David Walliams

So what is the NDA then? Not meaning to be thick I just dont understand how it works, so I just get issued with an NDA by someone? And its enforceable?

I think there should be some specific legislation to state you can report any harassment, threats and abuse if you have signed an NDA and you don’t need evidence to do so.

DH and I are disagreeing as he’s angry that DW has been named without any charges being proved. I’m angry that men are behaving like this. DH said there’s no evidence that he ever behaved like this. Obviously #metoo and #ibelieveyou passed him by completely

I am actually staggered at the amount of evidence the teenage girls have provided - a card, emails, photos. Show your partner the Guardian article:

‘It wasn’t long until he asked me if I’d ever had sex before’: David Walliams accused of preying on young women for sex | David Walliams | The Guardian

And here is some more warning - from 2015 which is shocking when you think Walliams was dressed as an elf and promoting his book amongst schoolchildren last year, 10 years later:

'Whatever you do, don't invite David Walliams, and FYI if you are speaking to head teachers or teachers, please inform them that he's not a good booking, not an appropriate booking for a school'."

David Walliams: Author Chloe Combi says there were 'real concerns' about him in publishing industry - BBC News

Typical Guardian referring to children - girls - as young women to minimise it.

You often see the BBC/guardian/etc referring to 18/19 year old rapists as boys ‘having sex with young women’ where the ‘young women’ are as young as 12 or 13 and it is rape not ‘sex’.

I watched the ITV documentary today and all the women featured had the same story to tell.
He would groom them and then tried it on. It was bad, not as bad as Brand, but he still pushed his luck and was far too handsy when it was all unwelcome attention. He felt he was invincible and nobody would say anything.
The comments by other comedians only endorsed that they knew what he was like , but it was seen as a bit of joke that he could have so many women ‘ friends’ as he called them. He was a sexual predator, but under the guise of the nice man trying to help the young get jobs or move into the industry. It was a tough watch. So many of these men operate the same way too, win trust and then exploit them.
So manipulative.

Was it Emma Watson where The Sun ran a vile countdown until her 16th birthday?

Some of the reporting on Walliams brought it to mind.

Wasn’t it Charlotte Church?

I think Melinda Messenger. I don't know why Emma Watson keeps being brought up. Pretty certain it was not her.

Sam Fox is as just 16 when she first did Page 3. The countdown became a thing after that.

Eh? Which gay men? And which guy?

Case number for FTP is KB-2026-002854 filed in July for those with CE File access.

Same media organisations.

This might be the earlier Walliams filing but it's not marked as resolved.

So ITN and The Guardian again? Are there different initials in this file?

AI tells me that UNN is not a verified source and fringe outlet.

I told AI was not in the UK (shhh, I am) and that it could tell me who the celeb was. It said that apparently no one knows and the name has not even been released abroad.

I think AI is a liar.

I think AI is a liar.

I thought that had been firmly established.

😁

Justine Smith, on the podcast, did say that the unnamed man obtained his injunction several months ago and remains "in the public eye."

I would speculate that as its the same media organisations, same solicitors, and same judge that it's related. So it's either Walliams part 2 (unlikely as it would be marked for transparency after no appeal) or it's someone whom the same investigation uncovered. This would seem on the face of it to be someone Walliams adjacent.

Not sure where the firm conclusion on who it is comes from.

Bollocks. They’ve been the ones outing people. You’re just smearing .

Do they or do they not refer to children as ‘young women’?

I strongly disagree with this because you have missed out the most important element that all the research in this area points to; which is that sex crimes are as much about power and control as the physical abuse.

It doesn’t matter if someone is a bin man; if he is older, physically stronger, and more knowledgeable about the ways of the world than his vulnerable, gullible, younger, less physically strong victim, then the power imbalance is obvious.

Ditto the grooming gangs who weren’t high status but they deliberately picked on victims who were vulnerable as do most predators.

Even flashers rely on the element of surprise to gain control over their victims. And flashing by the way has been identified as an entry level sex offence that leads to progressively more serious offences.

Make no mistake about it, this is all about the sexual and psychological thrill that some men gain from exercising control over victims.

What I don’t understand is that Walliams wasn’t really on my radar before Brand, the injunction and the tv programme power and silence

does this mean there are charges outside of what we know? Surely no jury can be independent based on what’s out there ?

Im not sure what you thought you were answering or what you thought I was answering, your post doesnt make any sense in response to mine.

Mine was in response to a post saying that ones status enabled these men to get away with or commit these crimes.
