Renowned author Neil Gaiman and his estranged wife, musician Amanda Palmer, have been sued by their former nanny, Scarlett Pavlovich, in a lawsuit alleging rape and human trafficking. The lawsuit claims that Gaiman sexually assaulted her multiple times during her employment in 2022, causing significant emotional and physical distress. Pavlovich further alleges that Palmer was aware of Gaiman’s past misconduct but failed to warn her.
The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $1 million and has already sparked massive controversy in the literary and entertainment industries. Gaiman has denied the allegations, stating that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity. Palmer has yet to publicly respond to the accusations.
As the case gains traction, professional consequences have followed. Reports indicate that Dark Horse Comics will no longer publish Gaiman’s works, and Netflix has allegedly scrapped the next adaptation of his hit series, The Sandman. Fans of Coraline, American Gods, and Good Omens have been left stunned by the allegations, with many awaiting further legal developments.
