David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.
Acclaimed children's author and entertainer David Walliams has been dropped by his UK book publisher, as confirmed by the firm.
A spokesman for the firm said: "Following a thorough review, and under the leadership of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK will not be releasing future works by David Walliams."
Media sources suggest that the conclusion was reached following an review of allegations of inappropriate behaviour involving female individuals.
The publisher declined to specify the motivations for this action, noting: "We do not comment on private personnel issues."
An Illustrious Publishing History
Walliams ranks among Britain's most best-selling authors for kids, having sold over six tens of millions of copies internationally in dozens of tongues.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Several of his titles, for example *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into small-screen adaptations.
To date, he has released more than 40 books in total, including a Christmas book named *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins this past October.
From Screen to Page
He first rose to fame on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has been honored with National Television Awards for his duties as an arbiter on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE back in 2017 in recognition of his work for philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss in October.
