Jackie O sues ARN for $82M over unfair dismissal

Jackie 'O' Henderson has filed a lawsuit against ARN, her former employer, claiming damages of at least $82,250,000. The legal action, initiated on or around March 31, 2026, alleges that the termination of her contract constituted adverse action and a breach of the Fair Work Act. Henderson stated that her complaint to Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation, a subsidiary of ARN, cited concerns about psychosocial health and safety and bullying, linked to her former co-host Kyle Sandilands' behavior. She contends her dismissal was in retaliation for raising these issues.

Furthermore, Henderson claims ARN made misleading statements under the Australian Consumer Law when announcing her departure to the ASX. ARN has officially denied all of Henderson's allegations and has stated its intention to vigorously defend the case in court. This lawsuit follows a similar legal action filed by Kyle Sandilands against ARN on March 23, 2026, where he also disputes his contract termination.
