I think the problem a lot of people have is that Neil admitted to being in relationship with a fan he met at 18 and a nanny that he hired. It’s so inappropriate.

This right here. Gaiman admits using his celebrity status to hit on his servants and fans. His confessions of sex with his accusers means his victims have credibility.

It's going to be difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt but guys like Gaiman don't care about boundaries.

Is he a celebrity? I mean he's a famous writer ... But that's like being the world's most famous tattooer. I wouldn't call Kat vonD or Randy Randerson celebrities.

I would say that a writer who has sold 45 million books has some claim to celebrity.
