David Walliams made headlines on Tuesday after being accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women in a joint investigation by the Guardian and ITV News. The 55-year-old actor and comedian, who denies any wrongdoing, was named as part of the investigation after trying to obtain an injunction to prevent the reporting of allegations against him.
