David Walliams dropped by publisher

[azuleja]

Over inappropriate behaviour towards women. Anyone surprised?

I admire your optimism, bud sadly think it misplaced.

His sales have dropped 60% this year, it's financially okay to drop him now.

He'd be going nowhere if he was still selling what he used to.

The investigation into him by his publisher was 2024. Over a year ago. The publisher that paid off a member of staff, told young women to see him in pairs, and advised none of them to go to his house.

It's very clear just from his appearance on the wheel just how much he hates women, how arrogant he is and how much thinks he is above everyone else as well as how deeply insecure he is when anyone achieved more than him or gets more attention.

He just wants to bring everyone else down and he's so nasty with it. He takes no joy in anyone else doing anything well.

It's so deeply unpleasant in its own right regardless of any inappropriate behaviour.

I would be very happy with it if I could look forward a couple of decades and see her still friends with the guy and saying how beneficial the relationship was.

I honestly don't know why so many women are so squeaky about the fact that men find young women attractive. Or that young women would value the experience and money an older man usually brings with them.

It's an absolutely natural phenomenon. [I am not talking about paedophilia].

If you type out his name in Google it auto generates

'Firstname Secondname Rumours' as the second option!

Ooh, it does and all!

Won't that rather depend on what comes out next? Not that I'm a cynic, of course, who notices that newspapers seem to dangle a trail and see how many more people come forward. ATM it strikes me as a standard 'move on nothing to see here and no we don't have a lot of weird people working for us.'

Of course!

The BBC weren't going to drop GregG until they did.

BBC cuts ties with Walliams following Telegraph investigation https://share.google/9qaN4NCSjSXekVFp8

BBC are usually both behind the 8 ball and in damage limitation mode toi save their own arses. Always late and usually when the pending court cases can no longer be batted away with platitiudes.

Look on the Williams thread on Reddit. They are quite openly saying his name. Fools.

That is exactly what he's like in real life. You describe him perfectly.

When he was firstly 'A' list he became great mates with Elton John, used to go on holiday with him etc. I wonder if Elton saw through him.

So what we're actually talking about is a narcissist then.

I know who the old "national treasure" presumably is, but if the Scottish one is Billy Connolly I'll be heartbroken.

@ZoeCM never in a million years, don’t worry 😍

Good! I can get off the fainting couch now.

Not BC.

A man with kids who doesn't like women.

That's DT isn't it, didn't someone say it wasn't him?

Ah. Maybe not then.

He's still a twunt anyway.

@justasking111 if it’s the same one I’ve heard about I don’t understand why no one has broken ranks yet given the behaviour of those around him and in his own bloody house. One would be unfortunate. Two a pattern that needs to be looked at.

I was a fan but have heard from multiple first hand witnesses that he’s a thundering arsehole and very grand indeed. A world away from his most famous role.

Probably, it's extremely common. A lot of celebrity books are ghost-written to some extent. Usually they'll give the publisher an idea and someone else will write the actual book.

Male or female. Give us a clue

I've not heard that before and i am shocked and surprised and disappointed. Would never hsve thought he was like that. Not in a million years.

i always thought he was gay tbh

@RedToothBrush I am not bright enough to analyse the cryptic clues, wish I knew who you meant 🤣

You might need to narrow it down a bit 😄. There are loads of DW threads popped up in the last 24 hours or so.
