Craig McLachlan

But for the leading man, it's not okay.

But hang on a minute.

No complaints were ever made.

Never made.

There was never a single formal complaint about accidentally touching someone somewhere that they didn't like or whatever.

And there's this whole myth that, well, they only didn't complain because I was so powerful.

So I'm so powerful that you stick your finger up my buttocks before I go on stage.

I'm so powerful that you try and pull my pants down in front of the cast and crew.

I'm so powerful with the power of your future in my hand that you give me wedges on...

This is the stuff that was never reported.

Moreover, it was stuff that these friends never offered up in their interviews.

Quite the opposite.

One of them even happy to let the press think I was the big bully on Rocky Horror Show, at least for that week in Melbourne, however long it was.

She never told the journalists that, in fact, I was never the bully in the show.

She was bullied relentlessly by...

It's pretty telling, isn't it, that either they auditioned of their own volition, went along to the auditions, or they had their representatives reach out to the production company and say, hey, we'd be really interested in whatever.

none of them get the roles and let's be clear that's not on me and again everything you look in retrospect post january the 8th you look back and you go so you're saying you you've only come forward now because you want to protect the new cast well no one spoke up at the time no one and you're still coming into my dressing room at night and cracking gags right up until the last performance

Some of you come back and do 2015.

One girl in particular would only come back if she was given a principal role.

Well, she wasn't good enough.
