It seems that discussion about new age topics is strictly off limits at KIIS FM in the wake of the and saga.

KIIS FM's parent company ARN announced last week that Henderson's $100million contract had been terminated after she told executives she 'cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands' following his harsh comments on-air that left her in tears.   

On Monday, Kent 'Smallzy' Small, 41, took particular issue with one KIIS staffer daring to bring up the topic of astrology.

When newsreader Brooklyn Ross mentioned the fact that Mercury was currently in retrograde, Smallzy was quick to shut down the 'woo-woo' discussion.

'I told you, no astrology. No crystal talk,' he said, in a not-so-subtle reference to the on-air argument that apparently caused the demise of The Kyle & Jackie O Show. 

Smallzy has been filling the KIIS FM breakfast slot since Sandilands, 54, and Henderson, 51, were taken off air last Tuesday.

The two-decade partnership imploded last month after Sandilands slammed Henderson over what he said was a 'fixation' with astrology.

The pair were discussing  Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor when Henderson proceeded to read out the disgraced royal's birth chart.

Sandilands then proceeded to lambast his co-star, claiming that her love for astrology was affecting her work.

As Henderson protested, he continued: 'It's affecting other things, like your fixation on this has made you almost unworkable. You're off with the fairies with this s***t. It's mental.'

Clearly taken aback by the shocking outburst, a stunned Henderson said that she was offended by Kyle's comments.

'I am, Kyle. I totally am offended by you saying something like that,' she said, but he was having none of it.

'Well, too bad if you are because that's the reality of what we're dealing with here,' he spat. 'It’s affecting everything else. You’re too fixated on it.'

It didn't end there, either, with Sandilands claiming that Henderson's obsession was affecting her work – something that had been raised with him by KIIS FM staff.

'The current media narrative does not reflect what actually occurred, and it has been truly heartbreaking to see how this has unfolded.'

The statement continued: 'At this stage, I am unable to say anything further, as I am addressing this through the appropriate legal channels.'

It comes after Sandilands broke cover for the first time following Henderson's departure from the breakfast show, on Thursday.

Channel Nine captured footage of Sandilands outside his mansion in Sydney's Vaucluse, where the radio star has been hunkered down amid his suspension from his top-rated breakfast show.

When approached by 9News and asked, 'Kyle, is this curtains?' the shock jock had a simple, six-word response.

'I can't really speak, mate, sorry,' Sandilands replied.
