There needs to be a police report or investigation, I’m not sure either of these are happening.
That was me. Seems amazing now, or does it, djs weren't exactly shy about liking schoolgirls. My mum's family were involved in the film industry going back to the 1940s, on the production side, nobody but nobody in the family would allow any child within a million miles of it. I did a couple of years in hollyweird, again production side, I've never forgotten being at private dinner parties with agents and producers, the way they talked about stars and celebrities was like you'd speak about the village idiot, or your prize Chihuahua that you'd hope would get a prize for best in show. Someone brought up someone like Angelina Jolie, can't exactly remember, but the eye rolling and derision at her attempts to be a humanitarian. Grim af.
Wow. Quick Google told me who it was
It was mentioned somewhere yesterday that Walliams was being investigated by police over the incident with the 15 year old girl.
"There is no HR in TV".seriously? Is this true? I’m genuinely shocked , no wonder there’s so many predators attractedTbf I watched the full 20 minute interview and it's clear Lucy's main reason for doing the interview is to highlight how ultimately unregulated the TV industry is for inappropriate behaviour like this, when it's not a police matter. As she said a couple of times: "There is no HR in TV".
And I think that's a very valid point. You're relying on individual production companies, studios, or promoters/agencies but it usually isn't the same as a traditional company. Most of the time as a runner or intern, you're dealing with production companies ran by higher-ups who have known and worked together for years - while you're the unimportant new kid who's got very little job security.
I did study and work in media for a spell before switching careers, mainly because it is SO hard to get on the career ladder (without industry connections, money and/or incredible looks) and the management at the production company job I did get made me miserable.
The intern was getting weekly mentorship meetings over coffee with our production boss, who kept giving them more responsibilities, their own projects, etc - meanwhile I'd get one monthly 'catch up' call scheduled which our head of production (effectively my line manager) cancelled 3+ months in a row because other people or projects took priority. Guess which one of us got their contract extended?
It is so demoralising to be in a situation where you literally can't complain about even any minor grievances or unfair treatment like that, because who are you going to tell if the higher ups are part of the problem?
Nobody wants to kill their golden goose, and runners/production assistants/interns are a dime a dozen.
Pretty much every workplace I’ve ever been in is the same story, even in non showbiz. What a society we are
The show is rated a 15 in the UK. I'd guess the tour had a similar guideline.
He was quite happy to read it out though.
I’d hope guideline’s have changed since then? I wouldn’t class the Dreamboys as being suitable for children , that’s the type of content they’d be putting on stage.
I agree with you. Many people oppose it, saying things like I lost my virginity at 14 and it didn’t do me any harm, you can’t stop teenagers from having sex, in fact you should allow your kids to have sex under your roof because they’ll do it anyway, and so on.
If true, this is beyond disappointing. So far, I haven't read anything concrete but there's a lot of rumours (I went down a Reddit rabbit hole). I tend to think there's no smoke without fire when it comes to allegations like these but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
I am ashamed.Oi, Oi, Oi! Let's leave my beloved Kryten out of this. Once and for all! I mean it!..........
Nah I don't think so. That account seems fixated on Israel and anti Jewish from the quick look I had.
