David Walliams

It is, but that one poster is, as I said earlier, being deliberately obtuse or goady. No one can actually be that stupid not to grasp such a basic point.

Look at the news. Paedo stuff, rape stuff and grooming. The top 3 stories today.

I'm watching the ITV documentary on Tube, it's nasty creepy stuff,much older famous wealthy man using his celebrity to access very young girls. One thing that really made me feel sick was an extract of an interview with DW and Alan Carr. Carr asks DW how he gets so many women, and DW replies that he offers them lifts in his car. AC responds, " So you are like a dodgy taxi driver, you get them into the car and then pounce", and both men then convulse with laughter. I've had to get away from a "dodgy taxi driver" and one of my friends was raped by one, and then of course there was the Jon Worboys case. i get more disgusted by men by the day

The Guardian says he invited loads of younger women out on social media, but he never, ever assaulted any of them.

The Guardian didn't say 'he never, ever assaulted any of them' what a load of bull.

But he hasn’t been accused of rape?

Consent isn’t really applicable here, is it?

Most of this I see a man trying to date younger women by sending postcards and flowers and coming across as a bit desperate.

Unedifying, yes. Illegal and rapey, no.

The issue with the 15 year old girl is entirely different and definitely illegal and will presumably be investigated.

The rest of it is just noise.

Men are letches and always have been. But hopefully the tide is turning on this although I’m doubtful this behavior will ever be fully stamped out.

Same here, on all counts. He was only ever a poundshop Roald Dahl imo, but DS loved the books.

For me, DW's cover was blown by the legal press who referred to "Walliams injunction" in a headline on the most lucrative cases for a particualr firm. The judgment itself makes very dark reading.

Isn’t that exactly their point.

Computer said NO

.....AND many women and girls said NO, and it means NO!

Good point

But to never ever assume they're 'fine' until they REALLY get to know them 😔

And even then you can't really tell..........

I feel very sorry for DW’s son.
His Mum, Lara Stone has recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
His Dad, DW has threatened that he will commit suicide if allegations are allowed in the public arena. And apparently DW has made suicide attempts.
That poor child. 😢

Same, same. Its sad that we should have to bring our daughters up to assume the worst of the men they meet to avoid, at best, disappointment, at worst being killed by one.

But to never ever assume they're 'fine' until they REALLY get to know them 😔

Just to say MNHQ have just pulled a thread about Jonathan Ross, so think about what you're posting

I know.
Extraordinary isn’t it.

Someone gave my daughter one of his books for her birthday once (years ago), and I immediately gave it to a charity shop. Though I felt guilty about that, for whoever would read it (I can't bring myself to throw books away). But I certainly didn't want it in our house.

Sorry. I got that wrong. She was 17 at the time of that message. He met her when she was 15.

For clarity, that message was sent to a 17 year old who had told him she was "old enough to drink" (implying she was 18).

Yes, and then Jade: she met him when she was 15. She says that weeks after he first made contact, he invited her to his house and initiated sexual contact. (The Guardian)

Going back 20 years, DW was a relatively frequent guest on the Chris Moyles Radio1 breakfast show. And I distinctly remember Chris Moyles saying that sometimes a guest would come on who made everyone in the studio and behind the scenes uncomfortable and DW was such a guest.
Chris Moyles really liked him and didn't get it despite being letched on during the entire interview. But there wasn't an imbalance of power between DW and CM, so of course he wasn't going to get it.
But Chris Moyles was also the guy who said 'Your boobs are enormous!' to a then heavily pregnant Davina McCall as he started the interview. No hello, no how are you. Just straight in there followed by a conversation about her breasts and backside.
To millions and millions of listeners, many who were on the way to school.
And we wonder why we are where we are.

You in the bath is a nice thought."

His telling a 15 year old girl he is thinking about her naked is sexual.

Certainly a possibility. I can only comment on what's been published so far however.

Shame he had to sell his £19m Verbier home due to his other debts, he could of holed up there instead of Marsh Farm.

The Sun did the same thing with Charlotte Church and Emma Watson I believe. Probably more.

I think they're all a bunch of creeps (Brand, Walliams, Ross and Fielding).

So I'm genuinely curious what you mean.
