Allred's firm negotiated a $300,000 settlement for Caroline from Gaiman. Caroline tried to move on with her life. She stuck to the terms of her NDA and didn't discuss the case. But last summer, she listened to a podcast that changed all that. It was called Master, The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman. In it, other women made accusations against Gaiman. Gaiman has denied those allegations.

Caroline did break her NDA. Eventually, she hired a different lawyer to send a letter to Allred's firm alleging malpractice.

Allred's firm made clear they had recently obtained what they called sexually provocative texts, photos, and videos from Gaiman's lawyer.
