Editing Danny Elfman (section)

===Sexual harassment allegations===
Composer [[Nomi Abadi]] has alleged that Elfman had been involved in multiple instances of sexual harassment and misconduct with her that took place from 2015 to 2016. Elfman has denied these claims. The allegations reportedly resulted in Elfman and Abadi agreeing to a non-public settlement and nondisclosure agreement, wherein Elfman would have paid Abadi a total of $830,000 over time. In 2024, Abadi alleged that Elfman had missed payments and had defamed her in statements he made to ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine in 2023 regarding this matter, suing Elfman for the full settlement of $830,000.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/films/news/danny-elfman-defamation-nomi-abadi-sexual-harassment-b2577846.html |last=Yamin |first=Shahana |title=Danny Elfman sued for defamation after denying sexual harassment allegations |newspaper=[[The Independent]] |date=July 11, 2024 |access-date=February 12, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-07-20/danny-elfman-sued-failing-to-pay-830-000-alleged-sexual-misconduct-settlement |last=St. Martin |first=Emily |title=Suit against Danny Elfman raises previous sexual misconduct allegations, quiet settlement |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=July 20, 2023 |access-date=February 12, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Siegel |first=Tatiana |date=January 6, 2025 |title=Danny Elfman Loses Bid to Dismiss Defamation Lawsuit Over Statements Made About a Secret Sexual Harassment Settlement |url=https://variety.com/2025/film/news/danny-elfman-loses-bid-to-dismiss-defamation-lawsuit-over-secret-sexual-harassment-settlement-1236267291/ |access-date=February 12, 2025 |magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref> 

Abadi's ex-boyfriend from the time contacted ''Rolling Stone'' to express his concern, noting the relationship between her and Elfman was never sexual and also citing the false allegations she had levelled against him after their breakup, resulting in a judge ruling in his favor. The validity of Abadi's allegations was called into question when text messages and emails revealed the nature of their relationship was non-sexual and that Abadi had become enraged when her advances had been rejected. After the initial settlement, Abadi's attorneys emailed Elfman's attorneys informing them that she wanted to meet with him for "closure", though Elfman declined.<ref name="AirMail News Article">{{cite magazine |last=Bernstein |first=Jacob |date=March 29, 2025 |title=The Alien and the Fawn |magazine=[[Air Mail (magazine)|Air Mail]] |url=https://airmail.news/issues/2025-3-29/the-alien-and-the-fawn}}</ref>
