But on what? What are people thinking He is going to court for and will be sentenced like brand?

fhere is only one thing in the articles and that’s kissing a fifteen year olds breast, nothing else is actually illegal,

I brought up Edwards’ situation as one of the first things he did when it was clear the allegations were going to be reported was get himself admitted. I haven’t made any comparisons with Brand.

The Edwards situation was fast developing after the initial matters were reported by the press. I had read there is an allegation of sexual assault against Walliams. From what has been published already, there have been multiple allegations about his behaviour in different scenarios. It is possible something else may be alleged.

I clocked this pretty quickly on the guardian article, and on many Russel Brand articles. Another male celebrities name seems to be not just regularly mentioned, but bought attention to, in the articles. Wonder what they’ve got on him, I don’t think it’s coincidence the media keep tying his name to these 2.

Jonathan Ross?

What shouts out to me is no one, from what I've seen, is condemning him for saying he'll kill himself if he doesn't get protected.

Yes, it's beyond arrogant. He is assuming we all give the tiniest shit.

ProtestantTraybakeQueen · Yesterday 13:42

Surely everyone has got utterly creepy vibes from both Walliams and Brand since day 1?! Absolute sleaze balls with massive egos, obvious wrong uns!

There are multiple threads in this, where he is roundly condemned, this thread is not about that,it’s about the allegations themselves.

CrazyMidget · Yesterday 13:43

Urgh, just reading the regular news these days makes me feel mucky, there's so much about vile sexual predators.

Companies put up with them and employ them because they make so much money from them. That's why Stoke Mandeville let Savile roam the hospital so much and turned a blind eye to what he was doing - because he raised millions for them each year.

Exactly. Narcissist bell end that he is.

EmotionalSupportCuttlefish · Yesterday 13:44

He now wants protection from the media and says he will kill himself if his behaviour is exposed. He's NOT denying it though! Speaks volumes.

I’m not sure I agree with this, the decision was not made in the court of social media, what you or I think was not taken into account, it was simply a legal perspective, which was answered by a judge, legally. It wasn’t about if you or I cared.

He has denied it, quite strenuously, are people just posting without reading it or something?

I don’t think he’ll be able to handle the fall from grace. Too egotistical. I reckon he’ll find his own way out by the end of the week leaving his ex-wife to pick up the pieces with their son.

That's a very bold statement.

Another thread states that he allegedly had sex with a 15-yr old which isn't true at all.

I'm not defending him, he's a sleaze, but it's important to stick to what is actually being reported for obvious reasons.

I’m not sure if we’re allowed to speculate on names, wouldn’t want MN getting into any legal tRouble if someone gives a Toss about what is posted here.

Him? Really? I know he was part of the awful answer phone crap with Russell Brand but didn't think he was a sleaze.

Well done for trying to do something about it @DancingonmyOwn88 .

Your experience sums up so many people who were working around Walliams, Brand, Harris, Saville etc. It's "known" in the sense that people are wary, it's an open secret etc. But only the people at the top have any ability to stop it - such is the power of the "talent"...

Show quote history

I work in social care. I have a legal responsibility to report Safeguarding concerns. All these people in the media who knew for years Walliams was targetting 15 years and said nothing.... complicit? Brand's entourage who knew he was abusive... complicit in their silence? How do we change this? I'm sickened by these men.

That is sexual activity with a minor and is definitely a criminal offence in the UK.

At the British Comedy Awards, in December 2004, host Jonathan Ross told the audience: “The Comedy Awards is 15 years old. 15 years old. And like all 15-year-olds, it’s drunk, it’s unpredictable and it’s probably going home with David Walliams.” FFS
