I wonder if the mods will reinstate the likely dozens of threads they stcanned.

No, I didn't think so either.

Vile man, very similar to Russell Brand IMO, in that I wouldn't want him anywhere near my kids. See the one of him at a kids book signing, dressed as Captain Underpants, with a fking honking great dildo shoved down his pants? Creepy, and wrong.

And to think it was the half of the duo running around dressed as a baby for many years who wasn't the dodgy one.

Oh, and art imitating life or whatever the phrase is

I saw a video of this recently on YT. I was nearly physically sick. Just wrong on every single level. A kids book signing event. FFS.

Wasn't he accused of bullying too? I know it's different but it aligns to my view of him, as being just an intolerable, horrible bully boy. funnily enough, the same box that Amanda Holden sometimes seems to get herself into.

A few years ago, maybe 5-10 actually, those talent shows used to have these characters on there just ripping people to shreds.

One of the worst tings they used to do was comment on their appearance or clothing, in a really mean way before the person even spoke. Things like "he looks like he works for EasyJet", "he looks like he works in a shop" etc..

There is a bigger issue in TV with all of this stuff, not just sexual assaults, rapes, etc, but these characters, like the Married at First Sight thing with the allegations of sexual offences (I think that's correct from my recollection), and even going back to JEremy Kyle, using these people as objects

I think it's a poor show that no MPs outed him in Parliament. Wouldn't take long for these injunctions became worthless.

Why what would it actually achieve?

Poor Matt Lucas, that's his re-broadcast royalties from Little Britain fked for life.

I bet Britain's Got Talent, with Cowell and Walliams there, as well as the other diva judges, was a horrifically toxic place.

Fwiw my wife worked in PR in London in the 90s and early noughties and has worked in the third sector eking money from HNWI (and UHNWI - get her!) since then. The celebrity world features heavily.Walliams (and Brand s) reputations were/are extremely well known. These were people women, in particular, were very well advised to steer very clear from. Feck knows how these people were continued to be courted for so long.

It may well come out that Walliams finds himself subject to criminal investigations, I suspect he will, but irrespective of potential law breaking it was/is an open secret the man isn't to be trusted.

I suspect the media, shameless hypocrites they may be, will go absolutely mental at this story now.

Having read the Guardian article, I think this is going be impossible to gain any sort of conviction over - as per Brand, being a 'celeb' isn't considered being in a 'position of power' so a lot of the grooming rules don't apply.

There's also one name that seems to be routinely associated with both Brand and Walliams.

Little Britain was already cancelled!

There has always been something weird and creepy about DW
