And so the producers and the director kept her on.

If ever there was a sliding doors moment, this was it.

During the tour, C1 and Craig had a very close and friendly relationship, both in and out of the theatre.

C1 would include Craig in her social media posts, and even though I knew her from previous work engagements, and as I mentioned, I was great friends with her husband...

Our relationship became close due to the fact I was on the tour and had spent an inordinate amount of time in the theatre dressing rooms with both her and Craig.

In fact, there wasn't a day that I was in the theatre that she didn't come into Craig's dressing room to say hi, chat and just hang out.

The only times I didn't see her was when she took shows off for a back injury.

The friendships between Craig, C1 and I is evidenced in the dozens of text messages shared over the four-year period leading up to the allegations of 2018.

But this is not to say that there were not moments of difficulties along the way.

During the run of the show, C1 had an existing back injury flare-up.

It is documented that this started in Brisbane, the first city of the tour, and by the time she got to Melbourne,

She barely performed, taking more than half of the performances off during that season.

Not performing in 49 of the 96 shows that ran.

During this time, her behaviour became erratic and she displayed aggressive behaviour towards her female colleagues and the female management and creative team of the production.

But, as Craig promised, even in moments of frustration and concern regarding her demeanour, he continued to support her in an attempt to get her through the tour.

After the show ended in July of 2014, the three of us continued to share messages of love and friendship.

On July 30th, 2014, two weeks after the Rocky Horror Show tour ended, these messages were exchanged between Craig and C1.

Then, a month later in August of 2014, after Craig won a Helpman Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role as Frank, there was this.

So why did C1 think the whole company was turning on her?

What did she believe had been said about her?
