Tori Amos on trauma, Trump and Neil Gaiman: ‘It’s a heartbreaking grief’ https://t.co/RozIa26dPW
— Tori Amos News from Utzdented ♥ (@Undented) December 3, 2024
I strongly recommend reading the entire thing, as she touches on a lot more than just Neil Gaiman, but here are some quotes:
Amos was shocked to hear the allegations about Neil Gaiman. Neil is godfather to her 24-year-old daughter, who is currently attending law school in Washington, DC. She stated that, “if the allegations are true, that’s not the Neil that I knew, that’s not the friend that I knew, nor a friend that I ever want to know. So in some ways it’s a heartbreaking grief. I never saw that side of Neil. Neither did my crew. And my crew has seen a lot.”
Amos hasn’t listened to the podcasts, nor did she find out about Gaiman online or in the news. Instead, it was her manager who told her, after being informed himself by Tash and her cousin, Kelsey, who read about it in the paper.
She hasn’t spoken publicly yet because, “what do I say? I didn’t hire the nannies. I wasn’t there. I’ve never met these people. And I’ve never received a letter – of the thousands of letters I’ve gotten in 33 years – I’ve never received anything that was about Neil, except praise for his work and how much his work meant to people. That’s all I ever knew.”
The Guardian is no longer on Twitter, so I hope this is okay, mods!
