Author Neil Gaiman has been accused of raping his son’s nanny in the outdoor bathtub of their New Zealand home, a bombshell report claimed.

Neil Gaiman, aged 64, is known for his work as an author, which includes titles such as The Sandman, American Gods, Coraline (a children’s book), and the co-authored Good Omens with Terry Pratchett. The latter was later adapted into a television series by the BBC and Amazon.

Five women came forward in July accusing him of sexual assault which led to the third season of Good Omens being scrapped.

A recent report by Vulture has brought to light distressing claims made by multiple women regarding alleged assaults by Gaiman. The author has vehemently denied all these accusations.

One of the women, Scarlett Pavlovich, recounted an incident where she claimed Gaiman assaulted her by “rapping” her in an outdoor bathtub while she was caring for the son he shares with his ex-wife, Amanda Palmer, on February 4, 2022.

She said Gaiman encouraged her to take a bath after they had finished dinner despite her resistance. 

After she stripped down and got in, she claimed Gaiman got naked and joined. While he was in the tub, Pavlovich said he told her to stretch out.

‘I said “no.” I said, “I’m not confident with my body,'” Pavlovich said. ‘[Gaiman] said, “It’s okay — it’s only me. Just relax. Just have a chat.”

Pavlovich said the situation escalated from there and Gaiman sexually assaulted her.

She described that he penetrated her with his fingers, before attempting to do so with his penis – all while she told him no.

Pavlovich recalled how as Gaiman was climaxing, he if he could ejaculate on a certain part of her body – to which she declined. She claims he did so anyway. 

He allegedly told her during the act: ‘Call me master. Be a good girl. You’re a good little girl.’ 

In another incident, Pavlovich said Gaiman assaulted her while she was cleaning up the kitchen.

She said the author approached her from behind, pushed down her pants, began to beat her with his belt and the tried to penetrate her anally without lubrication.

After screaming no, Pavlovich said he grabbed butter out of the kitchen and used that as lubrication.

Pavlovich claimed when it was over he called her ‘slave’ and ordered her to ‘clean him up.’ 

The author has vehemently denied all allegations

A second woman, Kendra Stout, claimed Gaiman forced her to have rough sex with him

A second woman, Kendra Stout, told the outlet Gaiman forced her to have rough sex with him.

Stout said during one experience with Gaiman she had a urinary tract infection and asked Gaiman not to penetrate her, but he ignored her.

The Tortoise podcast hosted by journalist and broadcaster Rachel Johnson first broke the news of allegations of sexually abuse by Gaiman.

Two women claimed he made them engage in ‘rough and degrading sex’ which was not always consensual, and told them to call him ‘master.’ 

Two other women also came forward with allegations following Tortoise’s investigation.

Writer Julia Hobsbawm said Gaiman had made an ‘aggressive, unwanted pass’ at her at her flat in 1986, jumping on her ‘out of the blue’ and attempting to kiss her.

Gaiman says he had stopped kissing Hobsbawm when he realized she did not want him to.

Another woman, mother-of-three Caroline Wallner, alleged that he pressured her to have sex with him in return for allowing her live with her daughters at his property in New York.

She alleged it took place over a four year period from 2017, after she split from her ex-husband. Gaiman insists the relationship was consensual.

A fifth woman has also alleged that Gaiman kissed and groped her when on a bus during a book tour of the US back in July 2013.

The author says he stopped kissing the woman when he knew she did not want him to, and denies the claims of groping.
