Revealed: David Walliams accused of using celebrity status to prey on young women for sex

To be fair, British humour has always been somewhat camp; absurd, theatrical, flamboyant and heavy on sexual innuendo.

Even legends like the Monty Python crew frequently performed in drag and leaned heavily into sexual innuendo and absurdism.
True. But it became overly edgy at some point.

And the edgiest of them were made to be the new staple of British comedy, by the media.

Look at something like Allo Allo.

It was adult humour... plenty of sexual innuendo. But there was no edge or bite. It was humour for everyone.
 
An investigation by The Guardian and ITV News published in November 2026 features accounts from more than 30 people—including multiple women and junior employees—who accused British comedian and author David Walliams of sexual misconduct, grooming, and abusing his celebrity status.

People are paid to come forward all the time and are encouraged to say things.

Like Piers Morgan's obvious desperation to paint one of Brands young flings into a victim. Now much older, she didn't fall into the trap.

I read through 3 articles like this one, yesterday, on Walliams. I could not find a single crime with an actual victim.

Example:
If your company investigates sexual misconduct against you after staff complaints. Do you think they contact the police? 9 out of 10 times, no. It may not be criminal, but it is still unacceptable conduct.

Name a victim, from your pov. Let's see if I am missing something. As I said it's quite possible I missed it. People miss things all the time with the amount of distraction and sensationalism. They also dub stuff in when there is nothing there, tho'.... don't say it doesn't happen. đź‘€

But let's unpack one accusation at a time. Pick one of the most clear-cut instances and let's unpack it to see what is or isn't there.

Over to you.

I'd rather let the police investigate.

In the meantime, I will warn my children.

I think that is because a lot of what was considered pushing the boundaries of acceptability and decency in the past has become a lot more acceptable, if not mainstream, so naturally people take it up a level and it heads more into outright shock.

We have openly gay comedians/comedic hosts now, so being subtle about it is pointless when you have people like Allan Carr, Graham Norton and Tom Allen who are actually gay and open about it. Even dressing in drag. Eddie Izzard is, well, I don't know how Eddie Izzard identifies these days, but at one time they were openly a crossdresser/transvestite.

Now you are making more sense.

The question and froth over Walliams, is a bit reminicent of the Me Too crowd. People tend to get carried away and assume guilt.... which is a true shame.

The same cannot be said of presuming innocence. That's part of Western culture... to presume innocence until proven guilty.

The fact that may ave escaped your attention is that "Unacceptable conduct" does not sell advertizing!!!

I would say Eddie is from the old school of British humour.

The fact he's a tranny didn't necessitate an edge to his humour.
 
Geez man what good is a celebrity status these days if you cannot use it to have sex with young women. That's the entire point.
Flip through the media coverage and it is at least 99% inferred guilt.

They desperately want to say "girls," but they have to say "women," when it comes to any sexual acts.

If there were any they would not have held back, that is for sure.
 
It's amazing, in the UK something like this can end a career, end you up in jail and get your content pulled from the net for the most part, which of course is right - especially if you are found guilty.

In the US they make you president.

Fair point. How they dressed and who they were played no part in their humour.

Why are you trying so hard to defend this guy.

Wierd.
 
Yes.... too young to have sex, but she was >17 when that happened.

You have to read passed the flim flam.
Ja, no. These old dudes that spawn camp and groom young girls until they are barely legal is disgusting.

Especially if they met in some kind of "work" environment.
 
My point about the media desperately seeking clicks...... putting words in their guests' mouths... doing a terrible job of gaslighting, here...
