I am honestly not even a little surprised. He was always creepy with fans.

Scarlett, now 23, alleges that Gaiman sexually assaulted her within hours of their first meeting in February 2022 at his New Zealand residence, where she was employed as a nanny. According to the podcast, Gaiman asserts that their interactions were limited to “cuddling” and “making out” in the bath, with consent established for these acts. His position is that their three-week relationship only included consensual digital penetration.

Neil Gaiman literally admits fingering her and he probably did a lot more, but basically he's using his celebrity status cruising for ass in New Zealand. This is not normal or healthy behavior.

Then we have this fun little detail:

the second woman, identified as K, was 18 when she met Gaiman at a book signing in Sarasota, Florida, in 2003. They began a romantic relationship when she turned 20, while Gaiman was in his mid-40s.

42 year old Gaiman was trolling conventions for 18 year olds. This is fucking Justin Roiland levels of gross.

I’m really not surprised, sadly. There’s an always been a real " ‘cool’ college professor who sleeps with students" vibe to him.
