David Walliams dropped by publisher

[WiDGe->]

My wife shouted TOLD YOU SOMETHING WOULD BE COMING ONE DAY.

Let’s see then.

 

[Agneeta]

Good, he's a real shit.

 

[Ellie]

I keep hearing some rumour that he drafted a memoir and wrote that he lost his virginity to his sister?

 

[WiDGe->]

A spokesman for the publisher said: "After careful consideration, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new titles by David Walliams."

 

[Agneeta]

Someone needs to do the same to JK Rowling. And push her off a cliff.

 

[octophone]

Merry Christmas, you revolting scumbag. Hope you get visited by three coppers on Christmas Eve.

The very idea that he's anywhere near as talented Lord Byron, to get away with incest is baffling.

Huge if true

 

[WiDGe->]

This is the opening of a door. What will come through?

 

[Ellie]

That article is dreadfully written. Repeats itself several times. The gist is that young female employees were advised to stay away from him or meet him in pairs, and one employee received a large settlement before leaving the company. They repeat both of those findings at least 3 times each among other things.

 

[octophone]

That's the Torygraph for you. Shite paper, shite journalists, shite writing.

 

[big ron]

Grubby little man

 

[Penelope]

Hopefully this opens the gates on the TORRENT of stuff that's obviously out there.

 

[octophone]

OH DEAR

I understand why he was able to keep things (just) under wraps, presumably via super injunctions etc. But if it was so widely known what he was like, why did he keep on getting booked for gigs like that?

 

[Penelope]

I feel like this is always the question. The industry just seems to tolerate these things.

 

[octophone]

These industries will tolerate anything as long as the figures keep adding up. As long as audiences were pleased to see him, he was welcome. Capitalism, innit?

 

[dmlaw]

Was there not already shit about Walliams doing Nazi salutes during the recording of that show? How did the BBC not just put the whole thing in the bin and record a new one?

They may not have a choice now - I'm sure The Torygraph's anti-BBC agenda has the piece waiting to roll about this AFFRONT TO THE NATION, as they continue to defend racists, homophobes, transphobes and paedos where it's politically expedient to do so.

 

[straightorbroken]

Sadly people turn a blind eye to these things even if they've been made aware, perhaps because they either don't trust a source or it interrupts their cosy interactions with them. Glad the guillotine has finally came down. Hope those effected by this pig can bounce back and get some empowerment from this.

 

[Pingu]

OH DEAR

I was looking forward to this but I’d imagine it won’t make it to air at this point.

 

[funky]

Never liked him, always gave me the ick, but was always fascinated by how he made so little go such a long way. Isn’t funny, has no screen presence, and is unbelievably smarmy. He is (or was) considered such a national treasure and I don’t understand what the GBP see in him.

I mean he was perfect for that awful Britain’s Got Talent because he’s got that 1970s end-of-pier, stuck-in-the-wrong-decade, carny vibe about him. And he still managed to get sacked from there for being a creep.

Glad it’s all finally coming out but not before he’s made an obscene amount of money from TV execs, publishers and others who clearly knew what he was like.

 

[octophone]

Sure enough, it's on their front page this morning that there is "pressure" on the BBC to drop the show.
