Well, this was the most harrowing fucking thing I've ever had to work on, and I'm just the damn lawyer. Can't imagine the client living it, and it's a goddamn privilege to represent her.
DO NOT READ THIS unless you can handle details of some truly vile sexual abuse by Neil Gaiman.

Thank you for your work, and good luck.
I will not be reading this filing…
The Vulture piece was horrifying enough.
The actual filing was...much, much worse.
I know the group I'd want to practice with, if I was to turn to practice.
The shock expressed by people who have will tell you all you need.
Evil.
I hope you win coming and going on all counts.
Also I want to get my money back for the several books of his I have.
Guy is on my perma-"do not buy" list, a small and gross thing.
And, seconded.
Second your second.
"Of paragraph 9:
(a) it is admitted that [...]
(b) the assertion that [...] is denied
(c) it is further admitted that [...] save that it is averred that [...]
As a result, the filing was at once a powerful case and a crystalline, horror-filled narrative.
Reading this made it crystal clear. Thank you Scarlet for being so brave. ❤️
Clearly neither are FIT parents. or human beings.
At 333, do you mean sadism?

Nothing but respect for the client. I cannot imagine the courage it takes for her to do it.
Thank you & team for taking her case.
Take him down.
Thank you for taking her on as a client. I hope the court system works here.
May i recommend Tetris? There's some evidence to show it reduces risk of PTSD. After you do the...harrowing bits...play a session.
This is rough just to read.
He deserves what’s coming. But it killed a part of me that believed in who I thought he was
So, it’s just profoundly disappointing
And incredibly well presented.
I hope you get her ALL THE MONEY
then i asked myself; how many other celebs do this?
power is horror
May you - may justice - prevail.
I absolutely WILL read this because turning a blind eye is what enables others.
Like every time he came up on my Tumblr feed my alarm bells would go off. I couldn't get into his books either.
Doesn't feel good to have it validated. Thanks for defending the victim.
Seriously don’t read this unless you’re inclined to defend the accused because you once liked their writing/music and want to believe claims this is just a misunderstanding.
There’s not enough brain bleach to unread that.
I'm overwhelmed. Two of my favorite creatives, who I discovered separately at big points in my life, are ...well, no longer that to me. What's described is horrifying. I pray @akivamcohen.bsky.social gets her justice.
It's a shame so much talent has been wasted. But wasted it was!
(PS: Para 333, "sadism," I would think? The infliction of pain on others?)
(Not that I think there'll be much of that trouble in this case.)
I’m going to get out of bed and throw away a few books and then wash my hands.
Line 189 broke me.. not a contest, if you got that far you know, if not you had better sense than me for when to stop.
Best of luck to the team, and best wishes to Scarlett for proper resolution.
I'm glad she has you guys representing her.
Horrific.
I have no words…
Those whom, upon being told something is awful and horrible and the worst thing ever, nod and walk away.
Those who say "Oh, it can't be *that* bad..."
I feel very sorry for the jury who's going to have to hear about all of this, in detail.
As a survivor, and I acknowledge this may be a little unusual, I don't find it hard to read these descriptions. I feel for the victim, but I am not harmed. Only she was.
I did stop, in fact. Then I went back because I wanted my negative feelings for Gaiman to reach maximum potential.
I dearly hope your action prevails, that she is compensated (in whatever bandaid fashion that is possible) and people SEE this.
Whatever she gets awarded isn't enough.
to you & the team representing her, eternal gratitude for your work so far, what lies ahead & for handling it all - & her - with care.
Perhaps an escrow account should be set up. I suppose that's beyond the scope of this particular case.
Get 'em, and thank you.
Question regarding PHV representation: I was under the impression that you needed a local attorney to "vouch" for you to be allowed to practice,/
But that's what the official legalese for this type of document is in the US system? A "complaint"? Thanks if you know.
And also, replies work differently in Bluesky than I thought.
Sorry to bother you. It REALLY seems like you have some important work to do.
You’re doing a Captain America.
We see you.
It's as bad as you imagine and then a bit more.
No need to do that to yourself.
