Jackie “O” Henderson has denied quitting the hit KIIS FM radio show she hosted with Kyle Sandilands, saying she was left in “shock” by the news.<\/p>\n

“Over the past few days, there has been a lot of speculation and misinformation about my departure on the show,” she said in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

“I want to make one important point very clear: I did not quit or resign.”<\/p>\n

Henderson said she was “deeply saddened” by the events of the past week and the “possibility of the show ending”.<\/p>\n

“This has come as a shock to me, as it has to everyone else,” she said.<\/p>\n

It was reported earlier this week that Jackie O had quit Australia’s highest-paying radio show.<\/p>\n

Sandilands has been suspended following an explosive tirade during a live broadcast.<\/p>\n

‘Truly heartbreaking to see how this has unfolded’<\/p>\n

In her statement, Henderson said the “current media narrative does not reflect what actually occurred, and it has been truly heartbreaking to see how this has unfolded”.<\/p>\n

“At this stage, I am unable to say anything further, as I am addressing this through the appropriate legal avenues.”<\/p>\n

Henderson had not co-hosted KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O Show since being berated by Sandilands on February 20 as “being off with the fairies<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

During the episode, Sandilands criticised Henderson for her fixation on horoscopes while discussing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, claiming they made her “almost unworkable”.<\/p>\n

In an ASX announcement on Tuesday, ARN Media, the owner of KIIS FM, said Henderson “has given notice she cannot continue to work with Mr Sandilands”.<\/p>\n

“Ms Henderson will cease to present the Kyle and Jackie O Show,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

ARN said the Kyle and Jackie O Show would be taken off-air “effective immediately”.<\/p>\n

The network has also issued a written notice to Sandilands, stating it considered his conduct “an act of serious misconduct”, which was in breach of his contract.<\/p>\n

Sandilands will stay off-air and has been given 14 days to “remedy this breach” or “cease to present” the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jackie “O” Henderson has denied quitting the hit KIIS FM radio show she hosted with Kyle Sandilands, saying…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":515609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[33024,64,63,30256,99,164,134,128671,72253,72255,53493,1195,670,33026,16903],"class_list":["post-522169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-arn","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-broadcast","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-entertainment","tag-jackie-o","tag-jackie-o-henderson","tag-kyle-and-jackie-o","tag-kyle-sandilands","tag-radio","tag-sydney","tag-sydney-radio","tag-the-kyle-and-jackie-o-show"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
