The fresh allegations were published on Saturday, just before Channel Seven is due to air their 90-minute documentary ‘Spotlight:Horror Show ‘. In the documentary, airing Sunday night, Mr McLachlan is expected to talk about the private distress that was caused by the public humiliation of these allegations.
In excerpts published by The Australian, the 55-year-old reveals he attempted to take his own life following the sexual assault allegations in 2018.
The actor claims journalists tried to portray him as Australia’s answer to now-convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein amidst the height of the #MeToo movement.
“I thought I’d experienced some rock-bottom moments in my life, but nothing comes close to this,” he says.

Mr McLachlan’s partner, Vanessa Scammell, will also be interviewed in the documentary, talking about the impact the allegations have had on their lives.
“It is actually hard to articulate the horror of what’s happened to us. I can’t put into words every day, every night — I haven’t slept for three years. I still don’t sleep,” she says, according to The Australian.
Ms Scammell has also spoken with The Daily Telegraph ahead of the tell-all documentary, saying she “never had a shadow of a doubt about his innocence”.
“It remains unfathomable that your life can unravel in an instant with unsubstantiated allegations and headlines,” she added.
