Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual Assault Allegations in Public Statement

The author refutes claims of non-consensual activity, acknowledging past personal missteps and vowing to reflect and improve.

Neil Gaiman has publicly denied allegations of sexual assault made by multiple women, asserting that all his relationships were consensual.
The allegations, initially brought to light in a podcast last year, were expanded upon in a detailed New York Magazine article this week.
Gaiman expressed regret over being emotionally unavailable and careless in his relationships but maintained that he never engaged in non-consensual acts.
Several of Gaiman's professional collaborators, including publishers and production companies, have declined to comment on their future partnerships with him.
Some accusers and observers have criticized the muted response from the publishing and entertainment industries, calling for greater accountability.
