Two more women have come forward with allegations of sexual assault and abuse against Neil Gaiman following the initial accusations about the author.

Following initial investigation in July, three more women come forward, including one who signed NDA following her experience with author

Edit: Not sure why the link abstract says two. The article clearly says three.

    I don’t know man, if I was a globally recognised author, there’s might be quite a few reasons for NDA’s besides sexual assault?

    While Gaiman’s account denied any non-consensual sex with the two women, their allegations raised questions about whether he had reasonable belief in consent for sex with them given their vulnerability. Gaiman asked one of them to sign a non-disclosure agreement, the first of two known NDAs he signed with former sexual partners, suggesting weak confidence that his account would survive public scrutiny.

    Celebrity marriages pretty much always have prenups with confidentiality agreements. Idk why celebrity sex relationships would be so different.

    To be clear I’m not arguing he’s innocent, I’ll read the evidence and accounts. I just know when I personally listen to him narrating an audiobook, his hypnotic voice sometimes makes it feel almost like a sex crime.

    But that isn’t to be taken as me taking any actual sex crimes lightly. Just saying.
