Jackie ‘O’ Henderson breaks silence after radio split with Kyle Sandilands
She wanted to make ‘one important point very clear’ after days of misinformation.
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has broken her silence after the high-profile split from the long-time radio show with Kyle Sandilands following a heated on-air clash between the co-hosts.
She wanted to make one “important point very clear” after days of “speculation and misinformation” over the split after 20 years of co-hosting the popular show: “I did not quit or resign”.
“I am deeply saddened by the events of the past week and the possibility of the show ending,” her statement said.
“This has come as a shock to me, as it has to everyone else.
“The current media narrative does not reflect what actually occurred, and it has been truly heartbreaking to see how this has unfolded.”
Henderson said she cannot comment further as it is being addressed through “appropriate legal channels”.
“Thank you to everyone who has sent kind messages of support during what has been an incredibly challenging time,” she said.
Sandilands and Henderson’s two decades long radio partnership came crashing down after an on-air argument on February 20.
The confrontation began after Henderson read through Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s astrology chart in response to news of his arrest. Sandilands criticised her “fixation” on astrology, saying it was affecting other parts of the show and claiming colleagues had raised concerns.
The discussion turned personal, with Sandilands accusing Henderson of being “off with the fairies” and “almost unworkable”, while Henderson defended herself and said his comments were “unfair”.
It was revealed on Tuesday that Henderson had quit the show on KIIS FM after she told executives she “cannot continue to work with Kyle Sandilands” following the spat.
“Ms Henderson will cease to present the Kyle and Jackie O show,“ KIIS’s parent company ARN announced late Tuesday.
Sandilands has been suspended after being accused of serious misconduct and given 14 days to address workplace behaviour issues or face contract termination.
Henderson has reportedly been offered her own show in a different time slot within the network.
Sandilands is reportedly considering legal action against the Australian Radio Network after he was accused of serious misconduct, with lawyers claiming the network has no substantial grounds to terminate his employment.
