Violence against women and girls in England and Wales has reached “epidemic levels,” UK police have warned, saying forces should prioritize their response to the issue in the same way as they do terrorism and organized crime.

⚠️ Comedian reads group chat messages warning about “a performer we’ve heard about before” on BBC Newsnight 😳
Victoria Derbyshire interviews comedian Kate Smurthwaite about the current situation in the industry following Russell Brand and David Walliams. Kate reads some group chat messages from other female comedians warning about other men in the industry.
Smurthwaite shares screenshots from these groups. One message describes a male comic as “beyond rude, shambolic… sooo creepy, avoid if you can.”
Another woman talks about another comedian she’s on a bill with, says she has already given the booker a heads-up, and isn’t trying to start a witch hunt – she just wants to be safe and protect the booker, who is probably unaware.
Kate then reads from another group chat about “a performer who we’ve heard about before who we as women in comedy tend to avoid” The message says this person is now booking under a different name. Someone else replies: “Shared a car with him a couple of months ago. Awful. I’ve warned promoters about him since then, but I’ve seen he still gets booked.”
Victoria asks whether this is the working environment in comedy. Smurthwaite says yes, but adds that she doesn’t think it’s unique to the industry – similar things happen to women in other jobs.
We need to be careful that this doesn’t slide into a witch hunt against every man who is rude, unpleasant, or difficult to be around but has done nothing illegal. The messages shown don’t accuse these unnamed comics of any criminal behaviour. They describe people who sounds like a poor colleague, rude, and someone people would rather avoid. Last time I checked, that isn’t against the law.
Yet those private messages have now been read out and shared on Britain’s biggest broadcaster, naming and discussing them (even if not by name) in front of a national audience. I’m not sure that’s the right way to handle this.
Unlike his old mate David Walliams, Simon Cowell's only vice is enjoying a nice all you can eat meal.
In fact every showbiz fan should search "Simon Cowell Buffet" for more info.
Brand was paraded around rehabs and recovery spaces — and given access to exceptionally vulnerable women — by people who have questions to answer. Glad things worked out for Jack's friend, but I've been questioning this access for years.
The woman who said Russell Brand couldn’t be a rapist because he didn’t rape her when they had sex is now sharing a “Free Russell Brand” petition that has been signed by 5,866 people.
Both Russell Brand and David Walliams were dogged with allegations for years, writes Victoria Richards – so why were they only acted upon once their careers were in freefall?
