David Walliams. Quelle surprisé!

Worse kept secret in history....

Thanks. It was making my teeth itch.

Such self-indulgent, manipulative claptrap. Threatening suicide to get his own way? Boo fucking hoo.

Oh bloody hell. I know nobody but me is surprised but I genuinely liked him
as a performer (not as a children’s writer)

TBF to Ross, at various patches of his career he has been literally everywhere and knew everyone. In an odd way I think he’s almost naive and easily attracted by charisma. Not really an excuse but the fact that he doesn’t suspect people is not a bad thing. He should have more judgement by this age though.

I think he will. He's unlikely to hang around to see this through.

Ross has participated in their vileness too many times for that to be in any way credible.

If he sees the inside of an HMP establishment
He could fall back on his LB character
"I'm a laydee"
I'm sure there would be some takers
So to speak.

Jonathan Ross has given a statement now.

Think that is a bit of a stretch when trying to explain the ‘joke’

Birth name, Williams. He deserves a fine for that wanky name...

@MadameEtourdiethanks , irritated me too

Had to change it for stage name

Plenty of other names out there he could have used.

And he didn't have to change it for a stage name. He chose to.

If there is one thing I firmly believe after the Epstein files (which have revelead substantially nothing and won't in the future), Brand, Walliams etc is that the global paedophile network and abuse against women is so deep, few of us will ever know the people behind it or participants.

They are politicians, judges, billion dollars company CEOs...literally the people running our coutries that will never allow a full global investigation.

It's sickening.

I think JR has been quiet for ages knowing this was coming. Same for Noel Fielding who disappeared for a while from his Apple show. Simon Cowell probably washed his hands of him a while back and got him removed from BGT.

There’s another thread started by someone who watched the show and doesn’t think what he’s done is “ that bad” and some posters agreeing. I despair of some people. Always got a creep vibe from him, like I have with everyone found to be a creep.

And now "Jonathan Ross says he's ever so shocked" is the lead story on the BBC.

Wouldn't surprise me if Ross (or someone close to him) has been reading a bit of Mumsnet, and decided it would be better to try to look clueless rather than complicit..

Ross gives the same energy.

I’m massively confused. The woman’s just been all over BBC making an allegations about itabout it yet the police say they haven’t had any complaints.
doesn’t make sense

I suppose I feel rather the opposite about paedophilia and abuse. Most of it is done in plain sight or the next best thing. We just choose to ignore it until we don’t. There are interesting posts and articles around about how a lot of the famous guys write an exact description of what they have done in their autobiographies - crickets. Trump said approvingly that Epstein liked younger women. The grooming gangs were openly picking girks up from school. It’s the opposite of hidden.

I 💯agree. The victim will be feeling uncomfortable but if everyone around them is saying the behaviour ok and laughing etc then they question themselves.
