Lara Stone Reportedly Contacted Woman Who Met Walliams as a Teen

The woman told the Daily Mail that Walliams contacted her on social media after she attended a Britain’s Got Talent recording in February 2015. She said he later invited her to a dressing room, other recordings and a performance of his stage production Gangsta Granny, and offered her work experience. In February 2016, when she was 18, she and a friend visited his north London home in Belsize Park.

According to her account, Walliams cooked pasta, took the visitors sightseeing and brought them to a luxury hotel spa. She said he was physically affectionate and suggested kissing her friend. The Daily Mail reported that all involved agreed nothing sexual happened during the visit. The woman later posted about her experiences and questioned Walliams’ interactions with teenage fans.

Journalist Katie Hind said she had seen Stone’s private messages to the woman. The woman said Stone praised her for speaking publicly and hoped she had support. “I really, really appreciated Lara reaching out,” she told the newspaper. Grievson reportedly contacted one of the woman’s friends, expressing concern and offering encouragement. Hind reported that he suggested Stone had faced difficulties during her marriage and divorce. The report did not specify what additional information the couple may have heard.

The woman also said Walliams’ lawyers had warned her against discussing their interactions publicly. The report said the correspondence came from law firm Schillings, several years before her 2020 posts. Stone and Walliams married in 2010, had a son, Alfred, in 2013 and separated in 2015; their divorce was finalized that year.

The Daily Mail report follows an ITV News and Guardian investigation into allegations by several women who said they encountered Walliams as teenagers. He has denied allegations of grooming, sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior. “I am not a sexual predator,” he said in a statement reported by ITV News, adding that he had not broken the law or used his fame to coerce or manipulate women.
