Neil Gaiman said he has never had non-consensual sexual activity as he denied sexual assault claims.
The writer of Sandman and Good Omens responded to a New York Magazine cover article in which several women accused he of sexual assault.
He wrote on his personal blog: “I have never had non-consensual sexual relations with anyone. Ever.”
In the full statement, released on the morning of January 14, the author expressed regret for how he has handled personal relationships, writing that he was “emotionally unavailable while sexually available, focused on myself and not as reflective as I could or should be.” have been.” .”
However, he denies any accusation of sexual assault, adding: “I am not willing to turn my back on the truth and I cannot accept being described as someone I am not, and I cannot and will not admit to having done things I am not.” “I didn’t do it.”
Gaiman has steadfastly denied all allegations against him since the Tortoise podcast was published, stating that all relationships were consensual.
His new blog post is his most complete statement on the allegations yet.
Since Tortoise’s report in July, several of Gaiman’s film and television projects have been affected.
Season 3 of Prime Video’s Good Omens will now end with a 90-minute episode, and Gaiman will not be part of the production.
Disney halted production on its film adaptation of The Graveyard Book and Netflix canceled Dead Boy Detectives, although it is unclear if this was related to the allegations.
But The Sandman season 2 is still expected to release this year on Netflix, as well as Prime Video’s Anansi Boys series adaptation.
In his full statement, Gaiman wrote: “Over the past few months, I have watched the stories circulating on the Internet about me with horror and dismay.
“I have remained silent until now, both out of respect for the people who shared their stories and a desire not to draw further attention to so much misinformation.
“I have always tried to be a private person and increasingly feel that social media is the wrong place to talk about important personal matters. Now I’ve reached the point where I feel like I should say something.
“As I read this latest collection of stories, there are moments I half recognize and moments I don’t, descriptions of things that happened alongside things that emphatically did not happen.
“I’m far from a perfect person, but I’ve never had non-consensual sex with anyone. Never”.
