Author Neil Gaiman is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct and assault, months after similar accusations were made against him.

According to a Vulture magazine article titled "There Is No Safe Word," eight women have accused Gaiman of assault, coercion, or abuse. Among them is a former nanny for Gaiman and his second wife, Amanda Palmer.

The nanny alleged that Gaiman sexually assaulted her in February 2022 in a backyard bathtub at his New Zealand home.

She also claimed he assaulted her under blankets in a hotel room while his son was in the room. "He said, 'Call me 'master,' and I'll come.' He said, 'Be a good girl. You're a good little girl,'" the New York magazine quoted her as saying.

The report stated that most of the women Gaiman allegedly abused were in their 20s, with the youngest being 18. Gaiman was in his 40s or older during these incidents.

In July 2024, five women had previously made similar accusations against Gaiman in a six-part podcast series titled Master by Tortoise Media.

Author JK Rowling also commented on the allegations, comparing the situation to the sexual assault cases against Harvey Weinstein.

She criticised the literary community's silence, stating on X, "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."

Netflix's 'Gone Girls' uncovers shocking new details in the Long Island serial killer case​

Netflix is diving back into one of America’s most chilling unsolved mysteries, the Long Island Serial Killer case. The upcoming three-part documentary series, premiering on March 31, 2025, revisits the decades-long hunt for a murderer who preyed on women and evaded justice for years.

The case first came to light in 2010 when authorities searching for a missing woman, Shannan Gilbert, stumbled upon four bodies along Long Island’s Gilgo Beach. Over the next few months, more remains were discovered, bringing the total number of victims linked to the case to at least eleven. Many of the victims were sex workers from the New York City area, sparking fears that a predator was specifically targeting them.

For over a decade, the investigation went cold. Despite the gruesome discoveries, law enforcement struggled to identify the killer. The breakthrough came in 2023 when authorities arrested 59-year-old architect Rex Andrew Heuermann. By 2024, he had been charged with multiple counts of murder, though he pleaded not guilty. His arrest marked a turning point in the case, offering some closure to families who had waited years for answers.

The Netflix series, directed by Liz Garbus known for the 2020 film Lost Girls, which dramatised the case takes an in-depth look at the investigation, the social stigma surrounding the victims, and how law enforcement handled the case. Through interviews with journalists, detectives, and people connected to both the victims and the accused, the documentary pieces together the long, frustrating search for justice.

Beyond just retelling the facts, the series highlights the systemic issues at play and how certain victims don’t receive the same urgency or attention, and how that impacts justice. It also raises tough questions about policing, media bias, and society’s treatment of marginalised women.

With new evidence and first-hand accounts, Netflix’s latest deep dive into true crime aims to shed fresh light on a case that haunted Long Island for years. Whether it will bring any new revelations remains to be seen, but for many, the hope is that revisiting the past will finally bring some long-overdue justice.

Millie Bobby Brown claps back at media over body scrutiny and unrealistic beauty standards

Millie Bobby Brown, the Stranger Things star, has had enough of the media’s relentless focus on her appearance. In a powerful Instagram post, she called out the toxic culture of body-shaming and unrealistic expectations placed on young women in the public eye. Her message was clear: growing up shouldn’t come with a side of public scrutiny and cruelty.

Starting her career at just 10 years old, Millie has spent over a decade in the spotlight. But instead of celebrating her growth, she says the media has always been fixated on her changing looks, criticising her for not staying the same as she was in Stranger Things Season 1. “People act like I’m supposed to stay frozen in time,” she said. “But I’m not a character, I’m a person, and I’m growing up.”


She didn’t hold back, pointing to specific headlines like “Why Are Gen Zers Like Millie Bobby Brown Ageing So Badly?” and “What Has Millie Bobby Brown Done to Her Face?” as examples of the bullying she’s endured. “This isn’t journalism,” she said. “It’s disturbing. Writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices. It’s not okay.”

What stung even more, she noted, was seeing women contribute to this kind of coverage. “We talk about supporting young women, but when it comes down to it, it’s easier to tear them down for clicks,” she said. Millie made it clear she won’t apologise for growing up or changing. “I refuse to shrink myself to fit someone else’s unrealistic expectations,” she added.

Her post struck a chord with fans and fellow celebrities alike, who flooded the comments with messages of support. Sarah Jessica Parker and Mckenna Grace were among those who praised her for speaking out. Millie’s message wasn’t just about her own experience rather it was a call to action for society to do better. “Let’s stop tearing young women apart for simply existing,” she urged.

Millie’s bold stance points out a larger issue: the pressure young women face to conform to impossible standards, especially in industries like Hollywood. By speaking up, she’s not just defending herself, but she’s standing up for every girl who’s ever felt judged for simply growing up. And that’s a message worth listening to.

This film gave me the chance to bring those emotions to life on screen.”

Set against the stunning backdrop of Greece, The Eye follows Diana, played by Haasan, as she travels to a remote island to scatter her late husband Felix’s ashes.
