David Walliams

Oh cmon, he has not been accused of rape, if you prefer that language better. The worst he’s been accused of is kissing a fifteen year olds breast, which is heinous in itself, and is sexual assault, but is not a rape allegation.

But again if you read the article and look at his messages, there is nothing sexual in them,

I am currently watching Power and Silence, the David Walliams story, on Youtube and it's grim. There appears to be a lot of email and social media messaging evidence to suggest he was the one to instigate conversations with teenagers.

I've always had bad vibes about JR - add the bake-off man to that vibe too

We don’t know what went on in private!

They said the 1hr documentary is on utube

Which bit are you referring to in the article?

You realise MN isn't pay per word? Explain what you're saying!

Not when they were underage, but in one of the women's cases the contact turned sexual once she turned 17. Even if that's not falling foul of the grooming laws, that's grooming, plain and simple. I don't think anyone would disagree that that is completely unacceptable behaviour for a 32 year old man - famous or not. It's definitely serious enough behaviour to permanently damage your reputation and your likelihood to be employed in the public eye again. He would have known that at the time, and he did it anyway.

I'm so sad about that. Always liked NF. I know that visually he presents as alternative and a bit weird, but I never got the creepy vibe from him. Unlike DW.

Your certainty that he will do it and that he will do it by the end of the week.

The 15 year old says he kissed her breast and tried to put her hands down his trousers. That would constitute sexual assault as far as I'm aware.

Miranda Hart owned a production company with Walliams - but seems she fell out with him as far back as 2019.

I'd be interested to know why - business only or was she aware of his potentially predatory behaviour?

My certainty? On my certain-ometer I put ‘reckon’ at around 60%.

I was at a publishing event in 2015 (I remember the year because I was still BFing and milk leaked through my dress). Harper Collins was a sponsor and I was at a table with some of their staff. They told me that they didn't allow any of their young female colleagues to be alone with him.

Since then I haven't bought any of his books for my Libraries or delivered lessons that have promoted them and I've never bought his books for my own children. However I have accepted them as donations and added those as stock because they were so popular but in the last 2 or 3 years I've not replaced copies that have worn out and donations of his books have often been added to my 'freebies' table.

I've got one or two hardbacks put to one side which will be turns into folded book Christmas Trees. I'm sharing paper-crafts ideas with my Librarian colleagues so that we can make something beautiful out of his shit.

But the messages are things like good luck in your exams, stay in touch, he’s been very careful. There is nothing in there sexual,

God I think speculation from @Bundleflower about when someone might die by suicide is pretty unnecessary. Jeez.

So why is he threatening to kill himself if he’s not done anything wrong?

Confused by the multiple posters defending DW. Clearly there are loads of men who post here. Even if he's not a rapist, he's sexually assaulted kids. He's a nonce.

Unfortunately, I reckon the large majority of men would behave like this, if they thought they could get away with it.

I think you actually mean ‘speculation by BundleFlower on when someone may follow through what he threatened as part of his sickening attempt to silence the British media about his vile behaviour as a final act of trying to take control’.

Sadly I think that the number of men, once they find power through fame, wealth or celebrity who do do this - bears witness to this.

Some of them would - they just don't get the opportunity.

I do of course understand that not all men would even if they could. But still ... its so bloody depressing.

Have met him, work reasons. He was an absolute smarmy prick and I believe every single allegation.

Also know people who had to work with Brand and no-one could stand him, another absolute Bellend who was horrible to anyone ‘beneath’ him. Which in his stupid little head was pretty much everyone.

I don't agree with his attempt to silence the media with this threat - either morally or legally.

But I don't think its in good taste to speculate excatly when a child's father might take their own life.

I do accept however that by running this argument through the court, he has brought this discussion into the public domain so there we are.

FWIW I feel that if was seriously going to do it, it would be done by now. I don't think he will.

Here I am speculating ... hypocritically.

‘Harper Collins was a sponsor and I was at a table with some of their staff. They told me that they didn't allow any of their young female colleagues to be alone with him.’

same went for Brand, friend said that they wouldn’t let him be alone with any female staff and no woman under 30 around him at all.
