The producers say Walliams’ cameo has been cut and he will have no role in the film’s release or promotion; the cast includes Taika Waititi, Mia Wasikowska and Iona Bell. Walliams denies wrongdoing and says he did not break the law. His lawyers denied one woman’s allegation of sexual contact, calling it false.
