Almost a month to the day that Neil Gaiman was hit with rape, human trafficking and more allegations by a former nanny to his son, the Good Omens showrunner and Sandman creator says the claims are “a sham,” and shouldn’t even be addressed by U.S. courts.
Spitting out that the allegations, seeking $1 million, are simply “the culmination of her plan to maximize adverse publicity against Gaiman, a well-known author” for an “unjust financial settlement,” Gaiman wants the whole thing from Scarlett Pavlovich against him and estranged wife Amanda Palmer tossed out.
“In no uncertain terms, Pavlovich’s accusations are false,” a brief in support of motion to dismiss filed Tuesday in federal court in Wisconsin proclaims in language similar to blog post reactions he issued to such allegations last year. “The sexual scenarios she describes deliberately in graphic detail are invented. Any sexual conduct that occurred was in all ways consensual. Law enforcement authorities in New Zealand thoroughly investigated the same claims Plaintiff makes here, found no merit, and declined to file any charges against Gaiman. There was no credible evidence of wrongdoing.”
