Crisis at Jackie Os Mansion: Radio Show in Turmoil

Queen of the airwaves is in crisis talks with her most trusted advisors at her clifftop mansion, just hours after blowing up her record-breaking $100million contract with KIIS FM.

Henderson pulled the pin on her decades-long radio career this week after she was berated on live radio by broadcast partner , who said her 'fixation' on astrology was impacting her work.

She told Sandilands she was deeply offended, before she ran out of the studio in tears and never returned to the high-profile breakfast show.

Her departure from the program was formalised in an ARN update on Tuesday evening, which said Henderson 'cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands'.

Henderson was leaving a sound healing session in Newtown on Tuesday afternoon, just hours before the bombshell announcement, when she told the Daily Mail 'I'm good!' before retreating into her $10million Clovelly mansion.

The radio star hasn't been seen since, but on Wednesday she enjoyed a lengthy visit from her manager and best friend Gemma O'Neill, who drove a black BMW into the garage and parked next to Henderson's Range Rover.

Moments later, her front balcony doors opened and a strong smell of incense wafted across the road - overtaking the stench of a passing garbage truck, which may have mulched the remains of her $100million broadcast deal.

O'Neill then went to the front door and collected a Hungry Panda food delivery from The Char Rotisserie, one of many on Wednesday, including a dog walker who dropped off Henderson's cavoodle Sadie, and an Amazon driver who struggled to open Henderson's front gate.

O'Neill has been a fixture in Henderson's life for decades, along with a clique of supporters including P.E Nation founder Pip Edwards.

In the radio star's memoir, Jackie O: The Whole Truth, Henderson revealed it was O'Neill who encouraged her to seek treatment for her addiction to painkillers and alcohol.

Henderson admitted in 2024 that she may not be here today if it wasn't for O'Neill.

'I believe she saved my life, I actually do,' Henderson said. 

'And I think we all need a friend like that.'

The pair have since been spotted heading to Athens and Berlin together for a working holiday.

When approached by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, Henderson would not answer questions about her stoush with Sandilands.

'I can't really say anything on that front at this point. I'm sorry,' she said.

Pressed on whether she'd spoken to Sandilands since storming off air in tears, she looked momentarily alarmed, ducked into her car and drove away.

Since the February 20 incident, insiders claim Henderson and Sandilands had only been communicating via text message, ARN management, or through their respective talent representatives, O'Neill and Bruno Bouchet.

It comes as sources within ARN indicate that far from being a catastrophe for the network, the explosion of the Kyle and Jackie O Show could be a blessing in disguise.

With revenue falling, and the company locked into contracts with Henderson and Sandilands so inflated some suspect the show can't be profitable, one insider suspected ARN could be seeking to save money by 'engineering' the program's end.

'ARN has a cost issue because they paid too much for them, and a revenue issue because of the boycotts in Melbourne, so it's been a train crash coming for two years,' a source told The Australian.

'He's a grumpy old man trying to pretend he's 25 years old on an FM station and she's got increasingly interested in astrology and alternative therapies, so they've sort of grown apart.

'So this is a massive win for ARN, and it's probably the last card for [chair] Hamish McLennan because he's the one that signed off on the deal.'

Meanwhile, radio veterans Irene Hulme and Craig Bruce said on the industry podcast Game Changers on Tuesday night that they wouldn't be surprised to see Henderson emerge on her old station 2Day FM in 2027.
