The same with Noel Fielding. There's the Geldof stuff, but beyond that, and I know it sounds incredibly naive, but I've not really heard much other than "you get the vibe" and because of one of his now convicted mates. 

A friend of mine used to live opposite a secondary school and knew some of the girls there. She said Noel Fielding used to hang around them a *lot*.

There's a rapist from Baby Reindeer based on a some British comedy chap that apparently "everyone knows who it is". So I imagine there is more to come down the line, whoever he is.

A comedy writer I follow said that after the news about Brand aired on TV, he was going through the next ad break thinking "predator, predator, predator" for half of the voiceovers. I'm not going to pretend to any secret knowledge, and it's not a conversation I've had with the few people I know in stand-up, but you hear enough to know that, similar to indie wrestling, there are private conversations and messages along the lines of "don't accept a lift from this guy", "don't let him get you in a room alone".

I don't know enough about the Baby Reindeer thing, but my impression was that it could well be a producer/promoter more than a working comic.

Sorry to link to the Metro but apparently there is another super injection which has been granted to a British male celebrity accused of being a wrong 'un

Not a comment on this or you Deathrey more of a general comment, but I do think people saying "God I hope it's so and so" is a bit rank.

I get people don't like people, and there's plenty of people I dislike, but we shouldn't be hoping anyone is a wrongun to be honest.

100% agree, also with people randomly speculating who it could be. For an innocent party, that's incredibly damaging.

These and the "well they'll know what getting raped is all about now" gags I see are proper truck full of thick cunts in town behaviour. Yeah guys, hoping people get raped regardless of who they are is proper lols. Twats.

I remember Richard Osman saying that the guy from Baby Reindeer was a TV producer and he knew who it was as it's another one of those open secrets among the TV world.

I wonder if the Brand and Walliams downfall happening in such quick succession will start a bit of a Me Too-style movement within the comedy industry? There's plenty more TV comics (never mind TV in general) who's actions are open secrets (and possibly illegal). But then again some - as that article dethrey posted - already have injunctions, or they have legal teams who's be on your case faster than they can tie their durag up.

Well, it's not Mark Lewis Jones as he's from the village up the road, and it can't be Richard Gadd, as being surnamed Gadd would be too convenient.
