David Walliams #2

[HotesTilaire]

Thing is there’s a difference between Evans marrying Billie which seems to be the only time he’s been in a relationship with a teenager, and someone who starts hanging round with teenagers in their 20s, 30s and still doing it in their 40s it’s still 17, 18 year olds who he’s hung around for a few years, first messaged when they were 15 etc.

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.

Yes she was technically an adult, but we shouldn't be blaming her, it's Evans who was nearly double her age and who thought it was ok to go after someone so young.

Nobody is blaming her.
Their relationship was legal - so we can’t accuse Evans of grooming her. If he met her when she was 14 we could accuse him of that, but that wasn’t the case.

I know of a fair few relationships with huge age gaps - some of them seem off, but I can keep my nose out, if consensual and legal (and without any coercion / abuse).

I've always had my antennae up around David Baddiel. What is it with those comedians from that era? As well as the appalling blackface he often did he used to tell 'jokes' like this -

He's another one who was good friends with Brand.

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.

This is so shocking . It sounds like the type of thing that went down with Jimmy Saville in the 1970s! Not on a show that has only been on air during the last 20 years!

He’s so obsessed with sex and his fool too, I tried watching his series of Taskmaster because I liked the other comedians on it but he was always so crude and disgusting. I’m not surprised he was or is friends with other weirdos.

Nah. He‘s just guilty of “humour of that time” and wouldn’t do it now etc I mean Frank is the one who married a teenager in his 30s. He didn’t seem to hang around teenagers much after that, either.

Brand brought down! Walliams nearly brought down! Jonathan Ross and Noel Fielding are next on the brought down list!
Who's next after them?

Kiwi here following this from the southern hemisphere. . Don't know why but Harry Hill gives me the absolute ick. Get such bad vibes off him
