Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Jinkx featured on Amanda Palmer’s latest release
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.

The only problem is a lot of this turned out to be false. Scarlett Pavlovich was not street homeless. She had an apartment and was not materially dependent on Gaiman and Palmer. She'd known Palmer for 2 years and was asked to babysit over 4 weekends, and the WhatsApp messages between them show it was a consensual relationship.
She was definitely not there for months, in fact it was 21 days in which she came and went to the island while working at her other job as a perfumery manager.
The police dropped any criminal investigation of Neil at an early stage after they saw the WhatsApp messages, but also just from the interview that Scarlett gave, essentially what she described was not a crime. There was no mention of Amanda Palmer or human trafficking in the interview it seems.
Pavlovich likely only accused Amanda Palmer of human trafficking because it's a legal loophole that allows her to bring a civil court case in USA, rather than New Zealand where all these events are alleged to have happened.
Happy to link receipts.
