Jackie \u2018O\u2019 Henderson has broken her silence after the high-profile split from the long-time radio show<\/a> with Kyle Sandilands following a heated on-air clash between the co-hosts.<\/p>\n

She wanted to make one \u201cimportant point very clear\u201d after days of \u201cspeculation and misinformation\u201d over the split after 20 years of co-hosting the popular show: \u201cI did not quit or resign\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply saddened by the events of the past week and the possibility of the show ending,\u201d her statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has come as a shock to me, as it has to everyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current media narrative does not reflect what actually occurred, and it has been truly heartbreaking to see how this has unfolded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Henderson said she cannot comment further as it is being addressed through \u201cappropriate legal channels\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to everyone who has sent kind messages of support during what has been an incredibly challenging time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Sandilands and Henderson\u2019s two decades long radio partnership came crashing down after an on-air argument on February 20.<\/p>\n

The confrontation began after Henderson read through Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor\u2019s astrology chart in response to news of his arrest. Sandilands criticised her \u201cfixation\u201d on astrology, saying it was affecting other parts of the show and claiming colleagues had raised concerns.<\/p>\n

The discussion turned personal, with Sandilands accusing Henderson of being \u201coff with the fairies\u201d and \u201calmost unworkable\u201d, while Henderson defended herself and said his comments were \u201cunfair\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was revealed on Tuesday that Henderson had quit the show on KIIS FM after she told executives she \u201ccannot continue to work with Kyle Sandilands\u201d following the spat.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs Henderson will cease to present the Kyle and Jackie O show,\u201c KIIS\u2019s parent company ARN announced late Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Sandilands has been suspended after being accused of serious misconduct and given 14 days to address workplace behaviour issues or face contract termination.<\/p>\n

Henderson has reportedly been offered her own show in a different time slot<\/a> within the network.<\/p>\n

Sandilands is reportedly considering legal action against the Australian Radio Network<\/a> after he was accused of serious misconduct, with lawyers claiming the network has no substantial grounds to terminate his employment.<\/p>\n
