The 54-year-old’s television career has already stalled following allegations about sexist remarks he made as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.

But it can now be revealed that he was also at the centre of a major Harper Collins investigation last year, after a junior employee complained about his conduct.

In 2023, a junior employee raised concerns and an investigation by the publisher followed. Employees who had worked with Walliams were interviewed as part of the inquiry, which also involved at least one in-house lawyer.

Well-placed sources told The Telegraph that following the investigation, some junior staff were kept away from the author and one employee agreed a settlement and received a payoff. Former staff also told this publication that they were told to work in “pairs” when meeting Walliams and were advised not to visit his home.

A junior woman who had raised concerns about the author’s behaviour left the organisation after concluding a settlement with Harper Collins that included a five-figure payout.

It could be good ole misogyny and harassment towards women and not necessarily sexual, but whose to say?

Its good to treat people well and how you want to be treated. Just make sure its wanted on their end.

If people don’t want things in return and the people in their life recognize that and honor that desire, then they are following the meme.

It’s about tuning in to the people in your life and making sure you’re caring for people who care for others. If they prefer to be ignored, then that is still caring for them by ignoring them.

And you’ve completely ignored the conversation in here around tailoring the care back to the person who needs it. It’s good to care about the people who are caring for you and meeting them where they’re at or giving them back what they need.

Taking a meme that is simply a reminder to care about the people in your life that care for others and getting fucking pissy about it is the most terminally online thing I’ve seen this week, goddamn.

They mean the friend who’s always making all the plans sometimes needs other people in the group to take some initiative.

They even said “sometimes” in there and you still felt the need to reply “No”. Like come on. Not everyone is the same as you and most people appreciate others in their life caring about them.

The people in your life know that caring for you means leaving you alone. They are caring for you in the way you need the most, right?

You’re a bit of an outlier here, let’s be honest lol

In a separate legal matter, well-known children’s book author David Walliams has launched an injunction against ITN and the Guardian. This action highlights ongoing tensions between public figures and the media, particularly around issues of privacy and defamation. The case promises to attract significant attention given Walliams’ public persona and the prominence of the media organizations involved.

It’s David Walliams

He was inappropriate with young women.

I hate to say it, but unfortunately this isn’t weird at all. It’s sadly a common occurrence to have men sexually harass women and girls.

I tend to use “oh come on”, but it’s just a suggestion at the end of the day.

I hope you know I’m not that hung up on it hence the Southpark reference. It can be annoying how my gender is used when in discussions here and that felt pointed.

We were talking past one another and ultimately (I think) we mostly agree. We’re cool if you wanna be cool, no sarcasm :)

That’s really nice of you to say, thank you so much! I hope you have a nice evening as well <3

Oh I totally agree! I’m a gamer as well. It can be a deal breaker for some though. That’s all.

I think you would prefer me talking to you with the phrase “come on gal” instead of “come on man”, which is what I’d use for someone who is male/non-gendered, as it’s an exasperated statement.

Or you could avoid gendered expressions to begin with.

Glad you got my reference though lol

in the way they may need the most.

I didn’t ignore your comment and communicating with others about how they want to be cared for is important. I noted that. I think some people are reading too far into the meme when it’s simply pointing out that people who care for others also need to be cared for by others.

You don’t need to call me “gal” here. I’m not your buddy.

Ok but the meme isn’t talking about disabled people. It’s talking about noticing when others are caring for you and returning that care in the way they may need the most.

An unexpected, but pleasant surprise!

My ex had very strong opinions about how our house should look - strong enough to push all of my wants out of the way - so this is a nice soft place to be in the aftermath :)

I married a man who likes Dragon Ball Z enough to have several of the mangas, so don’t get me wrong here. Some of this stuff doesn’t necessarily bother me personally, but there’s a certain reputation that fans of the Joker get and picking Thanos of all the Marvel characters is a choice.

Gaming is hit or miss - if someone is into gaming so much that all of their decorations are gaming related, it begs the question if they are willing to make enough time in their life for you around their hobby. And I say this as a gamer myself. It’s known to be a hobby that people dedicate a lot of time toward.

because you really can piss someone off with this mentality

This is really strong language and it made me curious, that’s all.

You don’t like people caring about you?

I’m so confused about your reaction to a meme that is simply encouraging the “golden rule” - treat others how you want to be treated lol

Dating is all about being judgmental - you’re looking for someone that’s compatible with you. A lot of people find idolizing the Joker and Thanos not compatible with them.

Oh ok, you’re purposefully being obtuse about this then lol

Yeah the implication is that it’s cringy.

The meme is talking about consideration as well, not just physical gifts, but ok.

I think the message is more about thinking of the other people in your life that care about you.
