As the title. Aibu to think it’s a bit of a joke Jonathan Ross is being slaughtered while Matt Lucas is silent? Surely he would have known and have things to say!

Im fed up of hearing about all that crap now. Focus on the good in life instead of looking to stir the pot and get worked up.

You’re fed up hearing about victims getting justice for being raped and sexually assaulted?

You’d rather it was ignored?

There are allegations teenaged boys were abused on a little Britain tour… silence is complicity in my book

Receipts, please.

Oh wait ... there aren't any, are there?

TouchMyBumThisIsLife · 11/11/2026 02:19

Yeah I know

Oh for goodness sake, how many more names are you all going to throw out tonight? Some poster got criticised for suggesting Sooty and Sweep, but we might as well.

What about Sue? What she got up to with Mathew Corbett on tour would make your hair curl.

If they're talking about what I believe they are, there's literally video proof on YouTube right now. Of Walliams on stage, pulling down the trousers of teenage boys and simulating sex with them.

There's also video of them backstage during wardrobe talking about a 'very serious letter' of allegations that Walliams reads from.

Um you do know that there are plenty of photos out there of Piers Morgan with Andrew Tate/ Donald Trump/ Nigel farge .. so it's hardly riding when the evidence is right there

Thomas Markle, Max Clifford.

Dinkyboy63 · 11/11/2026 02:47

Why isn't there a public campaign to warn young people to stay away from celebrities? Obviously I get that certain celebrities are responsible for abuse and rape but everyone also has a responsibility to keep safe. Mixing with celebrities is not a good way to do this.

Videos of Walliams sexually assaulting boys and men on stage are all over the internet. It was one of his regular sketches on the LB live show.

He had to apologise to victims and audiences on more than one occasion.

TouchMyBumThisIsLife · 11/11/2026 03:03

It's all coming out now

ColourMeShocked · 11/11/2026 03:38

Dunno where he is but am sure Bake Off producers are relieved he quit and was replaced by Alison. Matt Lucas and Noel Fielding both continuing to present at the same time on the same bill, whilst their former mates were tangled with the old bill, would have got some traction.
Should we judge celebs on the company they keep?

DeftGoldHedgehog · 11/11/2026 03:50

Keeping his head down if he has gone any sense. Surely he stopped working with DW many years ago?

Do tell which “perverts” Piers Morgan has befriended! What a ridiculous statement.

Oh he loves Thomas markle used to interview him on a very regular basis

Octavia64 · 11/11/2026 04:23

Taskmaster just finished with Matt Lucas on it.

I did wonder at the timing.

He is well known to be a terrible judge of character. A sample of individuals he’s circled with:
Max Clifford
Thomas Markle
Rolf Harris
Guiseline Maxwell
David Walliams
His father was connected to Jimmy Saville for work.

I appreciate that he’s a journalist but his circles are questionable, at best. And to be clear, the opinion here is that he is a terrible judge of character. Nothing more.

WitsEndFFS · 11/11/2026 06:21

People are attracted by power. They choose to cultivate powerful and influential people. And I judge them for it. Slughorns, the lot of them, networking for their own ego.

I bet all the closeted abusers are fed up too and want everyone to move on!

PilotingAWail · 11/11/2026 06:42

The people (men) connected professionally to the men that are being outed as wrong uns are damned if they do & damned if they don't.

If they say 'I knew they were dirty nonces, rapists' etc, then why didn't they speak up and then they're open to more scrutiny, including police questioning.
Im sure if their name had come up in relation to any of the occurring assaults they would have been already spoken by police (JR, ML etc)

If they (anyone connected to these men) put out statements saying 'I'm not a nonce or a rapist' how are people going to perceive that?

As yet, DW hasn't been charged with anything. Im definitely not saying he hasn't committed any crime, the police need the evidence and time to make a strong enough case to stand up in court.

Other 'slebs' wading in is probably not going to help them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry if the abuse of women, boys and girls is boring to you.

Maybe get back on Tiktok eh and do some dances or something 🙄

Itsnotallaboutyoulikeyouthink · 11/11/2026 06:54

Same could be said for Ant and Dec and Simon Cowell in BGT. Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon. They all must have known something.

How many time were women listened to when they raised concerns?

Exactly. One of Ian Watkins' girlfriends raised concerns about him a few times and was ignored.

He was filmed doing it.

This is post from Timothy saxby on threads which I find interesting. Looks like he did know and just distanced himself from him. I’m not sure we can point the blame at him more than anyone else that surrounded him at the time.

“I really hope Matt Lucas comes out of all this okay. 🤞

There have been signs of distance from Walliams over the years:

  • He refused to make second series of Come Fly With Me.
  • Their podcast ended after 10 months.
  • Recently played Fagin in the West End
  • Appeared on Taskmaster.
  • Shut down Little Britain revival rumours in September 2026 despite Walliams comments in 2025.

None of this proves anything, but it's interesting to look back on.”

The problem is that money talks.
No one wants to kill the golden goose if they benefit from the golden eggs the goose lays.
Hence so many getting away with it for so long.

This is what Lucy Beaumont referred to in her interview on Sky yesterday. Everyone in TV is being paid too much to want to risk that by calling out bad behaviour.
