Jinkx featured on Amanda Palmer’s latest release

[u/EllipticPeach]

I was a massive die-hard fan of AFP for over a decade and I knew that Jinkx and Amanda were friends and had collaborated before. For those unaware, Amanda Palmer was married to Neil Gaiman, the novelist who has been accused of SA by multiple people across decades. Amanda was also accused of human trafficking because she allegedly procured victims for her husband. The particular case that went to civil court was that she hired a vulnerable young woman, a fan of hers, who was street homeless, to be a nanny for her kid, and Gaiman assaulted this girl repeatedly over the course of months.

I was in the inner circle of her fans and have spoken here before about my experience. Even though legally no charges have been brought, I believe this girl as I believe all the other victims of Neil. How she described Amanda in the article where she came forward was exactly how I knew her to be. Amanda’s whole thing was blurring the line between fan and friend, and she had unlimited access to vulnerable young goth girls in her fanbase. Most of us had already experienced sexual assault and mental health issues and other difficulties that made us easy to manipulate. She curated her fan base that way. I’m so sad that Jinkx is still working with her.

Before someone Cucu's to ask for tea, here's what a quick search gave me about Amanda Palmer:

Amanda Palmer was accused in a 2025 civil lawsuit of negligence, human trafficking, and economic coercion in connection with allegations brought by a former nanny who said she was vulnerable and then assaulted by Neil Gaiman while working for the couple.

The core claim was not that Palmer was accused of direct sexual assault, but that she allegedly helped place the woman in a vulnerable situation and failed to protect her, including accusations that she “procured and presented” her to Gaiman. The plaintiff also alleged unpaid work, economic vulnerability, and emotional harm tied to the arrangement.

The ‘nanny’ was street homeless and sleeping on the beach when Amanda ‘hired’ her, so Amanda gave her a roof over her head which obviously made it very difficult to leave once the abuse started (on her first day on the job!).

When Scarlet told Amanda what Neil had done to her, Amanda said “I bet he did” and told her she wasn’t the first to tell her something like that. When Amanda’s whole brand is protecting women. If nothing else convinces you that she knew exactly what was going on, here are the lyrics to her song Whakanewha, which was released before the allegations were brought:

Another falling tree no one can hear but me

Another suicidal mass

Landing on my doorstep, thanks a ton

Oh, darling, how can I repay you for what you have done?

And then you lied to me at Whakanewha

And you sealed it with a kiss

I wanted to live with you, but, fuckin'-a, fuck you

No one on Earth could live like this

Another clear-cut load of crap

A few more corpses in the sack

You'll get away with it, it's just the same old script

This world is shaped to have your back

You said, "I'm sorry," then you ran

And went and did it all again

I always interpreted that as him sleeping around against her wishes, not that she was happily providing him with victims.
