"I'm not myself": The real reason why Kyle Sandilands stormed off the show
Jackie O Henderson has revealed the real reason why her co-host, Kyle Sandilands, walked out just 11 minutes into their hit breakfast show on Tuesday morning.
The shock jock was nowhere to be seen on Wednesday, so Jackie O had to explain his absence.
One of their producers revealed that Sandilands had been "struggling with his shoulder."
"He sent me a message saying, 'Honey, I'm so sorry. I'm on medication and I'm not myself. I'm in so much pain," Henderson said.
"I actually feel so bad for him," admitted the radio star.
Sandilands had recently injured his rotator cuff and was prescribed Oxycodone to manage the pain.
A few of the side effects of using the painkiller can include light-headedness, confusion and unusual tiredness or weakness.
Henderson also admitted that she may have pushed him off the edge during their discussion about Covid-19 yesterday, as she had reportedly cussed him out.
"Calling him a c**ksucker was the turning point," she said.
Their argument had escalated into name-calling before Sandilands stormed out.
Sandilands had previously used the derogatory term to attack newsreader Brooklyn Ross, and he couldn't when his co-host used the same insult back at him.
This incident comes almost a week into the radio duo signing a record-breaking $200 million 10-year deal on air.
