The media’s wall of silence protecting Neil Gaiman has finally collapsed thanks to Amazon and Disney putting their productions on hold in response to the accusations of sexual assault made by seven different women against the erstwhile Scientologist auditor.
Amazon drama Good Omens halted over ‘disturbing’ sexual misconduct allegations into show’s co-creator Neil Gaiman
The production of Amazon drama Good Omens has reportedly been suspended in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations made against the show’s co-creator Neil Gaiman.The author – who co-wrote the 1990 novel of the same name – has denied the allegations made against him by five women, branding the accusations as ‘disturbing’.
It comes after Disney also hit pause on its feature adaptation of Gaiman’s 2008 ‘The Graveyard Book’ after the allegations surfaced.
According to showbusiness website Deadline, the 63-year-old has since made an offer to Amazon to step back so that pre-production for the third and final season of Good Omens can continue.
The offer is not an admission of wrongdoing by Gaiman.
Although not completely. The Guardian, which produces puff pieces about and even by Neil Gaiman more often than it publishes hit pieces on me, still isn’t saying anything negative about its pet fantasy writer.
