ANOTHER British Comedian, David Walliams, Accused of S*xual Assault!
- On Tuesday, a joint report by The Guardian and ITV News accused British children's author and television personality David Walliams of exploiting his celebrity status to prey on women and girls as young as 15.
- In 2025, publisher HarperCollins ended ties with Walliams following reports of a sexual relationship with a junior staffer; a three-year joint investigation by The Guardian and ITV News preceded the public accusations.
- Based on testimonies from 30 people, the report details patterns of grooming and inappropriate conduct. Walliams denied wrongdoing but admitted, "I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people."
- Parents and educators are removing Walliams' books from school curricula, citing concerns over content. Retailer Waterstones confirmed this week it will return the "small number of copies" it still has to HarperCollins.
- After losing a court battle on November 3 to keep allegations private, Walliams faces no current criminal charges. The British government has committed to reviewing how courts suppress potentially embarrassing information.
