Kyle Sandilands delivered a pointed message to ARN Media and revealed limited recent contact with Jackie O Henderson as he arrived for the first hearing in his legal battle against his former employer. The case stems from the termination of The Kyle and Jackie O Show and has impacted ARN's share price.
'Not real': Kyle Sandilands sends brutal six-word message to ARN outside court - as he reveals last time he spoke to Jackie 'O' Henderson Kyle Sandilands has shared a savage message to ARN Media as he arrived to court on Friday - while also opening up on the last time he spoke to Jackie O. Kyle Sandilands has taken a swipe at ARN Media as he arrived at the Federal Court for the first hearing against his former employer.
The shock jock arrived in a black Rolls-Royce as he and former co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson have their first hearing in their cases against the broadcaster. Speaking to SkyNews.com.au and other press outside the Sydney court, Sandilands described the hearing as a"procedural day" and there would"no fun today". When asked if he had spoken to Henderson, he said:"I don't think we'll see anyone except me today," before later clarifying:"I haven't spoken to Jackie, I haven't spoken to her people.
"Sharing a brutal message to ARN, the shock jock ordered the broadcaster to"put me back on radio". ARN's share price is down 11.4 per cent since March 2, when the broadcaster suspended Sandilands and terminated Henderson's contract, and the value of the company is down almost $12 million to $93.92 million.
Both Sandilands and Henderson are suing Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation , a subsidiary of ARN Media that runs KIIS FM, for unlawful termination, following an on-air bust-up that saw The Kyle and Jackie O Show come to an end. When asked about his former employer's counter claim, Sandilands said:"Look there's strategy and then there's real, and there's not real. I'm just happy to get into the court, get the truth out.
Looking forward to returning to the airwaves, Sandilands said:"I can work with anyone, it's the media business - one day you hate someone, the next day they're your best friend.
" The shock jock asserted he wasn't"nervous" as he headed into court and branded the legal battle"pretty ugly". Sandilands and Henderson's partnership came to an explosive end in February, following an on-air row, in which the shock jock accused his co-host of not being focused at work. Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson's partnership came to an explosive end earlier this year, following an on-air spat.
Picture: KIIS FM ARN released a statement announcing Henderson's departure from the airwaves and Sandilands was suspended over"serious misconduct". In the weeks that followed, Henderson hit back at her former employer, denying she had quit radio while Sandilands repeatedly asserted he was ready to return to work.
When ARN terminated Sandilands' contract, two weeks after their initial statement, the shock jock almost immediately launched legal action against the network.seeking at least $82 million in compensationThe lawsuit, filed in the Federal Court last month, alleges the termination of Henderson's $100 million contract “constituted adverse action”. ARN has filed a counter claim against the duo for lost revenue due to their abrupt departure from the network.
