au contraire...

i reckon walliams' legal team sought an injunction primarily to prevent the guardian and itv news from publishing serious sexual misconduct allegations on the heels of the russell brand circus.

their legal argument centred on the risk to his life and mental health, rather than simply protecting his reputation.

strategically (the injunction, not the mental health angle that's another whole different can of worms) it's a smart move, because a delay to proceedings also brings about:

delays to publication for several months, effctively buying time for his legal team to build a stronger defence and work out how to discredit the potential claimants.

preserved his anonymity during the damaging brand court proceedings.

delays the reputational and commercial consequences of harmful publicity to team walliams' commercial cohorts.

to me, buying time was a clear practical benefit, they can prepare carefully worded public statements (they have), they could have briefed agents/publishers/commercial partners to avoid head on reputational panic damage and bailing out (that horse has bolted) as his agents and harper collins have dropped him.

using an injunction they can anticipate and deal with future revelations (too late for that methinks).

and plan to protect his career and reputation of in case the whole thing blows over. it won't.

the game is up for walliams' after last nights tv expose. best he can hope for is to avoid any criminal proceedings and f**k off and keep his cock in his pants. he won't.

money only talks so much
