Controversial broadcaster Kyle Sandilands said the past couple of weeks have been โtraumaticโ as he entered the Federal Court on Friday morning for his first hearing against KIIS-owner ARN over the termination of his $100 million contract.
โWish me luck,โ Sandilands told the media before entering the court buildings in Sydney.
ARN terminated Sandilandsโ $100 million deal the instant a two-week deadline it had set for him to fix his โserious misconductโ against co-host Jackie โOโ Henderson expired.
Sandilands has claimed that his criticism of Henderson on February 20, which reduced her to tears, was no different to many other arguments the pair have had over 27 years of working together and was used as a pretext by radio network ARN to tear up their contracts.
