The singer-songwriter posted a statement on Instagram after multiple women accused the author of sexual misconduct in a New York Magazine article this week
Posting on her Instagram account, the American singer wrote: “As there are ongoing custody and divorce proceedings, I am not able to offer public comment. Please understand that I am first and foremost a parent. I ask for privacy at this time.” Palmer and Gaiman, who married in 2011, and have one child together, are currently in the process of getting divorced.
Further allegations were made after the podcast was released, including by a woman who had worked as Gaiman’s caretaker in upstate New York who said that the author had put pressure on her to have sex with him in return for letting her live at his property, then made her sign a non-disclosure agreement in return for a $275,000 payment. Again, Gaiman’s position was that his relationship with her had been consensual.
For New York Magazine’s report on Monday, journalist Lila Shapiro interviewed eight women, six on the record, including the four women who had participated in the Tortoise podcast series. The accusations made by these women included claims of sexual assault, sexual misconduct and coercion.Discover new books and learn more about your favourite authors with our expert reviews, interviews and news stories.
