Neil Gaiman has returned to social media with a lengthy statement shared to his Instagram that denies the sexual misconduct allegations against him.

He says that they are “completely and simply untrue” and credits an online “journalist” writing under the name TechnoPathology for his “meticulous fact and evidence-based investigative writing” shared to his Substack.

“I’ve learned firsthand how effective a smear campaign can be, so to be clear: The allegations against me are completely and simply untrue. There are emails, text messages and video evidence that flatly contradict them,” the author wrote in his statement.

From there, Gaiman went on to criticize journalists and media figures for contributing to what he believes is an “echo chamber” and arguing that they have dismissed “actual evidence.”

“These allegations, especially the really salacious ones, have been spread and amplified by people who seemed a lot more interested in outrage and getting clicks on headlines rather than whether things had actually happened or not. (They didn’t.)” he wrote.

To date, at least nine women have accused Gaiman of sexual abuse, including his and his wife Amanda Palmer‘s former nanny Scarlett Pavlovich.

At the end of his statement, the American Gods author wrote that he was taking time to write and is almost done with a new novel.
