Another accuser, Kendra Stout, met Gaiman when she was 18 and alleges that they would also correspond through email and eventually through video calls. Years after their initial meeting, she says that Gaiman flew her out for a date in Orlando.
Back in his hotel room, Gaiman allegedly shared his sexual kinks with Stout. She recalled, “He talked at length about the dominant and submissive relationship he wanted out of me.” Stout said she was not interested in BDSM and Gaiman never asked what she liked in bed. She stated that there were never any “safe words” or “limits” and he asked her to call him “master” even though she didn’t like it.
According to the podcast “Master,” Gaiman’s position was “sexual degradation, bondage, domination, sadism, and masochism may not be to everyone’s taste, but between consenting adults, BDSM is lawful.”
The writer also declined Shapiro’s request to speak on the record but through an attorney, he responded to some claims.
