David Walliams parted ways with publishing house.
Acclaimed children's author and entertainer David Walliams has been dropped by his publisher HarperCollins UK, as confirmed by the firm.
An official for the company said: "After careful consideration, and following the appointment of its recently appointed chief executive, HarperCollins UK has chosen to cease publishing any new titles by David Walliams."
Reports indicate that the decision was made after an inquiry regarding reports of conduct deemed unsuitable towards women.
The company has not elaborated on the motivations for this action, noting: "It is not our policy to discuss internal matters."
An Illustrious Publishing History
Walliams stands as a most prolific writers for young readers, with sales exceeding over six tens of millions of copies internationally in 55 languages.
His inaugural foray into kids' literature, *The Boy in the Dress*, came out under HarperCollins fifteen years ago.
Several of his books, including *Gangsta Granny* and *Billionaire Boy*, have subsequently been turned into television films.
He has published more than 40 books altogether, encompassing a holiday title called *Santa & Son*, which was published by HarperCollins in October.
Television and Literature
His career breakthrough occurred on the TV sketch series *Little Britain* and has additionally received National Television Awards for his role as a panelist on *Britain's Got Talent*.
He was awarded an OBE back in 2017 for his services to the charitable sector and arts community.
The publisher's decision comes after the naming of Kate Elton as HarperCollins UK's new chief executive last fall.
