We’re getting to the lawsuit news a bit late but didn’t want to miss it as it’s a very big deal. It’s been months of horrific allegations against Neil Gaiman but the creator is being taken to court on allegations of rape, human trafficking, and more. His (ex)-wife Amanda Palmer is also named in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed in a Wisconsin court by Scarlett Pavlovich and the 28-page nine claim lawsuit includes claims of sodomy rape, describing Pavlovich as a “slave,” and more. Palmer is named in the suit for “procuring and presenting” the plaintiff to Gaiman.

The lawsuit is seeking at least $1 million in a jury trial. Pavolich is one of seven women who have come forward with stories concerning Gaiman.

Gaiman has been dropped by his representation and had comics, shows, and more cancelled or paused due to the allegations.
