Neil Gaiman, *63yo, insists that his sexual relationship with his live-in nanny,*23, which started on her first night at his home, was consensual. It’s not the 80’s sir. The power imbalance & her dependency on you for employment & housing, make this at a minimum coercive & far from consensual.

Hard to believe the guy who married Amanda Palmer would turn out to be a piece of shit.

A singer of no great renown who once had an Australian dance group perform with her and revised to pay them so they were stuck begging at shows with a boy for our spare change…

With a BOOT they begged for us to fill BOOTS work spare change. No boys were intrinsically harmed with this exchange

What? Didn't pay her musicians?? Oh, fuck her then.

Dancers, not musicians. But her side performers, and she shat on them? Unforgivable.

I love that I’ve spawned this little locus of Amanda Palmer is garbage discourse. Made my day waking up to it ☺️

The more you learn the grosser you will find her. Better to remain in the glow of unknowing

A musician with a questionable reputation She argued that it’s cool to just ask people to do things for you for free… which isn’t inherently bad if you’re struggling at the start of your career, but this was after she was well established and married to Gaiman

And had just had a huge kickstarter, iirc

tw: suicide She also faked her own suicide, recorded her bf's reaction to it, and used that recording in later projects. She played at being a conjoined twin for another of her projects She's been known to use the N word. Lots of other just really bizarre shit. (I did a deep dive a few years ago.)
