Neil Gaiman’s ex-partner Amanda Palmer has publicly acknowledged the allegations of sexual misconduct made against the author for the first time.

Posting on her Instagram account, the American singer wrote: “As there are ongoing custody and divorce proceedings, I am not able to offer public comment. Please understand that I am first and foremost a parent. I ask for privacy at this time.” Palmer and Gaiman, who married in 2011, and have one child together, are currently in the process of getting divorced.
