In Episode 5 of Unfiltered, Michael Cain continues his conversation with Craig McLachlan, examining the charges and allegations made against him by a cast member of the 2014 Rocky Horror Show, referred to as C2. Vanessa delves into the criminal charge of attempted indecent assault, in which C2 claimed that on the final night of the tour, Craig allegedly knelt onstage in the middle of a song and attempted to kiss her. She stated that she then pushed him over in front of a full house of Rocky Horror fans and fellow cast members. Michael asks Craig to respond to this charge which was eventually thrown out of court, as well as further disturbing and serious allegations made by the same cast member. Vanessa invites listeners to consider whether the Magistrate’s description of C2 as “brave and honest” is appropriate, and questions whether the allegations, which were ultimately discredited in court, could be considered perjury. How can demonstrably false claims be dismissed without consequences? A must listen.
“Those doors would open every night revealing Frank N Furter and the audience would go nuts, and I just had to remind myself that the audience is going nuts for Frank N Furter they’re not going nuts for Craig McLachlan.” — C2
