Kyle Sandilands defends sacked Kiis FM contract breach allegations in court

Friday, 24 April 2026, 06:41 · 1 min read

Australian radio personality Kyle Sandilands appeared at the Federal Court in Sydney this week as his $85 million legal dispute against broadcaster ARN Media (a major Australian radio network) got underway. His barrister argued that Sandilands' often confrontational on- and off-air behaviour — which ARN alleges amounted to serious misconduct, including berating colleagues and audiences in expletive-laden rants — was in fact contractually expected, telling the court: "If you buy Kyle, you get Kyle." The case is further complicated by a parallel lawsuit from co-host Jackie O Henderson, who is separately suing ARN for more than $80 million and whose legal team says Sandilands caused her significant psychological harm; a judge indicated both cases will likely be heard together at a 10-day trial scheduled for October.
