Stereogum reports the singer Tori Amos, who already expressed disappointment at the reports of disgraced Neil Gaiman committing sexual assault, has excised credits for the would-be comics writer/novelist from her album Strange Little Girls:

Now for the Neil Gaiman stuff. Amos has had a long friendship and association with Gaiman, the once-celebrated author and comic book writer. He's her daughter's godfather. As recently as 2022, he contributed to Amos' Little Earthquakes graphic novel. The original CD edition of Strange Little Girls included images of Amos, made up as a different persona that she invented for each song on the album. Gaiman wrote short pieces to go along with all the photos, and they were all included on the album. [...]

Amos has posted the full credits and acknowledgments for the Strange Little Girls reissue on her website, and Neil Gaiman's name is not mentioned. This appears to be an intentional omission, especially since none of the other releases on her site include full credits. One can only assume Amos is signaling that Gaiman's contributions have been removed. We've got an email in to Amos' reps, and we'll update this story if we get confirmation. (UPDATE: A rep says, "Tori addressed the Neil Gaiman allegations last year. We are declining to comment further.")

Looks like another domino's fallen in Gaiman's career and reputation, as another entertainment specialist's distancing herself from him after the scandal. And it's for the best.
