[b]Robert Hughes' alleged victim demanded $20,000 for interview: court[/b]

"Hughes' lawyer accused Mr Moriarty, who was previously aware of rumours about Hughes' behaviour on set, of trying to sensationalise the story to make it more sellable.

Mr Moriarty described his client in emails as "good talent" who would make for a "good story".

He told the court he was always "50/50" about publishing her allegations and they decided to keep it "generic" but it then snowballed and led to what he described as a media frenzy.

"I was concerned that the story could snowball and get out of hand because I was aware these rumours were widespread throughout our industry," he said.

He used this as a reason to negotiate higher fees, he said.

The woman then did two interviews with A Current Affair and other magazine stories, netting her more than $89,000 and her agent about $10,900, the court heard."
