It's nothing to do with his narcissistic tendencies (which I don't dispute) but more likely to do with Equity rules; if someone else had already registered the name 'David Williams', then he'd have to choose a different stage name.Bloke's a bleep just for making his stage name Walliams instead of his birth name Williams! That's narcissist enough, making his name quite so unique, for me to dislike him

This morherfucker’s in court next week:
Noel Clarke pleads not guilty to sexual offence charges
The former Doctor Who and Kidulthood star appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

And Westwood’s date is set for January I believe.
I read it was due to Equity that he changed it
Ok fair enough but these statement from him
screams abuser…
“During an interview on The Rubin Report, Fry criticised what he viewed as growing social censorship and content warnings, telling sexual abuse and grape survivors who exhibited self-pity to "grow up," stating that self-pity receives no sympathy.”
Jonathan Ross quote breaking
Didn't know? balls! Why the old joke about Walliam's taking home drunk 15 year old girls then Wossy?
Theres more...

So are you insinuating she's only speaking out for financial/personal gain and that you don't believe her account of what she's experienced in the industry? Or is your point that she should have spoken out at the time?
Either way, your post echoes the worst traits of the grape apologists supporting Brand, sad to say.
What are the allegations against Ross, Fry And Fielding
In the Power & Silence Documentary there was reference to how significant Walliams was for HarperCollins.
He was a golden goose.
David Walliams's books accounted for 44% of HarperCollins's children's book sales in the UK in 2018.

Big age gap - but she was an adult.
She was 14 when they met and 18 when they got married. He was 35 at the time.
She can say all she wants about how it was her who pursued him, but he was still in a position of power and his age makes it even worse.
This isn't aimed at anyone, but please avoid acronyms as it makes posts unreadable for many people.
Talking about JC, JR, NF is difficult to read.
But instead if you say just the surnames Carr, Ross, Fielding etc it's as quick to type and makes everything much clearer.
Thank you

True and they are mates to this day.
One of the last times I saw Walliams on tv was on This Morning, this year, some months back, flogging his book.
They got past the interview, just. However at the end of the show he had to infiltrate the clothing segment, where he came on in some woman's outfit. What made the producers let him do that is known only to them, but they obviously thought it was funny. It really was not funny, it just went to reaffirm that he was an odd character with dubious comedy values.
Wallliams always had to take it to the next level of weird, tv producers just pandered and indulged him with his odd behaviour, all in the name of being a comic while humiliating those he worked with.

Now there is a guy out there called David Williams desperately trying to chance his name.
I find the age gap ick - but they started dating when she was 18 and they married within six months, when she was still 18. Personally, I don’t like it - but she was an adult, so we can’t accuse him of grooming.She was 14 when they met and 18 when they got married. He was 35 at the time.
She can say all she wants about how it was her who pursued him, but he was still in a position of power and his age makes it even worse.
I don’t think they met when she was 14? That’s not her version of events anyway.
He really is ‘oh my boys, my boys’ used to give me the shivers , I guess it was meant toOMG he IS like Monty
They probably did meet when she was 14. Billie Piper met most radio DJs and presenters when she was that age promoting her music.
I don't think they really had a proper chat until she was 18 and they remain friends.
I recall this being mentioned on another thread. Billie Piper has stated that they met she was 17, they started dating when she was 18 and they married within six months. She didn’t meet him at 14.
I do find the age gap inappropriate, but then I find lots of things to be inappropriate when I don’t like them. As much as I find the age gap off, she was an adult and their relationship was legal and consensual.
