British author Neil Gaiman is facing fresh allegations of sexual assault from multiple women again after similar charges were reported against him a few months ago, according to a New York Magazine, Vulture’s cover story.
A total of eight women have alleged Gaiman of assault, coercion or abuse by Gaiman in an article titled “There Is No Safe Word”. This includes Scarlett Pavlovich, who used to babysit his child.
Scarlett Pavlovich has claimed that she was close to Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman’s ex-wife, and used to babysit their child when she was away. During her encounter with Neil Gaiman, he encouraged her to take a bath in their old garden tub and joined her later. The author wanted Pavlovich to call him “master”. She replied to him, saying, “No, I’m not confident with my body.”
Gaiman responded by saying, “It’s okay — it’s only me. Just relax. Just have a chat,” according to Scarlett Pavlovich.
