David Walliams whistleblower speaks out about 'young girls' taken to comedian's dressing room

His job, this young person, was to take young girls, he definitely knew they were over 16, and he had to take them to Walliams' dressing room. He said they were very working-class girls, and some of them had never been to London before. They'd never been around TV. He felt they were vulnerable. That's comedian Lucy Beaumont opening up to Sky News about an incident that was reported to her three years ago. A young crew member confided in her about David Walliams' alleged sexual misconduct, saying his job on a previous set was to escort young, vulnerable women to Walliams' dressing room. In the UK, the age of consent is 16. Beaumont added that she never worked with Walliams herself and never witnessed this behavior personally. However, she revealed that she was one of the whistleblowers, including more than 30 sources who spoke to The Guardian. Beaumont now fears she'll be blacklisted in the industry for speaking out on the allegations. And in yet another career blow, Walliams has been dropped from the family-friendly film Thing. The 55-year-old comedy star actually co-wrote the movie, which is based on his 2019 children's book of the same name. Walliams is the author of dozens of kids' books and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide. Fing's movie producer said in a statement to Variety, We take the allegations reported regarding David Walliams seriously. Our thoughts are with anyone who has been affected. We have removed his cameo appearance from Thing, and he will have no involvement in the film's release or promotion. Also starring Taika Waititi, Mia Wasikowska, and Williams' Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas, Thing is set to be released in the U.S. in January. But who knows if that'll actually happen? In the UK, the distributor Sky has since removed it from its slate altogether. This all comes one day after news broke that Walliams was unmasked as an alleged sexual predator in a bombshell investigation. Smell. Have a kick, have a day. Being famous made him feel powerful. I hate him. I want to vomit. He lifted my top up. The mystery UK celebrity accused of sexual misconduct has been named as Little Britain star David Walliams.

In the new doc David Walliams' Power and Silence, multiple women accused the comedian of using his status to groom them for sex when they were teenagers. We met when I was 15. He was a figure of authority to me and someone that I looked to for guidance and help. And he used that power and abused that power the minute he felt he just about could and it was just about safe to. Williams denied any wrongdoing in a statement writing, Looking back, I realize that at times I behaved thoughtlessly toward other people I had casual sexual relationships with.
