Craig McLachlan's legal team has accused the ABC and Fairfax Media of launching a "double-pronged attack" against the Australian actor, as the jury trial in his defamation case began in a Sydney court today.
The 56-year-old sat quietly in the NSW Supreme Court on Monday as his barrister Kieran Smark SC outlined the plaintiff's case."It's a case about a double-pronged attack made on him by two powerful media organisations." It included photos of the actor and his former colleague, Christie Whelan Browne, taken during the production of Grease in 2005, one of which Mr Smark said "simulated sex".The jury was also shown a picture of Whelan Browne, which Mr Smark said showed her in "a state of undress", noting "that's just the way the show was".
"He will give evidence about the extent to which that [blooper reel] did or didn't represent the sort of camaraderie that was enjoyed over the five seasons by the cast and crew of that show," Mr Smark told the court.
