Media Insider Denies Kyle & Jackie O Return
10 Mar
Summary
- Claims of Kyle and Jackie O reuniting on air are dismissed.
- Jackie O's contract termination confirmed by official statement.
- Radio network statement to stock exchange cited as evidence.
Claims suggesting a potential on-air reunion for Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson have been vehemently denied by entertainment reporter Peter Ford. Speaking on Tuesday, Ford stated there is "no hope in hell" of the duo returning to their KIIS FM breakfast show together.
Ford pointed to a statement released by the Australian Radio Network (ARN) to the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) on Tuesday, March 3, as definitive proof. This statement explicitly mentioned the "termination" of Henderson's contract, not just a potential consideration.
While a professional reunion appears improbable, Ford expressed hope that Sandilands and Henderson could mend their personal friendship. He also speculated that Henderson might be experiencing significant regrets about her departure from her $100 million contract, suggesting she felt she had "walked into a trap."
Henderson herself issued a statement via her manager late on Friday afternoon, clarifying that she did not quit or resign. She expressed sadness over the events and stated that the "current media narrative does not reflect what actually occurred."
Meanwhile, ARN confirmed Henderson's $100 million contract termination after she informed executives she could no longer work with Sandilands following his on-air comments that left her in tears. Sandilands has been suspended and given 14 days to remedy the breach.
