Jonathan Ross ‘Horrified’ by Allegations About David Walliams and Russell Brand
- On Tuesday, television presenter Jonathan Ross issued a statement expressing he is "horrified" by Russell Brand's criminal convictions and sexual misconduct allegations against David Walliams, maintaining he was "genuinely unaware of their conduct."
- These comments follow Monday's sentencing of Brand to 10-and-a-half years for rape and sexual assault, alongside a joint investigation by The Guardian and ITV News naming Walliams on Tuesday.
- Resurfaced footage from the 2004 British Comedy Awards shows Ross joking about Walliams "going home with 15-year-olds"; Ross explained the script was submitted by a writing team and he would not make the joke today.
- Walliams denies all wrongdoing, describing his past behavior as "thoughtless" but rejecting claims of being a "sexual predator." The Metropolitan Police stated they are "aware" of media reports but have received no specific criminal reports.
- The investigation, featured in the documentary David Walliams: Power and Silence, has prompted wider scrutiny of celebrity associations. Ross appeared in a charity event photo alongside Walliams and a woman who later made allegations against him.
