Comedian doubtful about future in TV after blowing whistle on Walliams
An ABC News article reports comedian Lucy Beaumont's doubts she will work in television again after speaking to reporters about David Walliams, following a Guardian and ITV News investigation alleging he groomed teenage fans and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl as far back as 2003 — allegations his lawyers deny. Beaumont, who says she never witnessed the misconduct but was told by a former co-worker about girls being brought to Walliams's dressing room, also says the week Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault marks a second reckoning for British male comedians.
