David Walliams accused of abusing fame to have relationships
British comedian and author David Walliams faces multiple allegations from women claiming he used his fame for sexual relationships, including with minors.

Other young women reported receiving unsolicited messages from him. Walliams denies all accusations, admitting only to sometimes acting thoughtlessly. He has faced legal challenges to prevent the publication of these claims, citing mental health issues.
