Kyle Sandilands to journalist: Sorry if you took offence – maybe you’ll think again before criticising next time
Kyle Sandilands this morning refused to back down over the growing row over his personal comments about a journalist who reported negative comments about his TV show.
As soon as today’s show went on air at 6am, Sandilands raised the issue of his attack on Alison Stephenson – in which he criticised her weight, breast size and hair, and called her a piece of shit – saying that because he had taken the story personally he felt entitled to make personal comments. He told Stephenson: “If you took personal offence to it Ali, I’m sorry to you, but maybe you should think again before you start going at certain people.”
He also said that the TV networks had fallen for News Limited’s claim that he was a misogynist. His comments came as brands began to withdraw advetising. Among those pulling out are Holden, Vodafone and The Good Guys.
Audio from this morning’s program:
He said:
“Did anyone happen to see all the news reports last night that branded me as a woman hater? A Current Affair, Today Tonight, The ABC… the newspapers are all saying that I’m a woman hater. They’re all on board.
“The TV show we did the other night. A review was done by some woman. This woman had obviously sat up until midnight goign through thousands of Twitter messages and pulled out a couple of negative ones and wrote a negative story.
“And obviously I reacted badly as anyone would if somebody said something bad about them. Just as you would if somebody pulls out in front of you in the traffic. You put your finger up, you scream and you carry on.
“It was that sort of reaction. Probably a bit overboard. I went personal on her because I thought her attack was personal on me. But in the newspaper now they’re saying that it’s outrageous, that I’m a woman hater, I should be fired and all this stuff. And pretty much they’re outraged that I would have gone a personal attack on this woman and saying that I only attack female journalists.
“It’s not true. I’ll attack any journalist that attacks me that I think is unfair.
“When they say I shouldn’t be attacking personally that’s probably fair enough. I do react and overreact in a personal way. And I thought, you know what, they’ve probably got me her, but then I was reading some stuff and I thought is this them personally attacking me?”
He then read out comments from news.com.au editor-in-chief David Penberthy describing him as a dickhead. Sandilands claimed:
“I’m feeling that might be personal.
“What I’m finding fascinating is that the newspapers are allowed to say anything they want and God forbid if anyone says anything against them because they are up in arms and they create this big storm, this tidal wave that happened last night on all the TV stations where they lied and tried to make out that I was a woman hater. If you grew up in my family and you witnessed what I had to witness you would realise that I’m the last thing on earth like a woman hater. I adore women.”
Co-presenter Jackie O then interjected: “I think you treat women here, with nothing but the most respect.” Sandilands went on:
“If those that want to criticise me, they’re allowed to. We live in a country of free speech. You’re allowed to say whatever you want. And so am I.”
“It’s pathetic, it’s grubby jouralism and I’m really surprised that all the TV stations got fooled by one news organisation that I was some sort of woman hater.
I support White Ribbon Day. I don’t blame them for jumping on the bandwagon.
“This female journalist, Ali I think her name is. She did a personal attack. She sat up until midnight tryign to skew a story to look ugly. I’ve been told by people that work inside news.com.au that their agenda is to smear me at any stage they can, make me look bad, blah, blah, blah.”
News.com.au is owned by News Limited. For the last two editions, Sandilands has been a guest columnist for the company’s Sunday Telegraph.
Sandilands added: “”If you speak out against me I will defend myself like any normal Australian would do. If you took personal offence to it Ali, I’m sorry to you but maybe you should think again before you start going at certain people. I never dish it out first. I always retaliate due to somebody else’s crazy, outrageous allegations.”
The TV show proved to be a ratings disappointment, declining from more than 1.2m viewers when it went to air to about 200,000 at the end.
This morning, advertisers and media agencies were beginning to raise concerns.Today’s Sydney Morning Herald features UM boss Mat Baxter saying the show had gone from ”shocking to offensive, and when that happens advertisers start to get nervous and look at whether their brand is potentially at risk of being damaged in that environment”.
Tim Burrowes founded Mumbrella in 2008. He worked on Mumbrella until 2021. At various points he was editor, content director and editor-at-large.

Hey Kyle if your show wasn’t shit, if you weren’t shit, if Jackie ‘Oh No’ wasn’t shit people wouldn’t write negative comments. Face the fact that the show was shit, which ironically with you hosting it was quite apt.

Jacki O is to blame as well. When Kyle goes on his rampages she just sits there are laughs. She is a complete air head herself.
How long are Austereo and Seven going to wait before they make a stand on this degenerate excuse for a human.
He can always dish it out, but can never take it. As for calling someone fat, I think Kyle should look in a mirror… a big mirror.

This Journalist, “Ali” as Kyle affectionately puts it, never attacked Kyle personally, merely stating the facts around disappointing ratings and public opinion. Kyle just attacked her in a baseless, childish fashion. He can’t weasel his way out of this one. At least I HOPE he can’t.

Nice one idiot, this fat tool is now condoning road rage in an attempt to justify his misogynistic behaviour. He has all the emotional development of a spoilt toddler.
Austereo’s silence on this issue is shameful.

I agree with Kyle. Over and over again he is attacked by the media and then blasted nationally because he retaliates. Over the years they have called him vile Kyle, a fat slob, waste of air, lazy, ugly and many other not so flattering descriptions.
Hate this man all you want, but he continues to be one very influential half of Australia’s leading breakfast show, and has also proven a ratings winner for programs like Australia’s Got Talent, Australian Idol and X Factor.
Did he take the news.com.au article a touch too personal? Yes. His reaction was over the top, but he was probably feeling exactly how most of us would if we had worked so hard to create a show, only to have it attacked by a journalist referencing a whole 3 twitter comments. Especially when ratings hadn’t even come out yet to support her claims.
They knew exactly what they were doing. Kyle’s only fault is he always takes the bait. Male or female.

What a load of nonsense. His so-called “justification” doesn’t even make sense. He’s so far up his own arse that he would take “personal offence” to a neutral, fact-exposing news piece. Despite the show having two presenters he somehow thinks the whole thing is about him. It wouldn’t have mattered which journalist reported on the show, he/she would’ve probably got the same kind of backlash because Kyle is a yobbo with the intelligence of a blob fish. Therefore he is unable to understand or accept the actual matter at hand – that the show was a terrific disaster (plainly evident in the massive drop of ratings during the show as well as people’s reactions evident on Twitter) and poor Alison had to bear the brunt of his boorish character. He is a complete idiot and he proves it time and time again. I beg the question, why is he still given a microphone? Someone needs to sew up his feral mouth.

I think this has been blown out of proportion. I personally don’t think Kyle is a woman-hater. The journalist had the ‘balls’ to dish it out to Kyle – the least she could do is take Kyle’s reaction, on the chin. What the media is doing to Kyle, is way worse than what Kyle has done to this journalist. It’s funny how everything is one sided with the media. It’s the media that should be ‘trending’ on twitter – not Kyle. As for that journalist – she obviously just wanted to make a good story and didn’t care about, at what cost. If she uses what people say on Twitter to write a story, then she’s in the wrong occupation. Who the fark cares what random, pointless, unprofessional opinions are posted on Twitter. Twitter isn’t a basis to the truth, nor the backbone of reality. Get a grip Media! You’re far worse than this supposed ‘woman hater’ has ever been!

Lets not forget this has happened before. He threatened to punch Dave Hughes in the throat. This is not the first time he’s threatened someone with physical violence. His problem this time around is that he’s attacked someone who works for News ltd and they are the kings of whipping up hysteria. I don’t think he should be sacked for this. He should have been sacked a long time ago. Certainly for what he did to that poor girl from Cambodia and again for that child he strapped to a lie detector. Austereo have put profits first for a long time. At some point it will catch up to him. Hopefully that time is now.

@Leethal What can you honestly call out Kyle for doing that our smarmy friend Penbo hasn’t done in his latest article? ‘Dickhead’ is the least of the expletives used and the title suggests he needs a ‘hole in his head’… is there no threat in that?
I think Kyle is right. He’s not allowed to shout anyone down but apparently every member of the moral elite has a God-given right to say whatever they like about him. And I can’t see his response being any less vitriolic if it had been a man writing that piece but, of course, News Ltd was too smart for that to happen.
He was over the top in what he said but the reaction of mainstream media and corporate sponsors has been disgusting to watch.

No doubt this journalist fabricated the show’s appalling ratings as well, and is black-mailing Austereo’s advertisers to pull out on Kyle’s show.
This man is either completely delusional, or desperately trying to spin this story into something it’s not.

hey cameron, you took the “hole in his head” comment out of context. I believe “he has a hole in his head where his brain should be” was more in line with the original statement, nothing threatening in that.
End of the day this is a guy who didnt see anything wrong with strapping a 14 year old girl against her will to a chair, asking questions about her sexual history, finding out she was raped and yet still needed a producer to whisper into Jackie-O’s ear that maybe they’d better stop asking any more questions. and then blamed the mother of the child for the whole incident the next day. That sort of person needs harsher and harsher criticism constantly flung at him, because its the only way it will finally stick.

You Kyle defenders are a funny lot. I despise everything about him and the low-brow media platforms that he helps propagate; however, I don’t think he’s fat. I think its just a bloated, groomed beardy look – kinda yuppie Carl Williams – that he’s shooting for. It does give off an immediate fatty aura, but I think ‘fat’ is an unfair label.

Having worked at Austereo, even almost 10 years ago, and having mutual friends in common – I have a pretty good insight into how Kyle operates.
I can tell you for a fact that if someone in sales was unhappy with his conduct and it was affecting client sales (as it usually did) he wouldn’t care because he knew that any discussion with the MD/CEO regarding his behaviour would mean absolutely nothing and he’d walk out laughing.
If he’s been getting away with this behaviour for many many years what makes anyone think he, Austereo will change? Time has proven through previous situations that the clients all come crawling back when the situation dies down because all they care about is the ratings and coverage. Mark this date and see how long will it take for Vodafone, Good Guys etc to start putting ads back into that timeslot!
As much as I don’t like Kyle, I do have to say that he isn’t a misogynist – he would go at anyone guy or girl. The problem with Kyle is that he cannot recognise that he attacks people all the time and he finds it funny and acceptable because of who he is, but when they attacks him, it’s personal.

Having worked ‘around’ Kyle, I can tell you his biggest problem is that he’s never learnt the rules of engagement. You get famous, people will talk about you – good or bad. His immaturity is his biggest weakness. He isn’t above or beyond having a tanty when he doesn’t get his way or when someone challenges him.
He’s a big kid in a bearded-man’s body. He won’t learn – so advertisers and employers should be prepared to ride with him for who he is, or get the hell off the Sandi-bus. It ain’t heading to a nice destination.

Greg- “what are you smoking” “air head”- lovely response there, how very Kyle of you. You’re right though, I did get that wrong. I meant to say one of the leading shows, demonstrating their popularity. They are actually the number one FM breakfast show in Sydney, and have been for over 5 years. They also broadcast in Melbourne with the hour of power, in case you’re interstate 😛
Despite all the insults being pegged at him (because of course the best way to say no to personal attacks, is through personal attacks), there is no arguing that the guy still brings in the listeners, is still popular TV talent and is STILL helping these journos sell papers and draw eyes to their online stories.
Kyle’s soo called ‘no talent’ has made him millions of dollars and helped the media that do hate him fill huge amounts of column inches.
User ID not verified.
@linda I have lots of doubt about his popularity actually.
Is he really “popular” or do people just like listening to a knob saying stupid things? Remember people love watching train wrecks.
Would he really be missed and would the ratings change if he was taken off air and not a part of whatever TV shows he is on? Jackie O could probably do fine on her own.
User ID not verified.
I know the journalist Ali Stephenson, and if any of you people who are defending Kyle took the time to read her article, as well as meet her in person, you would be singing a different tune.
Ali is only 25 years old, and is a very sweet as well as a very attractive girl. Kyle insulted her for doing her job and reporting how the show rated, and he took it to a real low by turning it personal.
At least she will still have a career and looks to go off, can’t say the same about Kyle!

So if making money is the criteria we should be judging on, a heroin, cocaine, ecstasy or ice dealer makes more money than Kyle does … so I assume we should allow them free reign as well.
Sorry, but facile senseless arguments like that need to be torn down.
User ID not verified.
@ all the Kyle supporters – have you actually read Ali’s report? What exactly did she “dish out” to him? Did you actually hear his reaction? Do you really think “I’ll hunt you down” is an acceptable response?
If you’ve just assumed this is a media beat-up against Kyle’s brand of humour I suggest you get your facts straight before taking your stand.
If you still truly believe his actual behaviour was justified I suggest, in all sincerity, you take a good hard look at what you’re tolerating (or perpetrating) in your own personal relationships.
“If you don’t like him don’t listen” is not a valid argument this time.
This is not a country of absolute ‘free’ speech. In this country it is not okay to try to hurt people just because you’ve imagined an attack. In this country we have laws to protect us from such behaviour and services to help us escape it.
In this country we don’t have to tolerate paranoid tantrums and threats of harm in our homes or workplaces. We most certainly should not be allowing it on our airwaves.
@ anyone who thinks Kyle is protected by market forces – even as part of the top rating breakfast show Kyle still only attracts about 10% of the market. That’s just the market of people listening to breakfast radio in Sydney. The market of people not listening is much, much more significant.
I’m part of that larger market. Now, I’ve always considered Holdens to be a bit yobbo. That Holden has withdrawn sponsorship of this particular yobbo has increased my estimation of their prestige. I’m now much more likely to consider a Holden next time I buy a car.
If I’m not the only non-listener whose estimation of a product just increased in reaction to non-advertising then there’s a whole other market force to consider here.

True, we could stick our heads in the sand and pretend that it doesn’t matter to us because we don’t have to listen to him but by his attitude to women this guy is showing a side of Australian society that people have fought against for 100 years!! Why should *anyone* be allowed to attack anyone’s opinions by reference to their physical appearance… or more importantly their sex??
If Sandilands had an issue with the way this woman reported his TV program, or if the facts were untrue or if he had *anything* factual to retaliate with then he was at liberty to tear her opinion to shreds. Instead he decided that the response to her report was to tell her her breasts were small, her hairstyle out of date and that she was… in his words… a fat slag.
What sort of society are we encouraging if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchallenged??

Ultimately the problem is with radio in Sydney. It is a talent-free zone that therefore has to get more and more extreme to try to grab what ratings are left to grab. Your choice of radio in Sydney is appalling. You can have a loud-mouthed idiot who has to keep on pushing the boundaries to live up to his own brand, or you can have a right-wing, vilifying nut job who believes the world is flat, or you can have music from 1973-1976. That’s really it. All the other stations are just badly trying to recreate any lost golden era they may have had. That’s your choice. You go anywhere else in the world and their radio puts Sydney to shame. In a talent-free void, it’s no wonder the bullies currently dominate.

Judging by what is popular on radio, Kyle & Jackie are merely more of ill-informed, willfully blind hate peddlers that seek to dominate popular opinion. Personally I think the Hadleys, the Jones, the forced hilarity of the Breakfast and contrived cool drive time afternoon shows serve a useful purpose…while we aspire to a better world, the fact these people rate demonstrates the barriers to a happier, more satisfied existence for all of us. Unhappy people are haters, they are destructive firstly to themselves, then those around them.
Kyle is on record as saying what a miserable life he has. His life is a facade, propped up by leased homes and cars and a fragile media profile. He is a classic bully, quick to play the victim. He had a sad childhood and a grim introduction to adulthood on the streets, he has become the man that has yet to leave all that behind.
I checked out Kyle & Jackies website: a mixture of bogan pride and Kath & Kim.
And for the first time, I listened to their radio show this morning. It needs work. It sounds stale, none of the announcers had good voice skills, the format is clumsy though I can understand why none of them seemed to be having a jolly time, so I cant blame them for the dreariness of it all.
Kyle and Jackie’s show was bad tv. No denying that. But attacking someone for pointing that out just made them look worse. All of Kyles blustering and Jackies garbled responses cant repair the damage, and dug a deeper hole. But people will continue to tune in, because they like a bit of hate in their lives, they like to see a bogan and his slag going off, talking shit, being ignorant, dont underestimate how angry the marginlized people are in our communities, on their way to boring jobs, horrible bosses and disappointing lives. Listening to someone else venting irrational abuse feels good, because very few of us get to do that, we are held back by laws, employment contracts, civic responsibility..all the measures that exist to try and keep us from forming a rabid pack that hunts down people and destroys them.

When popularity trumps morality in your personal value system, you have more issues than Vilekyle.
No wonder Aussies are lousy philanthropists despite 75% of us being in the top 10% of the wealthiest people in the world.
No wonder we ignore the impacts of mandatory detection on people legally seeking a new live, escaping war, torture and oppression (though ignore the majority of visa overstayers as they arrive on planes).
And no wonder our political and business ‘elites’ keep awarding themselves more cash with barely any protest from an apathetic populace – who are comfortable enough to overlook the legacy of environmental damage, hollowing out of the education system and trades and failures to invest in the country’s future.
It all begins and ends with individuals placing personal profit, comfort and prestige ahead of community values and survival. The ending will not be pretty.
