Hours after four more women accused Neil Gaiman of sexual misconduct, J.K. Rowling compared him Harvey Weinstein.
The “Harry Potter” writer took to her social media accounts shortly after the New York Magazine story detailed stories of four more women explaining encounters with Gaiman that included murky consent and issues with control. In her social media post, Rowling compared Gaiman to Weinstein – who is in prison for rape after being at the center of the #MeToo movement.
“The literary crowd that had a hell of a lot to say about Harvey Weinstein before he was convicted has been strangely muted in its response to multiple accusations against Neil Gaiman from young women who’d never met, yet — as with Weinstein — tell remarkably similar stories,” Rowling wrote.
