Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush has denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour during his run starring in the Sydney Theatre Company’s (STC) production of King Lear in 2015 and 2016, in a since-deleted report by the Daily Telegraph.
Rush vehemently denied the allegation in an initial statement issued by his law firm, HWL Ebsworth. “Mr. Rush has not been approached by the Sydney Theatre Company and the alleged complainant nor any representative of either of them concerning the matter you have raised,” the letter reportedly states.
Quoting the legal statement, the report claimed Rush said he had never been involved in any “inappropriate behaviour” and that his “regard, actions and treatment of all the people he has worked with has been impeccable beyond reproach."
