Palmer Denies Trafficking Claims in Gaiman Lawsuit

Amanda Palmer, estranged wife of Neil Gaiman, has denied allegations of human trafficking and negligence in a lawsuit filed by former nanny Scarlett Pavlovich. Pavlovich accuses Gaiman of sexual assault and claims Palmer was complicit by failing to warn her about Gaiman's alleged history of misconduct, despite knowing of past accusations. The lawsuit also claims Palmer brought Pavlovich to Gaiman's home under false pretenses, knowing the potential for abuse. Palmer, who is seeking privacy to protect her child, has publicly denied the allegations via social media, stating she will respond in due course. Gaiman has also denied the allegations, which have resulted in significant professional repercussions, including the cancellation of his projects by publishers and agents. Pavlovich is seeking $7 million in damages, and this legal battle follows previous accusations from several other women against Gaiman.
