“In recent days, there’s been a whirlwind of rumors and false information surrounding my exit from the show,” Henderson stated this evening in an announcement issued by her manager, Gemma O’Neill.
“I need to make one thing absolutely clear: I did not quit or resign,” she emphasized.
“The past week has been deeply distressing, with the possibility of the show coming to an end being a shock to me as much as to everyone else,” she added.
“Witnessing how this situation has developed has been truly heartbreaking. At this moment, I can’t provide further details since I’m handling this through the proper legal channels,” she noted.
“I am grateful to everyone who has reached out with kind words of support during this incredibly tough period,” she expressed.
ARN Media, the parent company of KIIS FM, announced on Tuesday that “Ms Jacqueline Henderson has given notice that she ‘cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands”.
“Accordingly, ARN has terminated the services agreement with Henderson Media Pty Ltd, under which Ms Henderson presents the Kyle and Jackie O Show. Ms Henderson will cease to present the Kyle and Jackie O Show.”
ARN said Sandilands’ behaviour on the February 20 show – the final one the pair hosted together – was “an act of serious misconduct” and gave the shock jock 14 days to address it.
“If it is not remedied, ARN will terminate the services agreement with Quasar Media, and in that event Mr Sandilands will cease to present the Kyle and Jackie O Show,” ARN said.
“During the 14-day period, Mr Sandilands will not take part in the show. The KIIS breakfast show will be taken off-air effective immediately, with interim arrangements made for the show.”
Both Henderson and Sandilands have kept quiet this week.
