Jackie O Henderson Sues KIIS for $82M

0:00On April 8th, Jackie O'Henderson is taking ARN media to federal court over the end of her $100 million contract with KIS-106.5. The radio giant fired her after a heated on-air clash with co-host Kyle Sandelands on February 20th, where he ripped into her love for astrology, calling it a fixation that made her tough to work with. She's claiming at least $82.25 million and left over pay. This drama builds on earlier blows between them, starting August 20th when Sandelands mocked her astrology talk as Psycho Babel, and again. September 10th off-air, which she says got censored. Henderson texted station bosses right after, demanding respect and better boundaries, but things boiled over for good that February blow out. Listeners and fans caught wind of the tension as Henderson walked out in tears, texting execs the next day about Sandelands unprovoked attacks. The duo had ruled Sydney Airwaves since 2004, first on 2-day FM, then K-I-I-S, but their partnership crumbled over these personal digs, hitting her career hard after years of big success.

1:11Court papers now reveal ARN twisted her February 26th complaint. She said she couldn't work with Kyle, but wanted another show into a full resignation. Five days later, they announced to shareholders she quit and turned down options, which she calls misleading and a breach of fair work laws. Henderson's pushing for penalties, interest, and costs, arguing the firing punished her push for a safe workplace. With Sandelands suing ARN separately, this radial empire showdown keeps unfolding in court. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
