Jackie Henderson has filed a legal action in the federal court claiming compensation of “at least $82,250,000” for the wrongful termination of her 10-year contract to present the Kyle and Jackie O Show on radio station Kiis.

The Fair Work claim says that the termination of Henderson’s contract earlier this month constituted adverse action, ARN Media said in a statement to the ASX on Tuesday.

“Ms Henderson sent a ‘Complaint Letter’ to CBC which noted that Ms Henderson ‘cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands’ and made psychosocial health and safety and bullying complaints in relation to the conduct of Mr Kyle Sandilands on and prior to 20 February 2026,” ARN said in the statement.

“It is alleged that the Complaint Letter involved the exercise or proposal to exercise workplace rights, and that the contract was terminated because of that exercise or proposed exercise, in alleged contravention of section 340 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).”

The law suit also claims ARN’s announcement on 3 March included misleading and deceptive statements under the Australian Consumer Law.

ARN disputes the claims and will defend the proceedings.

The company said the proceedings have been filed in the federal court against Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation Pty Ltd (CBC), a subsidiary of ARN which is the licence holder for KIIS 1065 Sydney.
