That it was more the offstage stuff, the fact people were talking about her.
Are these reasons enough to bring a man to his knees?
To thoroughly decimate a person's life and livelihood?
And finally...
How could C1's initial interview that clearly stated, I didn't know it was harassment, it wasn't the onstage stuff that worried me, be described years later as her feeling humiliated and devastated for these are the very words that were used in the courtroom to describe her assault in the bed scene?
Why has no one ever reported these changes of story?
I'll leave you to decide.
My name is Vanessa Scammell and thank you for listening to me too.
Please join me for episode nine when I dissect some of the most controversial rulings of the magistrate and bring the gavel down on her honour's final commentary and rulings.
They are encouraged to go on some sort of crusade.
Hello, my name is Vanessa Scammell and in this episode I will concentrate on the criminal charges that were laid against Craig McLachlan by the Victorian Police in relation to the cast member who will be known as C1, Craig's former castmate and friend from the 2014 Rocky Horror Show.
From the moment allegations were made by this particular person, our lives changed forever.
For the past eight years, I have continued to witness this person be interviewed about Craig and I have watched in horror as her stories have been perpetuated over and over again in the media,
online and throughout the industry.
I have witnessed her post damaging comments, abusive tweets, even messages of outrage that Channel 7 had contracted Craig in the award-winning series SAS Australia.
For how dare a man who was found not guilty be allowed to go back to work?
I have witnessed statement after statement about how she wants to be able to move forward, that she wants to forgive, that to forgive is an Australian thing, but nothing about her actions point to any such attempt.
This episode is perhaps the most important of the series, for it will reveal the truth and facts behind what did and didn't happen in the Rocky Horror Show of 2014.
Craig and C1 first met and worked with each other over 20 years ago, when in 2005, they were both cast in a production of Grease the Arena Spectacular, a show produced by John Frost, who also happened to be the producer of the 2014 Rocky Horror Show.
Craig starred in the lead role as Danny Zuko, and C1 was a member of the chorus.
