Overview
- Federal Court documents released Wednesday show Jackie “O” Henderson raised concerns as early as August 2025, telling ARN leaders the dynamic felt like an “abusive relationship” after Kyle Sandilands made on‑air remarks including a reference to her “period time.”
- Henderson seeks at least $82.25 million, alleging ARN tore up her contract after she said she could not work with Sandilands and claiming the company failed to protect her under workplace safety rules.
- Her filing also alleges ARN misled the market in its March 3 ASX notice about her termination, adding a consumer law claim to the employment dispute.
- ARN has said it will contest both presenters’ cases and previously told the ASX that Henderson lodged psychosocial health and bullying complaints and indicated she could no longer work with Sandilands.
- Kyle Sandilands has a separate Federal Court claim arguing his February 20 tirade fit the show’s established style, while combined payouts sought by the pair exceed ARN’s market value and Henderson’s case is listed for its first case management hearing on April 24.
