David Walliams, a bestselling British children’s author, was dropped by HarperCollins UK on Friday after the Daily Telegraph reported the publisher had investigated claims he had harassed some of its junior female employees.
A spokesperson for Walliams, who has sold more than 60 million books translated into 55 languages, told the BBC he strongly denied behaving inappropriately and that HarperCollins had never informed him of the allegations.
