David Walliams #2

What strikes me about the 15-year-old’s account is that she asked him to stop and he did - BUT it seems clear that if she hadn’t, he’d have been quite happy to continue. So what’s the betting there are other young teens out there with similar experiences of him? It’s highly unlikely that she’d have been the only one under 16. Especially when, apparently, his taste for very young girls was sufficiently well known for his celeb mates to joke about it publicly.
And, er he shouldn’t have even started because she was under age

Seems really weird how Jonathan Ross is being mentioned in a lot of articles the last few days 👀

I really hope Matt Lucas hasn’t played any part in this.
Jonathan Ross owns tv production companies so he’s not just a presenter. Also half his family also work in TV and make TV shows. That’s why he is super connected in all things light entertainment. He’s going to keep coming up especially with British comedians and actors especially North London types.

It‘s also how he survived Sachsgate. He was on a multi-million pound contract to make his programme for the BBC, not just as his own personal salary. ITV was in ratings hell and so he offered to move his show there and they bit his hand off.

Lucy is incredible, it's the first time I've really heard a celebrity speak unequivocally about a case like this. Very brave of her.

Oh look Johnathon Ross being involved again...



He threw his head back in laughter as the compere, the TV chatshow host Jonathan Ross, opened the show with a joke pointedly referencing him: “The comedy awards is 15 years old – 15 years old! And like most 15-year-olds, it’s drunk, it’s unpredictable and it’s probably going home with David Walliams.”
Ross, responding through lawyers, said he did not write the joke himself.
Ross might not have been behind the joke, but the fact that it was written and performed at all proves insiders knew exactly what was going on. How many times at rehearsal did he say it, probably snigger. Turning it into a joke has shown DW'S behaviours were known, and by chosing to say nothing they all enabled and protected him for years. If there wasn't a true basis to it, they wouldn’t have made it.

I'd like to know who wrote it and whether he or she was trying to convey something very concerning, publicly.

Unfortunately, it was just the culture of the time - sleazy, predatory, abusive men were able to get away with it in plain sight if they were (very dated word here) ‘metrosexual’. Everyone thought they were being very clever and post modern.

Couple that with a tabloid culture that routinely objectified and dehumanised women, it really was the perfect storm for behaviour such as we’ve read about recently to flourish.

I imagine a number of other stars of that era will be sleeping a little unsoundly in their beds this evening.

I was a teen and early twenties in that era. Hated all of the ladette rit. I still think somebody could have been saying "read between the lines". Unlike Johnny Rotten who just out and out came out about Savile.

I only caught J Ross and R Gervais in the pic one of the girls showed of themselves at a celebrity party. The pic wasn't on screen long enough for me to clock who anyone else was. Even though there was a disclaimer that "there is no suggestion any of these people....", I'm sure Ross and Gervais won't be happy at the pic being shown. It's just a bad look for all concerned because of the mere association with Walliams the sleezeball.
I posted the pic earlier in the thread - it’s in the Guardian for all to see. DW with a very young girl out at a quiz in Piccadilly. Ricky Gervais, Jonathan Ross and their wives, amongst a few other middle aged people (or at least in their 30s).

Johnny Rotten is actually worthy of the title National Treasure imo. He cared for his wife Nora who had Alzheimers for many years.

He did the Masked Singer in America because it was one of the few television programmes she could still enjoy and he wanted to give her a lovely surprise ❤

World’s worst kept secret. I remember a thread on Mumsnet where several posters talked about meeting him at signings with their kids and he was all over their teenage daughters. I think the thread got taken down in the end, but it was a recurring pattern.
I’m late to this but I used to go to 100 club on oxford street years ago.
I remember my boyfriend and his mates telling me that David Walliams was always in there hitting on 17-18 year olds. We were all about 21 at the time and they all found it disgusting.
It was common knowledge then
