The children's author David Walliams dropped by publishing house.
Acclaimed young adult author and comedian David Walliams is no longer with his longtime publishing house, according to an announcement.
A representative for the firm commented: "Upon deliberation, and following the appointment of its new CEO, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing additional books by David Walliams."
It has been reported that the move was made after an investigation into reports of questionable actions towards young women.
The company did not confirm the reasons for its decision, adding: "We do not comment on confidential company decisions."
A Highly Successful Writing Journey
Walliams ranks among Britain's most successful children's authors, boasting over more than 60 million copies internationally in 55 languages.
The debut children's novel from Walliams, *The Boy in the Dress*, was released through HarperCollins back in 2008.
Several of his works, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have also been adapted into small-screen adaptations.
He has published more than 40 books in total, including a holiday title named *Santa & Son*, which came out under HarperCollins this past October.
A Dual Career
His career breakthrough occurred on the television comedy show *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was made an OBE back in 2017 for his services to philanthropic and artistic endeavors.
This move occurs subsequent to the appointment of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's freshly installed boss this past October.
