Taylor Auerbach, a former producer on Seven’s Spotlight program, has sent a concerns notice, the first step in defamation proceedings, to Bruce Lerhmann.
Bruce Lehrmann’s denial about his involvement in a drunken night at the apartment of a former Channel Seven producer with two Thai masseuses has sparked a defamation threat against the former Liberal staffer.
Last week, news.com.au’s Samantha Maiden, while not naming Auerbach, reported that “two Thai masseuses were booked – one for Mr Lehrmann and another for a Seven employee” in the early hours of Saturday, November 26, 2022.At the time, Seven was trying to secure an exclusive interview with Lehrmann, whose criminal trial for the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins had collapsed due to juror misconduct. Lehrmann has always maintained his innocence.
“It’s an untrue and bizarre story from a disgruntled ex-Network Seven producer,” Lehrmann told News Corp. “Network Seven only ever covered reasonable travel for filming and accommodation.” Lehrmann’s claim that Seven only ever covered reasonable travel for filming and accommodation may come under further scrutiny.that the network “really wanted that story” and paid thousands of dollars for flights, food and accommodation for Lehrmann, including later sending Auerbach to Tasmania for an expensive golf weekend with Lehrmann, a keen golfer.
