David Walliams

This is a reliable rounding up of the current stories. The journalist on here says there is another injunction - so they will know who it is? From about 6:50 listing the lawyers protecting Brand ......

Except a lot of people included in "everyone" are brain-dead morons.

The Daily Star has said there's another injunction out preventing allegations of a sexual nature coming out. They give no clues to the identity but confirm there are multiple complaints from women. Yet at least half the "guesses" being made by people on the report are suggesting GAY MEN.

Now everyone will have an idea who the next one is too …..

You get no context at all from that photograph?

Astonishing.

Gervais, appeared in Spaced, the 11 O'Clock Show, Meet Ricky Gervais 2000 and before. After that The Office and Extras.

He looks very established with Ross there. More so than sat-at-the-back Walliams.

But sure. I'd be more inclined to write it off if the picture was AFTER Ross chose to use a submitted joke about 16 year olds.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I guess its also possible that Ghislane just didn't notice Guiffre and Andrew together in that picture.

He has always had an unpleasant vibe about him, somehow. And some of his humour is distinctly misogynistic.

To be fair to both Ross and Gervais (but particularly Gervais as this was right at the start of his career), we don’t know the context there at all. I gather it was a charity comedy event, they probably didn’t know who this girl was and perhaps it was commonplace for young people to be invited along. They’re posing for a quick photo, she isn’t sitting with them so presumably didn’t drink and dine alongside them. I don’t know, it’s easy to judge from snapshots. I doubt Gervais is complicit, he was very fresh on the scene when that pic was taken.

Steve Coogan made jokes about Jimmy Savile being a pervert and a creep for years. Then he played him and was paid £££££. Then the show was sold all around the world and won him praise. More millions in Steves bank, not a penny to the victims. I was assaulted by Savile and wrote to the BBC to ask if they thought it was appropriate for them to profit from telling the victims story, when they had enabled the rapist. But I didn't get an answer because Operation Yewtree survivors are still listed as vexatious complainants by the BBC.
Its pretty wild eh?

It reminds me of Steve Coogan who wanted to go out with my friend who when she was 15 years old. Dread to think who else he tried it on with.

I'm making a character judgement not suggesting legislation.

I'm happy to accept that sometimes large age gaps work, but if there is a pattern of repeatedly seeking out and then ditching much younger girls and women, he isn't interested in their unique personality.

Prince Andrew
Philip Schofield
Hugh Edwards
Russell Brand
And now allegedly David Walliams.

Their entitlement is off the charts. They all behaved as if only their feelings matter and they all use mental health as an excuse when found out, from sex addiction, to stress, to depression.

It’s an established pattern and one thankfully we all recognise now but we need to get a hell of a lot better at stopping it from the outset.

These cases are known about because of the celebrity status of the men involved but there are hundreds of other similar individuals, usually males, in the work place, in a police force, or army regiment, at the sports club, in a church, or school, taking advantage of their superior status right now who need to be called out and in the majority of cases it needs to be other men of similar status policing this.

She looks like a hostage. 😬

That is complete rubbish. What are you going to do ban relationships if there is XXX age gap. You couldnt police this.

I had a realtionship when I was 19 with someone 17 years older than me. It was my choice to do this and whilst it ended I dont think I need to say I was vunerable and didnt really know what I was doing

Didn’t know about that. Reminds me of a time when one of the worst narcissists I’ve ever known tried that on with my mother. I think people are right to be cynical on this occasion.

I don’t like them altogether. There’s always a built in legal obligation on the person signing to hide things, very often dodgy stuff. Those not signing are usually disadvantaged, in more ways than one. That said, I’m sure there are commercial in confidence reasons sometimes, but they shouldn’t be use to hide bad be. CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) also says this.

Ive never got a vibe off him or the bake off one, but who knows

Something fishy..but in which direction not sure

So strange....

Yes, I also expected it to be boys

There is something v odd about him
to me! I really wonder about him

Do you really think so?

Perhaps pedo's have a certain look?

What strikes me every time I see that picture is "Ross didn't know", he says.

All he had to do was turn around and the context for the "joke" would have been obvious.

Are we to believe he didn't turn around?

And Gervais? Fearlessly attacked Hollywood, yet chickened out back home?

From the photo he appears to have had male friends who were his own age.

They were in their 20s and he was looking for a relationship.

Why not look for a relationship with somebody of his own generation?

Photo now added.

There is absolutely no valid reason to have young teenage girls in your dressing room - no matter who you are.

If you are hiding behind the excuse that it was just 'fans' - why weren't adult men and women regularly in his dressing room.

It's clear why they were there. To stroke his warped ego.
