Excerpt:
When New York magazine features writer Lila Shapiro contacted us last summer, she said she was looking into disturbing allegations about Neil Gaiman that had first been revealed in a podcast we contributed to.
Tortoise Media had released its podcast last July after talking to two women who said they had been in consensual relationships with author Gaiman, but who each alleged that they experienced what they consider sexual assault to have occurred in those relationships. Gaiman denied that the two relationships were anything but consensual. After the initial episodes of the podcast were released, additional women came forward with similar stories.
Tortoise Media reporters Paul Caruana Galizia and Rachel Johnson talked to us for what we knew about Gaiman being raised in Scientology, and that his family had been perhaps the most well known Scientology family in the UK in the church’s history there.
We told them, for example, that when Parliament was talking about banning Scientology in the late 1960s, Gaiman’s late father, David Gaiman, used his then seven-year-old son as a publicity stunt to try and sway public opinion. This is something we’ve been pointing out about the Gaimans for quite a few years. We cautioned the journalists, and Shapiro, that although Neil was brought up a Scientologist, we didn’t think it necessarily explained why he might have turned out to be such a creep.
