@xantoxis the first guy is a British entertainer named Jimmy Saville. There were rumours about him for years but he was very litigious.

After his death it was found that he had sexually assaulted or raped at least 400 people, including children, boys, women, and old people. It was also found he probably assaulted corpses in a hospital morgue.

Although far less prolific Russell Brand is also a British entertainer, again there were rumours about him assaulting or raping people for many years but again people were scared of litigation. British defamation laws are very strict.

The implication is that Ricky Gervais has more in common with the other two than just being a British entertainer.
