was convicted has been strangely muted in its response to multiple allegations against Neil Gaiman,” she wrote on X. Gaiman, 63, a bestselling author, has denied the allegations.
