David Walliams #2

Ah i only read the fielding ones and Attenborough which I thought noooooo

Nah I don't think so. That account seems fixated on Israel and anti Jewish from the quick look I had.

Another one pretending he was gay to lull women into a false sense of security, I expect.

are we still talking about tinky winky?

Apologies if I have missed the information but other than Jonathan Ross being mates with these people and the comment made in his speech, has he actually done anything else that we know of that has been questionable?

I find it hard to believe that interns, runners, researchers etc on TV shows, on radio etc.. all know about things / heard rumours but Jonathan Ross knew absolutely nothing of their behaviour

Also just how close was he to Walliams and Brand? Was it a work friendship or did it extend further?

The people whose misconduct has been exposed in the last 3 years

- Schofield
- Huw Edwards
- Gregg Wallace
- Gino D’Campo
- Russell Brand
- Walliams
- Graziano Di Prima
- Giovanni Pernice
- Scott Mills
- Jermaine Jenas

All within 3 years. Perhaps adding Jermaine into that last is a tad unfair- as far as I know, and for want of a better term, “all” he did was sext other women behind his wife’s back, and he did at least have the decency to reflect and apologise rather than go on about how he’d been victimised, but still… a lot of misconduct

You can add to that Coronation St & Dr Who character actor Eric Potts. Hes being sentanced tomorrow for child porn photos.

Noel Clarke starts trial at Southwark very soon.

Jenas did more than sext women behind his wife's back. He was sending unsolicited fool pics to women.

So what happens now? Does he go into exile like Phillip Schofield and Scott Mills or is a trial brought against him?

I think a file goes to the CPS and they decide if there’s enough evidence for a trial

I don’t want it to sound like I’m crusading for the BBC but the “BBC is full of n*nces” stuff in this context is incredibly frustrating to me in how it inadvertently negates how widespread an industry problem the protection of predatory men is by shoving the responsibility onto one organisation. BGT was Walliams’s biggest gig for years and that was ITV, same with Harper Collins publishing his books for so long. Focusing on the BBC (imo) loses sight that predators exist in every large company in every industry but particularly across the entertainment industry where there’s little safeguards due to the nature of moving job to job. It’s a culture perpetuated across companies and I think making it all about the BBC in this instance is dismissive of how that culture is able to survive

While I take your point that it’s rampant across the entertainment industry, the BBC positions itself as the nation‘s trusted broadcaster. We pay for it whether we want to or not.

And while I think the trust from the general public is waning, it’s embedded in many of the older generation who think anyone employed by the BBC is an all round good egg. It provides a veil of legitimacy that doesn’t apply to broadcasters.

And it’s not as rife in other industries because ‘the talent’ isn’t deified to the same extent.

Yeah I think that Ross is an enabler rather than a creep himself. Of course I’m prepared to be proven wrong about that

Sir Patrick was a well known campaigner against violence against women and girls so maybe he also heard something?

True king. Loved his dogs too

 

[monga]

I thought he had scarpered off into the African wilderness?
