Bruce Lehrmann discussed payment of about $200,000 for his participation in an exclusive interview with Seven’s Spotlight program and was reimbursed by the network for money spent on cocaine and sex workers, which were euphemistically invoiced as “pre-production expenses”, a court has heard.
Former Seven producer Taylor Auerbach also told the federal court how he built a rapport with Lehrmann over several months in order to secure an exclusive interview, claiming that Lehrmann “appreciated the fact that I wasn’t sitting with the rest of the feminazis in the press pack”.
