Overview
- Kyle Sandilands has retained barristers Philip Boncardo and Scott Robertson SC, a spokesperson confirmed to the Sydney Morning Herald.
- ARN suspended Sandilands over an alleged act of serious misconduct and gave him 14 days to remedy the situation, with the window closing on March 17.
- To satisfy the remediation, Sandilands would need to persuade Jackie O Henderson to return to their KIIS FM show, according to reporting on ARN’s position.
- Multiple outlets report Henderson is weighing legal action alleging wrongful termination and misleading market disclosures, after she publicly stated she did not resign.
- ARN maintains it terminated Henderson’s long-term contract after being told she could no longer work with Sandilands, as Sandilands is slated to appear on live Australian Idol broadcasts beginning Sunday and again on Tuesday after the deadline.
