David Walliams accused of sexual misconduct in Guardian and ITN investigation
An ITV News and Guardian investigation, published after a High Court rejected David Walliams's bid to stop it, has several women — two of whom say contact began when they were 15 — accusing the former Little Britain star of sexual misconduct and grooming, allegations he denies while acknowledging in a letter that he sometimes "behaved thoughtlessly." The fallout was swift: his agent dropped him, HarperCollins cut ties, the BBC removed Little Britain from iPlayer, and the Metropolitan Police contacted the outlets to tell potential victims how to report allegations.
