Jackie "O" Henderson is reportedly considering legal action against her employer ARN Media following her shock exit from the Kyle & Jackie O Show.

The long-time radio star, 51, is considering exploring a wrongful termination lawsuit in the wake of ARN's statement to the ASX, which suggested she had walked away from her contract at KIIS FM, the Australian Financial Review reports.

Sources told the outlet that Henderson alleges ARN wrongfully terminated her contract and that she was not offered another show.

Nine.com.au has contacted ARN Media and Henderson's management for comment.

Last week, Henderson released a statement insisting she did not quit or resign from the Kyle and Jackie O Show following her on-air row with co-host Kyle Sandilands.

"Over the past few days, there has been a lot of speculation and misinformation about my departure from the show," Henderson said in the statement, released by manager Gemma O'Neill.

"I want to make one important point very clear: I did not quit or resign.

"I am deeply saddened by the events of the past week and the possibility of the show ending. This has come as a shock to me, as it has to everyone else," she said.

In addition to Henderson's departure, ARN also announced that Sandilands could be out of the job if he does not prove within 14 days that he did not breach his contract for an alleged "act of serious misconduct" on that fateful show.

Sandilands denied breaching his contract in a statement released earlier this week.

Henderson and Sandilands were little more than a year into their fresh contracts with ARN, reported to be worth $100 million each over 10 years.

Every day Australians will be able to make extra cash on TikTok by opting in to one of the app's latest features; TikTok One.

The new advertising tool, highlighted at the app's industry event TikTok Spotlight yesterday, lets brands turn existing user videos about their products into ads.

And the users – whether they have a following of 1 million or 1000 – get paid.

"This is giving people an opportunity to not just create content … but also be rewarded," Amy Bradshaw, TikTok's general manager global business solutions AUNZ, told nine.com.au.

Once a user joins TikTok One as a creator, brands can contact them directly and ask to use their videos in ad campaigns.

Users can also respond directly to call-outs from brands for specific content.

The best part, Bradshaw said, is that you don't need to be an influencer with millions of followers to get involved.

"It's not about how popular you are as a creator, it's how interesting and unique your content is," she said.

"So it really democratises the creator landscape."

TikTok users must meet eligibility criteria to join TikTok One, like being 18 or older.

TikTok users who don't want to have their videos turned into ads need not worry.

Users must opt-in to the program and agree to let a brand use their content before it can be pushed as a paid advertisement.

"You get to choose which brands [you work with], you can accept or decline if they want to use your ads," Bradshaw said.

"It's just another opportunity to create revenue stream.

"You're creating the content anyway, so you can be rewarded for that."

Like with any new feature, there will be teething issues.

Earlier this week Australian influencer Cheree (@chereeanne on TikTok) was shocked to see one of her videos was being used by Merit Beauty with the 'paid partnership' tag.

Cheree made a video expressing her shock and frustration at not being paid for the ad.

In a follow-up, she said her video had been picked up through TikTok One.

She said she must have signed up without realising or been added to the program due to her follower count, but that she had since removed herself from the program.

Cheree declined to comment for this article.

Bradshaw couldn't comment on Cheree's experience but said steps are taken to prevent situations like hers.

"There may be teething problems," she said, but added that TikTok strives to "make sure we're being measured with how we're rolling out new products".

Other new advertising tools announced at yesterday's event included Prime Time, which lets brands push up to three sequential video ads to users in a 15 minute window.

But Bradshaw promised users won't be bombarded by extra ads "no matter how many advertisers" come onto the platform.

And there are a lot of them.

More than 350,000 Australian businesses already use TikTok, including major success stories like HiSmile.

Launched in 2014 with just $20,000 in capital, it has become a global empire due in no small part to advertising on TikTok and its presence on TikTok Shop in the UK and US.

TikTok Shop allows users to buy products directly within the app and lets creators earn commission by promoting specific brands or items.

HiSmile has made more than $2.6 million in sales on TikTok Shop in the first few months of 2026 alone – but none of those purchases came from Australia.

Despite TikTok Shop's popularity among brands and consumers, TikTok has yet to roll out the feature to its more than 10 million Australian users.

So when will Australia finally get access?

"It's the question I get in every meeting," Bradshaw confessed, but said there's no launch date set for TikTok Shop Australia.

There's no "hidden reason" why the feature hasn't been rolled out in Australia yet, but Bradshaw said that it will come – eventually.

"There's a roadmap, we're opening new markets all the time [and] Australia is not on the immediate roadmap, but we will get there."
