Comedian Lucy Beaumont Fears Being Blacklisted By TV Industry After Blowing Whistle On David Walliams
According to Deadline, comedian and Taskmaster star Lucy Beaumont stated in an interview with Sky News that she has risked her television career by speaking out against David Walliams because the industry does not tolerate troublemakers. Beaumont revealed she was one of the whistleblowers concerning Walliams, who has been accused of using his fame and power to prey on teenage girls. Walliams, known for Little Britain, strongly denies wrongdoing. Beaumont told The Cathy Newman Show that a young person working on a TV show approached her with concerns that Walliams allegedly hosted teenagers in his dressing room, and Beaumont said she subsequently contacted one of the young girls.
