Neil Gaiman denied sexual assault allegations on his blog Tuesday after a New York Magazine cover story accused the author of misconduct with four additional women.
“I’m far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever,” Gaiman wrote in a blog post Tuesday. “As I read through this latest collection of accounts, there are moments I half-recognize and moments I don’t, descriptions of things that happened sitting beside things that emphatically did not happen.”
In the entry titled “Breaking the Silence,” Gaiman said he went back to re-read messages exchanged with the women who accused the author of sexual misconduct and lack of consent, and said he stands behind the messages’ intent.
