  from wikipedia:

  Claire described non-consensual kissing and groping by Gaiman after meeting him at a book tour event, as well as a $60,000 payment from Gaiman to her in August 2022.[176] A woman identified as “K”, who also first met Gaiman at a book signing, said that during their relationship he subjected her to painful sex that she “neither wanted nor enjoyed”.[21][177]

  Scarlett Pavlovich, a former nanny for Gaiman and Palmer’s child, alleges that Gaiman sexually assaulted her within hours of their first meeting in February 2022.[177] Pavlovich recalled that he said, “Amanda told me I couldn’t have you” after the assault; according to one of Palmer’s friends, Palmer had previously told Gaiman, “You could really hurt this person and break her; keep your hands off of her”. Pavlovich said that Gaiman had anal sex with her in the presence of his son.[21]

  Caroline Wallner, a former tenant of Gaiman’s, alleges that he demanded sexual favours in exchange for being allowed to continue living on his property.[21][178] Wallner says that on one occasion, Gaiman grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis while his young son was asleep in the same bed.[21] In 2021, Wallner, her ex-husband, and Gaiman signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and Gaiman paid Wallner $275,000. In early 2025, Gaiman and Wallner both requested arbitration, the dispute resolution method mandated by the NDA, each accusing the other of violating the agreement.[179]

  The writer Julia Hobsbawm accused Gaiman of “an aggressive, unwanted pass” and described how Gaiman pushed her onto a sofa and French kissed her in 1986.[178][180]

  and something that made it really fucking obvious, if it wasn’t already:

  In a blog post responding to coverage of the allegations against him, Gaiman said there were “moments I half-recognise and moments I don’t”.

  he doesn’t even fucking try to deny it

    Mostly yes, but we should not step this low. From the original source linked in Wikipedia:

    His position is that it was no more than a young man misreading a situation,

    So the bad wording is wikipedias fault
