Seven’s Craig McLachlan documentary came fourth overall with 720,000 viewers according to OzTAM, amid fresh allegations against the actor.
The decision to air the documentary, called ‘Horror Show’ was controversial, garnering criticism on social media. ABC presenter Julia Zemiro tweeted, “do something else on a Sunday night. get together with friends. Cook a great meal. Watch a movie.”
McLachlan was found not-guilty of sexual assault after being accused by four women.
However, new court documents show three more female actors accusing McLachlan of sexual assault. A fellow male actor has accused him of bullying and intimidation.
The allegations came to light on the night of the documentary.
McLachlan is suing the ABC, Fairfax, and an actress for defamation.
