Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations: ‘I’ve Never Engaged in Non-Consensual Sexual Activity With Anyone. Ever’


Neil Gaiman has responded to a New York Magazine cover story in which several women accused the "Sandman" and "Coraline" author of sexual assault.

However, the NY Mag article amplified the story as the first major news organization to corroborate the full extent of the allegations against Gaiman. In the NY Mag piece, titled “There Is No Safe Word,” reporter Lila Shapiro spoke to eight women who had similar experiences with Gaiman, four of which also participated in Tortoise’s podcast. Disney paused production on its film adaptation of “The Graveyard Book” and Netflix canceled “Dead Boy Detectives,” though it’s unclear if it was related to the allegations.
