Where is Matt Lucas?

You can't mention Sooty and Sweep, they might Soo !!

Especially, going to their homes with the intention of having sex with the male Celebrities. Very unwise and dangerous …..What do these Groupies hope to achieve ?

Do you think that victims of abuse should just ignore what happened and focus on the good in life?

I think it is very reasonable to ask why so many are quiet right now

But this is far bigger than just the celebrities. Who was booking the taxis? Passing on phone numbers? Ignoring the swarms of young girls in DW dressing room? Still booking DW for programmes once it was an open secret?

There are so many people both famous and beyond the scenes who knew.

Tell us you've not been abused or assaulted without telling us...

Sooty was obviously a racist puppet. Actually, also having Harry Corbett's hand up his ass- don't even go there!

Don't be ridiculous. What about a public campaign for men to fucking behave themselves ?!

The ITV documentary last night made the specific allegations public. Giving over the entirety of the 10 o'clock news to the story was pretty public, too. And the Guardian has published: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/ng-interactive/2026/nov/10/david-walliams-accused-sex-grooming-allegations-young-women

Do you want to blame their clothing choices next?

May as well tick all the victim blaming boxes in one go.

That's called victim blaming.

This! If only there was some way that entitled arrogant men could not exploit and abuse people 🤨

"Walliams pulled down the trousers and underwear of a 16-year-old male volunteer on stage during a "hide the sausage" game, told the minor "you’re a big boy for 16!", kissed him, and made suggestive remarks."

There are receipts. It's on YouTube.

Perhaps, like in the RB case, they were initially happy to have sex, or other kids of intimacy with someone they fancied or were flattered by, but did not agree to the acts that the perpetrator wished them to act out? Especially in cases with young naive inexperienced girls and predatory, powerful and manipulative older males. There’s a reason they target young people.

Agreed.

I've been a victim of male violence and rape multiple times. I want to see this culture of blaming the women changed. I'm heartened at least by the public disgust over the behaviour of Brand's KC and the PM's comments on the day of sentencing. I really want to believe that the day of #TimesUp is overdue but finally arriving. As a victim who never received justice, few people can have more of a vested interest in these things than I do.

But I'm with you on the problem of dragging out every name that was ever once associated with these people, and blaming them because they 'knew'. This isn't going to help one iota. It's one thing knowing that someone has a reputation and should be avoided - someone I know who worked in TV in the 80s was warned away from Rolf Harris - but there are strict libel laws preventing people from making such allegations without evidence. Report them to the police on what evidence? They could do nothing with such meagre information, and the perpetrators know it.

By all means blame institutions like the BBC, ITN, Hollywood, the NHS, academia, for their culture of enablement and rugsweeping bullying and sexually abusive behaviour. That's a culture change that desperately needs to happen.

Shaming individuals for not reporting what they can't prove is quite another.

Nigel Farage is a dick but I'm not aware of his being accused of being a predator. Happy to be corrected.

Who knows but they probably don’t want to be raped or sexually assaulted.

Likewise Jonathan Ross. By all means make him accountable for his own behaviour: he's crass and his humour is in poor taste. But I've never seen as much as a suggestion that he's also a predator.

'Just as bad' as Brand, a convicted rapist and multiple sexual assailant?

Hardly.

You don't know he's silent. He may have been questioned by the police

Everyone who ever watched Russell Brand or David Walliams and didn't think they were repulsive amoral men needs to take a good look at themselves.

By who?

>>>his circles are questionable, at best

???

He's a journalist.

Journalists interview people in the public eye.

Some of those people are not nice.

It's that simple.

Their names have been dragged out. But I do wonder why you are so keen to blame women and not men here. Presumably you understand the difference between encouraging his behaviour, and staying quiet because your job depends on it? You understand it was the women in his entourage who worked together to keep other women safe? Everyone who previously raised this issue as a problem, stuck their necks on the line, challenged him publicly, were women. But still, you feel it’s necessary to decide women are just as much of a problem. Why is that?

You’re talking as if Lucas was a minor character in Walliams’ life. They worked together for years, he saw what was going on. That said, he did cut ties with him in 2011 after a major falling out some years earlier. Walliams said it was because they were very different people. It’s entirely possible his behaviour around women was part of that. It was another decade until they worked together again. I’d be interested to hear his views on it. Anyone who stands by him after all of this, has a questionable set of morals.

From an earlier post:

Don't think anyone's going to lose any sleep over an allegation from someone who can't even spell his name.

Why should we not try to do better? FFS!
