David Walliams Dropped from Film and Publishing Amid Misconduct Allegations
British comedian David Walliams has been removed from the upcoming film "The Road to Nevermore" following misconduct allegations, with filming still in early stages and no official contract signed. HarperCollins ceased publishing his new and existing books after an internal investigation into his alleged behavior toward junior female employees, including reports of harassment and a staff member receiving a payoff. Walliams has denied the allegations. His talent agency YMU is no longer actively representing him, and his name has been removed from the film's cast listing.
