Years of onscreen jokes suggest Walliams’ reputation was ‘in plain sight’ within industry, insider says
The Guardian reports allegations that David Walliams used his fame to prey on young women and teenagers, and examines more than 20 years of onscreen jokes — from the 2004 British Comedy Awards, a Comic Relief sketch, and talkshow quips by Alan Carr and Jimmy Carr — as apparent public nods to his reputation, which an insider says was "in plain sight". Walliams denies wrongdoing; Jonathan Ross calls the 2004 joke deeply shocking, and Lucy Beaumont describes being told young women were taken to his dressing room.
