I'm glad to see this bumped up the agenda again. According to Rachel Johnston, the NY magazine article presents material the Tortoise podcast couldn't include due to the UK's tougher libel laws.

I am irritated by the take that Amanda and Neil are equally culpable though, and comparisons with the systematic sourcing of girls for Jeffrey Epstein by Ghislaine Maxwell. Both women had comfortable lifestyles as a result of their relationships with very rich men, so had a lot to lose, but I suspect Amanda has justified all manner of awful situations to herself without expressly entering a compact to deliver victims to Neil. When confronted, she expresses regret and engages with the situation (at least until legal damage control mechanisms like NDA's kick in).
His responses on the other hand are dead-eyed and psychopathic eg "On one of these visits, he found her crying by the fireplace. He walked over to her, stuck his thumb in her mouth, and twisted her nipples. She told Gaiman the arrangement was making her “feel bad.” She recalls him replying, “I don’t want you to feel bad.”"
It's as if people expect men to be awful, but hold women to a much higher standard, that they should intervene and manage the situation - hence when a famous man does something dreadful, the chorus asks what the women in their life knew, and why they didn't do anything, even when they were victims themselves.
Amanda seems narcissistic, self-serving and exploitative, but I can't see that she broke any actual laws, whereas her nightmare of an ex should definitely be in prison.
