Thank you for bring this to us. I shudder to think this could be anyone’s son,brother , partner. Many involved should be held accountable. I’m spreading the word about this factual account of absolute lies and biases.
I have finally finished all and feel I have a very good understanding of the case now. It’s horrifying that this has taken your wonderful career away. I truly hope that when the dust settles and this podcast reaches many more ears that you get the justice you deserve by having your career resurrected. I will come to or buy anything you are offering. I love your shrub o’clock. And your wife… gold star choice there Craig ❤️ all the very best to you both
Wow! Vanessa is articulate and meticulous - what an amazing lady. It is shocking that Craig has been subjected to this ordeal. The accusers are insecure, pathetic women and have only made it harder for women to report real abuse. The Magistrate is a disgrace and the Police investigation was pitiful. I hope the future brings great health, happiness and wealth to Craig and Vanessa.
I’m so sorry that this happened to you.Trial by social
media. I’m embarrassed for the court to have proceeded with such a farce.
I hope someone pays for the irreparable damage caused to you.
Just want to say , I thought you were brilliant in Rocky Horror .You literally owned that stage .
And the fishnets!
This entire fiasco was a result of petty jealousy, mixed with over-entitlement and no regard for possible consequences #whataboutme?
Shine on superstar .✨ 😁

Certain people with a sense of entitlement, didn’t get to the status they felt they deserved. They then allowed paranoia, hearsay, jealousy and the sudden formation of the me-too movement to invent a story to fit their narrative which was to destroy an innocent persons reputation and in turn their life. From listening to all the evidence it seems At least one of the accu... more

The show centers on high-profile theatre and legal cases, analyzing timelines, backstage dynamics, media narratives, and court records to understand how public perception interacts with due process. Across episodes, hosts and guests scrutinize witness credibility, press practices, and the long-term impact on careers and personal lives, often challenging “page one guilt” and offering context-leaning perspectives. A notable strength is the calm, evidence-based approach combined with deep industry context, making it a potentially valuable listen for audiences interested in true-crime, media responsibility, and theatre culture, especially in cases where public judgment precedes verdicts.
