Jonathan Ross has said he was “genuinely unaware of their conduct” after the recent allegations against David Walliams and the conviction of Russell Brand, describing his reaction as one of horror.
In a brief statement, the TV presenter recalled that he had once been friendly with both Walliams and Brand, but that he had no knowledge of the behaviour that has now come to light.
“I was once friendly with both David Walliams and Russell Brand, but I was genuinely unaware of their conduct,” Ross said.
The allegations against Walliams have attracted widespread media attention, while Brand’s conviction has been reported across the industry. Ross’s comments come amid a broader push for accountability in entertainment.
He has not issued any further remarks on the matter.
