Walliams has been openly a creep for a long time, whether it was confirmed criminal or not. I don’t think it’s the same. There’s just a line of behaviour somewhere where buying books for your kid from a creep crosses from acceptable to unacceptable.
People had been accusing Cosby as early as the 80s about assaults that happened as early as the 60s. Similar to how UK comedians joked openly about Walliams being a creep long before the allegations ever became public, the allegations against Cosby became public after the comedian Hannibal Buress joked about it on stage. It’s not a 1 to 1 comparison by any means, but there are a lot of parallels in how the situations are playing out.
Seems the UK is going through their own Cosby moment right now with the David Walliams allegations
