The estranged wife of the bestselling author and accused sexual predator has issued a brief statement rebutting allegations that she aided his behaviour.
Amanda Palmer, the estranged wife of author and accused sex predator Neil Gaiman, has denied allegations levelled against her in US court proceedings by former nanny Scarlett Pavlovich.
Pavlovich, who was a 22-year-old drama student when she met Palmer on an Auckland street in 2020, has accused Gaiman of human trafficking, sexual abuse, assault, rape, and coercion, beginning in February 2022. The suit also names Palmer, accusing her of “procuring” Pavlovich for Gaiman and failing to warn her of her husband’s history of alleged sexual misconduct.
Stressing that she maintains her “recent request for privacy as I navigate this extremely difficult moment” and that her chief desire was to “protect my young child and his privacy”, she added: “I will not respond to the specific allegations being made against me except to say that I deny the allegations and will respond in due course.”
Although the accusations occurred in New Zealand, where Palmer and Gaiman owned separate houses, Pavlovich’s suit has been filed in three US states, including Wisconsin, where Gaiman owns a home, and New York and Massachusetts, where Palmer has residency..
Pavlovich claims she was an “economic hostage” to the couple, as she was effectively homeless at the time and did not receive any payment from them until after her employment ended.
