'Good Omens' author Neil Gaiman hit with multiple sexual abuse allegations

Novelist Neil Gaiman has been accused by multiple women of sexual abuse.

Among the accusers is Scarlett Pavlovich, who formerly babysat for Gaiman, 64, and his ex-wife Amanda Palmer, per Vulture.

Pavlovich shared in the January 13 report that she and Palmer had been friends since Pavlovich was 22.

Palmer, who Gaiman married in 2011, had asked Pavlovich to babysit her and Gaiman’s son at Gaiman’s Waiheke Island home in New Zealand. Pavlovich noted in the report that the couple was separated at the time.

Pavlovich recounted that she and Gaiman were alone in the house at the time of the incident as they were waiting for his son to end a playdate.

She alleged that Gaiman suggested she took a bath and when she got inside the bathtub, he also entered the bathroom.

“I said ‘no,'" Pavlovich relayed. "I said, ‘I’m not confident with my body, to which he said, ‘It’s okay. It’s only me. Just relax. Just have a chat.’”

Pavlovich explained in the report that he still assaulted her at the time and matters only escalated as days passed.

Pavlovich also noted that Gaiman’s son began to address her as a “slave” and ordered her to call him “master.”

Pavlovich also reported another sexual encounter later at a hotel where Gaiman took advantage of her while the child was still in the room.

The author was first accused of sexual assault in July 2023, when a British podcast Master released six episodes detailing the sexual assault allegations against Gaiman from five different women.

In earlier allegations, a woman named Caroline confessed to entering a physical relationship with Gaiman after her husband moved out from Gaiman and Palmer's Woodstock, NYC home, where they were working as caretakers.

Caroline recalled that one evening, she fell asleep reading to Gaiman’s son, then 4, in Gaiman and Palmer’s bed. When the author returned home, he allegedly got into the bed while his son was still in it and reached over him to put Caroline's hand on Gaiman's crotch.

“He didn’t have boundaries,” Caroline recalled. “I remember thinking that there was something really wrong with him."

Caroline claimed that, in December 2021, Gaiman's business manager offered her $5,000 if she signed an NDA and left Gaiman’s Woodstock property. Pavlovich also signed an NDA and was paid $9,200.

Multiple other women spoke with Vulture, including Katherine Kendall and Kendra Stout who recounted their encounters from the years 2012 and 2007 respectively.

Gaiman has denied all allegations since 2023 but also stepped back from production of the third season of Prime Video’s Good Omens adaptation.
