Jackie O reveals Kyle Sandilands orchestrated Kiis rebrand and resignation from 2Day FM behind her back
Radio personality and The Masked Singer judge Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has candidly spoken about how the Kyle and Jackie O Show’s dramatic move from Southern Cross Austereo’s (SCA) 2Day FM to Australian Radio Network’s (ARN) Kiis 1065 really unfolded.
Kyle Sandilands concocted the plan (involving proposing the Mix rebrand to Kiis and resigning from 2Day FM) behind her back, promised executives the duo weren’t defecting to Mix, and left her to watch SCA rip down their posters when news dropped that they had, in fact, joined the rival network, Henderson has claimed.

If anything, we now know why she’s stuck with Sandilands. A wolf and it’s sheep.
Seriously, she’s made her career being attached to a scumbag. She could have been quite successful without him.
Jackie has the sexist voice in Australian radio. Is there a tape of the interview? Can you release it? I want to hear her say it. Every word.

An opposing view to other commenters – and I actually listened to Oshers podcast.
Jackie’s an awesome example of a successful female – yes in radio, but in her overall career.
If anything I was disappointed how much of the interview was about Kyle, rather than about her.
