I read something about that at the time. He is disgusting. He was lucky Linda Martin didn't give him a clip around the ear, for that comment.

Could not agree more. Too many people are desperate to cover their own arses with little regard for the victims. Because those in the know are aware that what happened is wrong yet chose the quiet life.What bothers me is that they all still do sweep it under the carpet
Until Society truly says enough is enough then the BBC and the David Walliams of the world will be empowered to behave this way
patrick keilty - another dickheadA recent appearance on Irish telly - strange and inappropriate behaviour that upset the other guests. It’s a live broadcast unfortunately for the show. https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/artsandculture/arid-41726337.html
In the case of most 'celeb partnerships' I'm sure they started off on friendly terms, but the effects of fame, big egos, and the sheer amount of time spent together would put strain on anyone's friendship. Got to be honest, I've never liked Dawn French. I get bad vibes from her in interviews. Loved The Vicar of Dibley, but a large part of its success was the really strong supporting cast. Anyway, tangent...It's interesting, I've listened to French and Saunders podcast and it made me question how close they actually are. There'a bit where Dawn says, "I've been in your house" and refers to some design feature Jen has. That doesn't seem like something you'd say to a close friend? They talk about other things you'd assume they already knew about each other.
There are interviews with Mitchell and Webb where you can tell they're very distant from each other.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant openly admit they were never real friends.
I think celebrity friendships are often just a case of "There's always good publicity when I appear in public with that person."
Wtf! No wonder they got a divorce."Further, he admits “there have been times” when he questioned his own drinking. There was Palm Springs when he awoke after a night of apple martinis and saw Drayton had the imprint of a flip-flop on his forehead. Carr had gone wild, he learned, attacked Drayton and ransacked their hotel room."
And also 'hilariously' shoves coriander into the mouth of someone who was allergic to it:
"There are six of us in this photo studio, including Carr’s manager, makeup, wardrobe and a publicist from ITV. He picks up the coriander and stuffs it into the mouth of the woman who said she was allergic. “See!” he declares, triumphant. “You’re not really allergic. If you were, you’d be dead by now.” He cackles. Everyone else cackles. It’s like the canned laughter of witches."
If it's shown I bet viewing figures will be mega.Agree, I wonder if it'll all go quiet for a bit....
He can't really do a big "coming out" show like Schofe did, hoping to get people on side and hoping the stories will go away.
BBC are saying they won't touch him, the publishers have dropped him. What choices does that leave?Will he skulk away, live happily on the money he's earned.......I'm guessing his arrogance won't allow that, even though that's probably his best option at this point.
Is he just going to come out with the "unwise but not illegal" statements? He'll always have people defending him.
Is he going to be seen going for a walk with his elderly mother to gain sympathy....
DW may never be charged with anything, just like PS, as the world doesn't understand the full extent/impact of grooming/coercion/manipulation and those things are so hard to prove.
BBC and others are probably waiting for viewing figures of Would I Lie To You before they decide next steps..... if it has good viewer ratings, that's all that matters to them, and they and other media outlets will have him back at some point, and continue showing his programmes but probably with some firm rules on behaviour...... who knows......
Who were enabled because the crew around them were complicit and silentThe problem is he’s been praised for years for this sort of bad behaviour and lame ”jokes” and to be honest he doesn’t really have anything else to him so he can’t change.
The 00s created a lot of monsters
Absolutely not!patrick keilty - another dickhead
Same as John Barrowman, and many others.The problem is he’s been praised for years for this sort of bad behaviour and lame ”jokes” and to be honest he doesn’t really have anything else to him so he can’t change.

His wife did not go to his mother’s funeral, did you know?patrick keilty - another dickhead
I never heard presenters called "The Talent" until the Schofe events........ it's so pompous, egotistical, arrogant........ so I guess it sums them up wellThe Talent must always be accommodated.
I always detested Barrowman, long before I knew anything about him. The only programme I watched that he used to be on was Dancing on Ice and he made my skin crawl.Same as John Barrowman, and many others.
Very difficult for 'ordinary' people to speak out, in those situations, imo. I bet loads complained about Greggggggggg Wallace or Barrowman, for example, but weren't heeded, or were expected to think their carry on was funny. [shudder]Who were enabled because the crew around them were complicit and silent
Also, if you think about it in normal companies/organisations its just the same. No famous people, but its still very hard to speak out about anyone in power. HR teams are there for the company rather than the staff. You also have to laugh off stuff for fear of being seen as a troublemaker or just being spoilsportVery difficult for 'ordinary' people to speak out, in those situations, imo.

Walliams is also scheduled to appear on comedy panel show Would I Lie to You? on Boxing Day on BBC One.
A spokesperson for the BBC said on Friday: "While we're not making any changes to the festive schedules, we have no future projects directly involving David Walliams."
Enabled by commissioners giving him tv series, and agents, talk show bookers etc it’s not down to the studio crew to call it outWho were enabled because the crew around them were complicit and silent
Since they've already had to cut segments and edit out his inappropriate 'jokes' that made everyone else uncomfortable, I suspect he's featuring as minimally in the final edit as they could allow, given that he apparently couldn't be trusted not to do a Nazi salute or other obscene hand gesture when the camera was on himLooks like WILTY is still going ahead at the moment.
David Walliams dropped from Waterstones Children's Book Festival
