She claims that he also raped her anal anal.
And also: “Palmer knew from Gaiman’s sexual preferences and his need to humiliate his female sexual partners – with or without their consent.” Financial needs and fear of existence had made Pavlovich’s decision to stay with Gaiman and Palmer.
In a title story of the “New York” magazine, numerous women claim that Gaiman had repeatedly molested them and would have been attacking.

Wedding with Neil Gaiman
Amanda Palmer married the British author Neil Gaiman in 2010, whom she met in 2008 during an event in a bookstore in Edinburgh. In 2015 the couple received a son named Anthony. Gaiman and Palmer, according to their own statements, led an open relationship. “With one of our very first dates, we talked about monogamy and that none of us was a fan of it. Since then we have had an open marriage. Does that work? Hell, yes! The idea of only making around with a single other person until the end of time was always terrifying for me – and for Neil, I think too, ”she said in an interview with The Times.
