He has also been removed from his UK agent Casarotto Ramsay & Associates' client list.
thaaat's gotta hurt
I suppose the degree of "hurt" depends on whether that means they've dropped him as a client entirely or simply removed his name from the client listing on their website. The reporting on it says that his name has been removed from their website, but I haven't seen anything indicating that they've actually dropped him as a client.
Neil Gaiman has been removed from UK agent Casarotto Ramsay & Associates’ client list after the Good Omens writer has faced a string of sexual misconduct allegations over the past six months.

Gaiman’s profile was quietly scrubbed from Casarotto Ramsay & Associates’ website, meaning he no longer appears on pages listing its film, TV, and theatre clients.

Internet archives show Gaiman’s profile, which included trailers for his screen work, was live on the agency’s website as recently as last October, months after the initial allegations were published. The author denies wrongdoing.

I think Gaiman's career is effectively over.

As I've seen someone else put, he is past trying to save his reputation and now just hoping to keep his mansions.

He is apparently still a professor at Bard College, although he was already not teaching this year due to other commitments. It will be interesting to see what they do with him.

UPDATE: Well, his faculty member page at Bard now returns a 404: Page Not Found.

There are now three more lawsuits (from one woman), so I'm guessing all this other stuff (as if the original story wasn't horrific enough) happened based off that and advanced notice this was coming.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

When things first broke I was hoping that he was going to be able to issue a sincere apology and atone to his victims, but it's gone beyond that with the latest revelations. I've got a book of his on my shelf that I haven't read yet that I bought before this all came to light, and I don't even want to read it at this point.

Good news, everyone! Apparently Neil Gaiman is just fine now, judging by the fact that Amazon (by way of Kindle) just reached out to ask me to buy one of his books.

Or possibly Amazon is an amoral sociopathic entity that is fine with further enriching rapists. Could go either way, I suppose. :think:

That feels like a distinction without a difference. :lol:

Russell Brand charged with rape and sexual assault
Russell Brand has been charged with rape, indecent assault and sexual assault between 1999 and 2005.

The charges relate to four separate women.
...
In a short statement, the Metropolitan Police said it had written to Brand to inform him that he was being charged with one allegation of rape, one allegation of indecent assault, one of oral rape and two further counts of sexual assault.

The force said it is alleged that:

In 1999 a woman was raped in the Bournemouth area.
In 2001 a woman was indecently assaulted in the Westminster area of London.
In 2004 a woman was orally raped and sexually assaulted in the Westminster area of London.
Between 2004 and 2005, a woman was sexually assaulted in the Westminster area of London.
It's almost as if people are the problem.
