The exact moment Kyle Sandilands<\/a>\u2032 career began to implode and his KIIS FM contract crumbled was caught on camera \u2013 and now, he\u2019s released it to the public.<\/p>\n

The shock jock, 55, premiered the first of his four-part docuseries At Home With Kyle Sandilands<\/a> on Monday, with app subscribers seeing the lead-up to the catastrophic demise of The Kyle and Jackie O Show<\/a> and the text that started it all. <\/p>\n

Kyle Sandilands has detailed the exact moment he realised his career on KIIS FM might soon be over.\u00a0Instagram\/@kylesandilandslive<\/p>\n

The show followed days of uncertainty after his February 20 row with co-host Jackie \u201cO\u201d Henderson \u2013 documented by his manager, Bruno Bouchet<\/a> \u2013 with Sandilands claiming he had no idea his contract was ever under question.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in bed in the afternoon, having an afternoon nap, watching TV and Bruno texted and said they\u2019re trying to cancel the contract,\u201d he recalled. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn my mind, I thought, \u2018Whose contract?\u2019 I didn\u2019t think mine, I thought maybe they\u2019re trying to cancel Jackie\u2019s as she\u2019d taken time off and didn\u2019t want to come back and extended it. I said, \u2018Whose contract?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m waiting there like a nervous girl waiting for a text like a guy, waiting, waiting, waiting … and he texts back, \u2018Yours\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

His face dropped as he recalled: \u201cI thought, \u2018What the f— is going on here? This is an ironclad, 70-page bible that was impenetrable.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandilands said he feared for his employees, his family members\u2019 medical situations and the $20 million worth of mortgages he had, which would all have been taken care of had the 10-year contracted radio plan panned out. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat just … detonated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The series followed Sandilands as he appeared on Australian Idol, awaiting to hear news on whether he could return to air.<\/p>\n

Sandilands and Henderson haven\u2019t appeared on air since February 20. \u00a0Instagram\/@jaimeeblazquez<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring all of this and the press and Idol, all I\u2019m thinking is, \u2018Am I going to get that call?\u2019 I\u2019m back on air, or I\u2019m fired. One or the other. What\u2019s it going to be?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bet everything on going back on air. Then the phone rang, and all of a sudden it was time to find out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The camera then flashed to a recording of a visibly upset Sandilands discovering the news \u2013 that the show was done, and his contract terminated. He teased more was to follow during the next episode.<\/p>\n

Also in the docuseries, Sandilands spent time reflecting on his relationship with Henderson after the row between the two, which ultimately led to the end of their 27-year professional partnership. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll always love and respect her like a sister … I\u2019ll never say anything bad about Jackie, and I will always love her, and I\u2019ve told her this,\u201d Sandilands said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve texted her and told her no matter what, you and I are good.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will talk one day. Whether I\u2019ll really understand what happened or not I don\u2019t know; I don\u2019t even really care whether I do or not. I did at one stage, and I\u2019ve shut that down.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first time Sandilands has shared content with fans via his new app, with all four episodes being released in the days ahead of his new morning breakfast show which will air live on weekdays for his subscribers from August 10.<\/p>\n

Sandilands eventually settled with his previous employer ARN<\/a> for $12 million over the termination of his $100 million contract.<\/p>\n

As part of the settlement, ARN will provide Sandilands with \u201cadvertising services on ARN\u2019s partner platforms\u201d, worth $1.5 million over the next three years.<\/p>\n

Henderson also\u00a0launched a lawsuit against her former employer claiming compensation of at least $82.25 million<\/a>\u00a0and alleging that her termination was against the Fair Work Act.<\/p>\n

It was revealed she will still proceed with the lawsuit, despite her former co-host settling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The exact moment Kyle Sandilands\u2032 career began to implode and his KIIS FM contract crumbled was caught on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":826910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,134],"class_list":["post-826909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826909","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=826909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/826909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/826910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=826909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=826909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=826909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
