I'm guessing Bruce has one of those personalities that irritates people without too much effort
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/mar/31/bruce-lehrmann-defamation-trial-network-ten-asks-to-re-open-its-defence-citing-fresh-evidenceLast week a former Spotlight producer, Taylor Auerbach, issueddefamation proceedingsagainst Lehrmann after the former Liberal staffer made statements to the press which implied the producer lied about what took place when Seven was courting Lehrmann for an interview.
It was reported last week that Spotlight had put almost$3,000 on a Seven credit cardto pay for Thai massages for Lehrmann and a producer.
“It’s an untrue and bizarre story from a disgruntled ex-Network Seven producer,” Lehrmann told News Corp last week. “Network Seven [has] only ever covered reasonable travel for filming and accommodation.”
Auerbach’s solicitor Rebekah Giles reportedly said in a concerns notice that Lehrmann’s comments about her client were false and conveyed a defamatory imputation.
Ten’s barrister, Matt Collins KC, is seeking “leave to re-open the First Respondent’s case for the purpose of adducing fresh evidence”, the application said.
