Neil Gaiman Accused Of Sexual Assault Pt II

[hihelenhi]

As we're nearly at the end of the first thread, let's make sure we keep the topic current.

There have been five women now who have spoken to podcasts about the predatory behaviour of Neil Gaiman.

First thread here:

Itd be great if you could provide links to those podcasts as a recap.

Well, here is the link to the Tortoise one.

And here is the other one, from a podcast called Am I Broken?

Thank you, much appreciated

Thank you for the new thread.

Pity there has to be a new thread about Neil who? but needs must, so thank you.

No worries, I thought we were running out of posts a bit fast back there!

And we wouldn't want Neil to think we'd forgotten about him or were going to let it sink without trace, would we?

Thanks for the new thread!

Yes we wouldn't wish for Neil to feel as though he's not being discussed just because he's decided to make no statements whatsoever about all these accusations.

Maybe he's being polite and waiting until the list of accusations hits 10?

Methinks the creep gets far more attention than he deserves. Personally Im finding it all very prurient

Thank you

Thanks again for the new thread. I wouldn't want him to succeed in getting away with it just by lying low for a few months.

Annoyingly i have a different name on this thread than the old one. Anyway. Still waiting for the statement.

Thanks for the new thread.

55 days of the world knowing you're an abusive creep and not a word out of your nasty mouth. Call yourself a writer but you can't even write your own excuse.

Thanks for new thread!

6th episode dropped alleges he told one of his accusers he obviously fucked up offering her $60,000 towards therapy and a heft donation to a rape crisis charity.

But apparently never made the donation.

Is this the same Claire from the other podcast? It sounds like the same story. Or maybe they're all just blurring into one now.

Sorry, I mean the same person in this Tortoise episode as in the Am I Broken podcast?

Edit: It is the same person.

It's so creepy hearing NG's voice telling her that she was going to keep seeing his name everywhere for the rest of her life. He is gross.

Thanks for the new thread

I'd been putting off listening to the podcasts (I've read summaries) because I was worried about how triggering they would be for me. I listened to the first two episodes back to back this afternoon and I wasn't wrong. I've been sitting trying not to break down in tears about all the years I wasted and all the horrible things I put up with for the sake of the illusion of being loved and part of a family. When I swore it all off it left a huge hole in my life that I can't even fathom attempting to refill because I never, ever want to be in that position again. It brought up so many traumatic memories and feelings that I'm not really sure what to do with, other than try my best to sit with them and tolerate them. Fortunately I have an EMDR session tomorrow so hopefully this will help.
