JFC.

I understand Gaiman is the main subject here but Palmer ... hoo boy.

I heard other people talk about her being an “enabler” but based on this article she sounds way worse than just an enabler to me. She was literally sending women to him. She’s just as culpable in this, in my opinion.

she was his ghislaine maxwell. and also she was *herself* exploiting a lot of those women, for free childcare & other kinds of labor even if not sexually

jwolf.bsky.social•43 days ago

Agreed.

There’s a bit at the end of the article where some of the victims realized that they all fit a physical type, it’s like AP was scouting out for women of his type, and then putting them in his proximity.

i’ve gotten ‘big narcissism’ vibes off of amanda palmer for years. i don’t know her personally at all, but she radiates it—and i’m not referring at all to her million photos, of herself. looking up. imploringly.

the Child is likely already in some very deep psychological shit.

"Procurer" might not be too excessive a word here. I've said this elsewhere today; to my way of thinking, her role in this wretched business seems in some ways worse than that of Gaiman herself. After all, she's the one who's held herself out for many years as an advocate for, and defender of,...

Procurer, groomer, facilitator all are accurate. She's the Ghislaine Maxwell of this story.

joea64.bsky.social•43 days ago

...victims of sexual abuse, especially young women. What we've learned today makes a mockery of all that.

Yep. I keep waiting for Tori Amos or Lorraine Garland to make a statement about all of this, but they're been surprisingly silent.

whiterosemedusa.bsky.social•40 days ago

I really hope Garland isn't in the know because she's a pretty amazing person. I was following her, via her music, long before I read a book by Gaiman.

whiterosemedusa.bsky.social•40 days ago

I was following her on here, but she has blocked me, so not sure if that's a steer clear of all things him, doesn't want to be triggered (understandable) or she was in the know. I'm really hoping it's the first option.

Actually Tori Amos addressed this and essentially made clear she wants nothing more to do with him in the first major interview she did since the allegations broke https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/dec/03/tori-amos-on-trauma-trump-and-neil-gaiman-a-heartbreaking-grief

Thanks!

Tori Amos talks about it a bit here:

I'm so glad she denounced him.

kleonardphd.bsky.social•43 days ago

Thanks; I'd missed that.

Reading just this is so disgusting!!!! I can't read the whole thing!!! OMG those women!!!!😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

foxintundra.bsky.social•42 days ago

Exactly! In the moment when she hired a nanny but also arranged a play date for their son at the same time… 😳 I said loud to myself: she f…g pimped her out to him!!!

nattinatt.bsky.social•43 days ago

She was also having sex with 20 year old fans when she was in her 30s. Both the age gap and the power imbalance are beyond creepy, and then just passing her on to her abusive husband? Unforgivable
