Caroline Wilson the latest
Anything aimed at Wilson would be just âlocker roomâ talk and âbanterâ, nothing for her to worry about. Thatâs what Eddie McGuire would say.

Unbelievable.
She told ABC RN that at the Logies many years ago, she told Don Burke if he minded her turning her back to look up front and he asked if he could lick her back.
Yuck, filthy guy.
Yes, perhaps locker room intended and Caro (sheâs tough) said she just found it really creepy and weird and moved on. But still.
Richard Glover had heard sexual allegations about Don Burke in 1991 but he didnât have enough evidence to publish, though he did write about Burkeâs overinflated ego, bullying, arrogance and lying. Burke threatened to sue, but never did.

How widespread has this been?
They have to be seen as being proactive, especially since the allegations against Don Burke started over 20 years ago and he was allowed to stay on air despite so many people saying he was a horrible person.

The Daily Telegraph copping a lot of abuse for running a front page story on Geoffrey Rush based on an allegation made by one woman who worked on his most recent theatre production. He says that he hasnât even been made aware of what the allegation is.
I just tried accessing the story online and got this error message:
{âmessageâ:âContent is deleted, expired or legal killedâ,âcodeâ:410}
I wonder if they are pulling it down now?
Me thinks Mr Rushâs lawyers spammed News Corpâs legal department with threats of defamation.
I see theyâve changed the story now.
Theyâve moved away from featuring large headlines and photos dominating a big part of the website:
Geoffrey Rush accused of inappropriate behaviour during Sydney Theatre Companyâs King Lear
Theyâve also rewritten the story and and changed the headline to:
Rush denies allegation of âinappropriate behaviourâ
This front page condemns Rush. I think we can except legal action from him

If this found to be untrue, it could make Rebel Wilsonâs defamation look like loose change.

If it is true that 200 people have come forward just about Don Burke then who knows how widespread this is

Jonathan Moran has retweeted his front page story a few times this morning. Rush responds.
That front page is disgraceful! I agree that if heâs proven to be innocent then his defamation payout will be enormous.
I think itâs time to get rid of the âpunâ writers at the papers. More and more theyâre coming up with ridiculous heading that are often different to the actual story. This heading is a shocker and should never have been approved.

It may be a hard line to give voice to those who havenât, while not undermining efforts by publishing non credible claims.
hmmm
explains a lot

Geoffrey Rush is claiming he doesnât know who has made the allegations against him or what they are, but News Corp claims that the chief executive of the STC had a discussion with Rush three weeks ago and that he was told the identity of the woman. That claim by News Corp is odd though as the STC stated the woman doesnât want Rush to know who she is, so why would the CEO go against her wishes and tell Rush. Thereâs misinformation from someone here. This wonât go away anytime soon.
