Amanda Palmer Denies Sexual Assault Lawsuit Claims Against Neil Gaiman

Amanda Palmer, ex-wife of author Neil Gaiman, has publicly denied allegations of negligence and complicity in sexual assault, following a lawsuit filed by a former nanny who claims Gaiman sexually assaulted her. The lawsuit alleges that Palmer befriended the woman when she was 22 and homeless in New Zealand, and claims both Palmer and Gaiman violated federal human trafficking laws. Gaiman has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct from several women, which he has denied, stating he has never engaged in non-consensual activity. Palmer, in her Instagram statement, expressed a desire for privacy as she navigates this challenging time, emphasizing her priority to protect their child. The fallout from the allegations has led to the cancellation of Gaiman's projects, including upcoming comic book releases and a stage adaptation of 'Coraline.' Both Palmer and Gaiman have stated they will respond to the allegations in due course.
