Hey there, OK! Substackers,
David Walliams’ world is crumbling… and now even his children’s books are getting the boot.
The former Britain’s Got Talent judge, whose bestselling books have sold more than 60 million copies worldwide, is facing serious sexual misconduct allegations, including claims involving teenage girls as young as 15.
And schools and libraries across England aren’t waiting around to see how it all plays out.
London’s Camden Council has confirmed it’s removing Walliams’ books from public library displays, while two major academy trusts overseeing more than 100 schools are taking similar action.
“We are committed to making Camden a safer place for women and girls,” a council spokesperson said, explaining the decision to pull his titles.
