David Walliams dropped by publisher

[azuleja]

Over inappropriate behaviour towards women. Anyone surprised?

They have been doing a podcast together.

The one who is in the Paddington movies

I work in a library and his books, while still popular, have been steadily declining over the last year or so, to the point where I’ve actually pulled some from the shelves because they aren’t moving. I took great pleasure in deleting them off the system.

Huge Boniville

Also Gay men on tv getting away with saying things no one else can get away with…!!!

that’s how they get round it

Ive heard nothing about him!

Me neither

They were on the cusp of publishing something about him, that much was known the day/evening beforehand I think, then at the last minute the lawyers managed to stop them going to print with it.

The other bloke on the thread got a super injunction regarding his use of sex workers

I was behind him once at the checkout in Waitrose. It was before the allegations otherwise I'd have checked his shop out more closely.

Is this highie?

Yes. the young lad was in his teens - very likely under 18. In plain sight, on stage.

Add to that the use of blackface, the mocking of other ethnic minorities, the mocking of the disabled. His "comedy" is is racist, misogynistic, ableist and not remotely funny.

As a children's author he does a lot of school visits. But then, so did Jimmy Saville.

Downtown bloke

Bet he'll do a Gregggg Wallace and whine "I'm actually autistic, my hands and dick have minds of their own, you're all persecuting me"

He been a gross perv since forever.

I remember being absolutely shocked he was writing kids books and thinking who the fuck would ever buy a book off him to read to their child?!?!?.

I know for definite he’s a sexual deviant.

He's on his way out!

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I’ve heard a lot about Hugh Boniville

David Walliams I've detested for years. In my press days too, he's smarmy, unkind, unfunny and a complete perv. Am delighted that he's going to be on his way out now, just sad that the poor women (and perhaps men) had to put up with him.

Who is the other bloke?

Agree, they do seem to have more than their fair share...

I also remember him telling Harry Styles on a quiz show that he'd "like to suck his cock" when HS was 17.

He is a such a bad creep and a perv.

Glad to hear he’s on his way out. I have always refused to allow his books in my house and in my school library as they are just awful, as is he. Good riddance to him. Oh, and Jack Monroe was right in 2020 when they ripped into his books- I know there’s some other controversies there, but I wonder why that was silenced so quickly.

Omg is that what greggie is trying to claim?

What did Jack Monroe say about him? I don't remember that.
