**London, UK** – Bestselling author Neil Gaiman has vehemently denied allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by eight women in a New York Magazine article published Monday. The allegations, some of which were initially reported by Tortoise Media last year, include claims of sexual assault.
In a blog post responding to the accusations, Gaiman stated he had never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity. While acknowledging past relationships and admitting he could have been more considerate of others’ feelings, he insisted all sexual encounters were consensual. He expressed regret for being “careless with people’s hearts and feelings” and said he is working to improve.
One allegation detailed in the New York Magazine article involved an alleged assault during a bath while babysitting Gaiman’s child. The article also claims that while some accusers used the term “master,” this did not imply consent to all alleged activities. Gaiman’s representatives previously stated that BDSM activities are legal between consenting adults.
A police report filed in January 2023 was later dropped. The allegations have reportedly impacted several film and television adaptations of Gaiman’s works, including *Good Omens* and *The Graveyard Book*. Gaiman maintains that some allegations are entirely false while others are distorted, and he intends to “deserve the trust” of his readers. He concludes by stating he is committed to personal growth and learning from his past actions.
