Came STRAIGHT here on my lunch break.

Given this was all over social media for days before it was actually officially revealed to be him, like others, I don't understand how he was allowed to gag the media. I guess money really does talk.

Oh and yet again, here we have another vile excuse of a man using his celebrity status and position of power to satisfy his own depravity. Im genuinely sick to my stomach hearing about these men and I have absolutely no doubt there are plenty more within the industry with equally disturbing skeletons in their closets

It feels like theres no escaping these stories at the moment. Between everything surrounding RB in the press and now hearing the harrowing accounts of DW's alleged victims, its honestly triggering as duck. As someone who was groomed at just 17, these stories hit far too close to home. The abuse of power, the manipulation and the sheer arrogance of the men who believe their status makes them untouchable is sickening. And what makes me angriest is knowing just how long some people carry the consequences of what was done to them, while the men responsible get to carry on with their lives

Lets see how many idiots defend this guy. Seeing the support for Brand has me absolutely disgusted

both these men are abhorrent, using their positions of power like this.

He will be, he’s connected to everyone in comedy and light entertainment because of work behind the scenes as well as presenting.
Being so central to the industry for so long the very first thing he needs to be challenged on is how he didn’t notice this behaviour from many men and why he keep supporting these men when the public where already taking about concerning behaviour.
He cannot honestly say he didn’t notice a thing ?

The law around age of consent needs to be looked into pronto. There's a massive difference between two 16 year olds having sex together and a 16 year old with a fully grown adult. This loop hole is exploited so many times, the predators wait until they're JUST old enough and nothing is wrong with that apparently even though they're double their age.

This photo is chilling. From the Guardian article, this young girl was taken to a quiz night. Look at all the adults in the room, and how YOUNG that poor girl is.
What did the other adults make of this?! Craziness, he really was in plain sight.

It’s crazy how quickly they jump to defend these men. If they had 14, 15, 16 year old daughters or nieces they wouldn’t approve of a 44 year old man sniffing around them wanting to be ‘friends’.

I feel so sorry for his son who is old enough to be aware of all of this, and Lara too, trying to support her child while having cancer treatment.

I don't think there will be quite as many. For some reason Brand seemed to appeal to a lot of men and women in a way that I don't think David does.

The BBC needs investigating for the sheer amount of sick people they’ve housed over the years. Seriously, how is somewhere that’s paid for by the British public home to so many? And for them to get away with it for so long!
Because they're all at it creepy people

He was well known for being a perv for years. My good friend had the misfortune to be heavily harassed by him in the early noughts. She was in media PR and very in love with her uni boyfriend. DW would constantly call her at the office and corner her at events. Nasty man. Another friend of a friend dated him. Nothing untoward there but friend said he was an insufferable attention seeker and dinner parties/pub visits etc, he always had to be the centre of attention. This was before he became super famous before LB and BGT.

My child was a huge fan of his books and films when younger, recently had a big clear out and I’m so glad that we threw his books away.
I’m so sick to death of hearing about all these connected and powerful people barely hiding in plain sight, how many people are culpable by association? They should be ashamed of themselves too

I loved little Britain when it first aired but even then, a few of his characters made me feel uneasy. Emily "I'm a lady" for one.

Because Walliams hasn’t jumped onto multiple conspiracy theories and pretended to find god?

I hold my hand up to having been a fan of both of them back in their respective haydays, probably around the same time, I loved their irreverent rebellious comedy, now I feel embarrassed for that, especially little Britain.
tbh I never really saw or heard rb’s rapey ‘jokes’ until it all started coming out properly apart from the horrible phone cal with Jonathan Ross, There’s only so far you can go with the ‘different times’ excuse 😭

Thank god it’s been years in the making for this to come out.

Im glad some of the sources I provided from my time at BGT were used to get a clearer picture of the POS he was, but I would like to say it’s NOT true that no one complained about him at Fremantle. I raised the fact that he was inviting unchaperoned teenagers into his dressing room at BGT with more senior staff at the time as I couldn’t believe that was something that was allowed to happen but that, as well as his pursuit of a young female runner, were never things that would be taken seriously there. Very much ‘just David being David’ attitude at the time.
