Former Spotlight producer Taylor Auerbach was motivated by “hate” for a former colleague when he leaked details about the Seven Network’s dealings with Bruce Lehrmann to the press, Seven has alleged in court documents.
The claim forms part of Seven’s defence of a lawsuit brought by Auerbach, its former employee, in March. The journalist, who was a late witness in the Lehrmann defamation trial in March 2024, claims the network’s public statements about him outside the court last year led to him being vilified and shunned.
