Renowned author Neil Gaiman, alongside his estranged wife Amanda Palmer, faces serious allegations in lawsuits filed by Scarlett Pavlovich, a former employee. The suits claim Pavlovich, who worked as a nanny for the couple, experienced sexual abuse and trafficking at Gaiman's hands, with Palmer allegedly failing to warn her of his behavior.

Scarlett Pavlovich alleges Gaiman raped and assaulted her during her employment in 2022, inflicting severe harm. Despite police reports filed against him, no criminal charges have surfaced. Gaiman has publicly denied all allegations, stating he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity. Palmer has yet to comment on the lawsuits.

Though details recently emerged, with a comics publisher halting collaborations with Gaiman, the legal proceedings are ongoing. Pavlovich is seeking significant financial compensation for her claims against the couple, highlighting the need for accountability and transparency in serious misconduct allegations.
