HarperCollins, a major publishing company, is removing all remaining copies of David Walliams’s older books from stores, e-books, and audio formats. This follows the publisher’s decision last year to stop releasing new works by Walliams, a well-known children’s author and comedian. The move comes after allegations were made against Walliams regarding inappropriate behavior toward young women. Walliams has denied these allegations and said he was not informed about any internal investigation conducted by HarperCollins. The publisher had previously stated that it ended its relationship with Walliams due to reports of inappropriate behavior. At the time, Walliams maintained his innocence and claimed he was unaware of any investigation. Now, according to the trade publication The Bookseller, HarperCollins is working to remove existing stock of Walliams’s books from bookstores and online platforms. This process will happen gradually over time. The decision affects all formats of Walliams’s books, including print, e-book, and audio versions. While the publisher has not provided specific details about the timeline for the phase-out, it has confirmed that the removal of Walliams’s backlist is now underway. This move reflects the publisher’s continued response to the allegations, even though Walliams has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The situation highlights the impact of such allegations on a public figure’s career and the decisions made by publishers in response. While Walliams has not commented on the phase-out directly, the removal of his books signals a significant shift in how his work is distributed and accessed by readers.
