Yeah. His personal life is bizarre even beyond this stuff.
Back in the early 2000's pre-social media era he built his online reputation through constant blogging and presented himself as just a normal married father of three who also happened to be a wildly successful spooky British fantasy and comic book writer and that was arguably the biggest bit of fiction he ever peddled.
In fact, I think his first marriage turned out to be some kind of arranged scientology thing. Once that ended and he hooked up with Amanda Palmer he started being more openly weird and ditched the nice guy family man act.
