She says most of the women were in their 20s when they met Gaiman: the youngest was 18, two of them worked for him, five were his fans.

“With one exception, an allegation of forcible kissing from 1986, when Gaiman was in his mid-20s, the stories take place when Gaiman was in his 40s or older, a period in which he lived among the US, the UK, and New Zealand,” she writes.

A slew of planned and ongoing television and film projects based on works by Gaiman have been left in limbo or cancelled amidst the allegations, though studios have been hesitant to cite the allegations as the specific reason. Disney has paused a plan for a movie adaptation of The Graveyard Book, Netflix has decided not to renew the series Dead Boy Detectives, and pre-production was paused on the final season of Prime Video’s Good Omens before the decision was made to wrap up the series with a single 90-minute episode rather than a full season.

Gaiman denies the allegations.
