David Walliams

[no-no]

Another BBC perve alumni member?

The brass neck on these dirty old men. Whoever it is will be like Huw, Phillip and Barrymore thinking the world owes them and are completely without conscience.

He’s proper Streisand effect-ing himself here. His name’s all over twitter. I still think he’s accused of something absolutely awful (not ‘just’ being a bit handsy) for his publisher to pull all his books.

I’m mindful of Caroline Flack, genuinely don’t want him to commit but it does feel a bit gaslighty to me. He’s at the find out stage of FAFO and he clearly doesn’t like it.

What’s the Streisand effect? Presumably we’re talking barbra? What have I missed?!

Makes me sick . I don’t know enough about huw but Schofield and Barrymore haven’t exactly skulked away and hidden under rocks have they?

She tried to suppress a picture of her house and as a result thousands more people looked at the picture of her house.

Was it not a an actual tourist bus tour?

 

[SweetPerdita]

No, it was a scientific project documenting coastal erosion. Streisand’s house was included but had only been accessed a couple of times, since hardly anyone is going to be searching scientific records on coastal erosion just on the off chance it shows celeb houses. Her complaint made the photo go super viral.

 

[Magwitch]

Are we a 100% sure it’s him or is it a guess

It’s definitely him. An obscure legal magazine named him as the person who was trying to take out an injunction against ITN. Someone posted a screenshot on the celebrity thread.

Fancy wasting all that money on a super injunction when your name is out there any way Sad and desperate man

 

[Lovenews]

Its stupid cos it only works in uk. Why arent news outlets naming him abroad?

 

[Doyouknowwhatimean]

The Guardian is left leaning liberal, for them to go this hard after someone is quite damning. I am suprised it isnt the big red tops.

Is he even that famous abroad? I can't imagine Little Britain translates well and I know his books were popular here but again not sure they have really been sold abroad.

I don’t think he is. I was surprised that TMZ covered it because he’s nobody in America.

I wonder if he is an inpatient somewhere to provide legal evidence of suicidal intent. No one seems to be managing his Instagram comments, but then he lost his publicist and team, maybe they would have done that.

That's a good shout. He may be in hospital. But he is clearly still instructing lawyers, so.....

They're also big on women's issues and my understanding is that the allegations are abuses of power against young women.

I wonder if some of the allegations are from his publisher’s staff. Apparently the younger female staff were told never to be alone with him.

 

[knickerbocker glory]

He’s trending on X. lol.

 

[FlugioHugio]

Everyone seems to be focusing on the injunction itself and the fact that it is widely reported on SM that it's him - so folks are saying everyone knows it's him so why is he bothering. But for me, it seems to be a case of WHAT the Guardian and ITN are wanting to publish. Whatever it is would appear to be serious enough that he's prepared to threaten to or actually end his life to prevent publication.

People have been aware of his problematic behaviour for some time so what is in this new reporting that makes it so injunction-worthy?

 

[Justhereforthedrama]

God imagine if its not him.

I thought this too. This sounds like a person who is desperate for things not to come out - its all out about Walliams already.
