Kyle Sandilands says his legal fight with ARN Media is getting “pretty ugly” and he just wants to get back on air.
The former Kiis radio breakfast host made the comments on Friday morning as he arrived at the federal court in Sydney in a Rolls Royce in front of a large media pack.
Sandilands was attending a joint case hearing that also involves his former on-air partner Jackie “O” Henderson. Both are suing ARN Media for more than $80m each.
After stepping out of his Rolls he called on ARN to put him back on the radio.
A reporter asked “how ugly is this going to get”, to which Sandilands replied: “It’s pretty ugly now.”
His message to ARN: “Put me back on the radio.”
Asked if he had spoken with Henderson, he said he hadn’t.
ARN is seeking damages from the pair for breach of their separate $100m contracts and loss of advertising revenue.
ARN Media alleges Sandilands breached his contract by repeatedly berating colleagues and the audience on air.
Justice Angus Stewart will conduct the second case management hearing, despite the applicants filing separate cases against ARN.
Sandilands told waiting media he had no strategy, he just wanted the truth to get out.
