Actor Accuses Walliams of 'Humiliating' Him During Sketch
Edwards says Walliams exposed him to 3,500 people and simulated sex acts during a Comic Relief sketch he says was planned without his consent.
Actor Jeremy Edwards accused David Walliams of "sexually humiliating" him during a 2006 Comic Relief sketch at London's Hammersmith Apollo, claiming he was misled about the performance's content.
During the November 2006 Hammersmith Apollo performance, Walliams played a character in a game called "hide the sausage" that involved unscripted acts beyond what Edwards had agreed to beforehand.
Edwards stated that Walliams unexpectedly pulled down his trousers and underwear, exposing his genitals to 3,500 people; Edwards described the act as "abuse" lacking his consent.
Walliams, a former Britain's Got Talent judge, denies wrongdoing, stating "I am not a sexual predator; I have not broken the law" after being named in an alleged misconduct investigation on Tuesday.
On Friday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed receiving multiple "serious" sex offence allegations against Walliams, launching a criminal investigation into the entertainer's conduct.
