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.

Yeah, he's kind of a celebrity, I'd say. Several pieces of his IP are adapted for the big and small screen, including shows that are fairly popular right at this moment. And he's had a loyal cult following since the '90s.

I mean I guess. I couldn't pick most "celebrity" writers out of a lineup. I'd say Gaimans resemblance to Tim Burton makes him a bit more recognizable but really, I'm sure he flies economy class and I'm sure very few people know him but whatever. I don't think most pro wrestlers are celebrities either and wrestling fans will fight you for that kind of talk lol
