Jackie O’s Massive $82m Legal Move
Jackie O alleges contract termination was adverse action under Fair Work Act and claims misleading market statements by ARN, seeking over $82 million in compensation.
- On Tuesday, radio personality Jacqueline Henderson launched legal proceedings in the Federal Court against ARN Media, claiming at least $82 million in compensation for alleged adverse action regarding her contract termination.
- The legal action follows the February 20 on-air dispute between Henderson and co-host Kyle Sandilands, after which Henderson sent a 'Complaint Letter' to Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation Pty Ltd alleging bullying and psychosocial safety concerns.
- Alleging her contract termination violated the Fair Work Act, Henderson further claims ARN's March 3 ASX Market announcement contained 'misleading and deceptive' statements, which the company explicitly denies.
- ARN Media confirmed it intends to defend the proceedings and cannot currently estimate the financial impact, while the network was served with unsealed court documents on Monday.
- Sandilands has also launched a separate Federal Court lawsuit against the network following the cancellation of his own contract, as The Kyle and Jackie O Show remains off air.
