Neil Gaiman has returned to social media for the first time in nearly two years (Picture: Andrew Toth/ WireImage)Neil Gaiman has claimed he is the victim of a ‘smear campaign’ after being accused of multiple sexual assault allegations. Meanwhile Gaiman also strenuously denied the claims, saying he’d ‘never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone’. ‘I’ve learned firsthand how effective a smear campaign can be, so to be clear: The allegations against me are completely and simply untrue. It has meant the world to me.’The accusations against Gaiman were first made in the Tortoise Media podcast Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman, in which five women shared their claims against him. But when Pavlovich launched her legal action, he called her a ‘fantasist’ who had ‘fabricated tales’ against Gaiman and Palmer.
