## Jonathan Ross Addresses Past Friendships

In his remarks, Jonathan Ross acknowledged that he was once friendly with both Walliams
and Brand during their shared time in the entertainment industry. However, the presenter
emphasized that he remained entirely oblivious to their private actions and alleged
behavior.

Ross clarified that he was “genuinely unaware of their conduct,” stressing that 
their interactions did not provide any indication of wrongdoing or inappropriate
behavior behind the scenes.

## Reaction to Recent Allegations and Conviction

Expressing deep distress over the revelations, Ross described himself as horrified
by the matters that have come to light. The comedian and talk show host underscored

involving Brand.

condemnation of their actions and reasserts that he had no involvement or awareness
of their behavior during the time they were on friendly terms.
