Sandilands & Henderson Face Millions in Countersuit

0:00On April 23rd, Kyle Sandelands and Jackie O'Henderson are facing a massive counter-suit from their old bosses at KIISFM that could hit them for millions. The Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation claims the duo breached their $200 million, 10-year contracts, costing the station big in ad, revenue and profits. Now they're demanding repayment plus legal fees. Earlier this week, court docs dropped detailing how the pair allegedly tanked the breakfast show's earnings. That includes quang back nearly $2.6 million from a $3 million signing bonus tied to Sandelands company. It's all part of a fierce defense against the star's own unfair dismissal suits, where they're chasing $85 million and $82 million. Respectively, tensions boiled over months before their famous on-air meltdown last February. Back in September, an off-air blow-up at the Sydney Studios exposed cracks in their 20-year partnership, with accusations flying about carrying the show end workplace drama.

1:03The fallout turned their hit program upside down. New filings paint Sandelands as the source of a toxic environment, accusing him of bullying and harassment that breached company policies on safety, and respect. They say erect his co-host dynamic with Henderson, who wouldn't return without changes. CBC argues her walkout broke her deal, too, since she was hired specifically to pair with him. This legal battle is just heating up in federal court, with both sides digging in deep. Expect more fireworks as these radio giants slug it out over contracts and reputations.
