jackie o Henderson is pressing ahead with her $82m claim against Kiis FM, even after Kyle Sandilands settled his own dispute with ARN Media for a $12m cash payout. Her legal team told the federal court she is keen to pursue the case, keeping one major media fight alive while the other has been closed out.
Federal Court Claim Stays Alive
The $82m claim is the larger figure in the dispute, and it now moves on without Sandilands’ case beside it. Henderson’s claim will go ahead, which keeps the legal pressure on Kiis FM in place and leaves the company facing a separate fight from the one Sandilands has ended.
That split matters because the two claims were tied to the same broader dispute involving Kiis FM and ARN Media. Sandilands’ side has been formally discontinued by the court after the $12m settlement, so the remaining case now stands on its own rather than moving as part of a matched pair.
Sandilands Ends His Claim
Sandilands reached his settlement with ARN Media for a $12m cash payout, and the court then formally discontinued his legal claim. The financial gap between the two matters is stark: one claim has been settled at eight figures, while Henderson is still pursuing a figure nearly seven times larger.
For Kiis FM, that means the pressure does not disappear with one settlement. Henderson’s legal team has made the direction clear to the federal court, and the claim remains active as the other side drops away.
Henderson Versus Kiis FM
Henderson, the former breakfast host, remains the named figure driving the case forward. Her pursuit of the $82m claim keeps the dispute centered on Kiis FM, not on the settlement Sandilands reached.
For readers following the media business angle, the practical takeaway is simple: one high-value claim has been resolved, but the one that could reshape the larger legal bill is still in play. Kiis FM now faces Henderson’s case without the cover of Sandilands’ separate dispute, and that is the fight still worth watching.
