Email tips@.au<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Kyle Sandilands may be facing intense scrutiny over the implosion of The Kyle &amp; Jackie O Show, but insiders say the controversial broadcaster isn&#8217;t going anywhere just yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Back in 2010, Sandilands, 54, spent $5million on a six-bedroom mansion in the exclusive\u00a0Los Angeles\u00a0enclave of Holmby Hills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The multi-million-dollar home, in which Kyle often resides when he visits America, is located in the same neighbourhood as the Playboy Mansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Sources claim the radio shock jock would normally leave Australia for his luxe LA bolthole whenever media scrutiny intensifies, but this time he&#8217;s being kept firmly on home soil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The reason? His judging role on Australian Idol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">According to industry insiders, Sandilands&#8217; contract with Channel Seven means travelling overseas during the current season simply isn&#8217;t an option.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1XMwJU\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1XMwJU.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1XMwJW\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1XMwJW.jpg\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">With live episodes of the singing competition still airing, the network is reportedly expecting the shock jock to remain in Australia and fulfil his commitments on the judging panel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8216;When things get messy here, Kyle&#8217;s usual move is to jump on a plane and wait for the headlines to die down,&#8217; one insider claimed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8216;But Idol has locked him in place. He has obligations, and Seven expects him to honour them.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The development comes as speculation continues to swirl about the future of Sandilands&#8217; radio empire following shocking developments surrounding The Kyle &amp; Jackie O Show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">KIIS FM&#8217;s parent company ARN announced that Henderson&#8217;s $100million contract had been terminated after she told executives she &#8216;cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands&#8217; following his harsh on-air comments that left her in tears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Sandilands has been suspended and given 14 days to &#8216;remedy&#8217; the breach, or else he faces termination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">ARN provided written notice to Sandilands stating that it considers his behaviour during the show on February 20 to be &#8216;an act of serious misconduct which is in breach of ARN&#8217;s service agreement with Quasar Media.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Meanwhile, the radio titan has &#8216;called in lawyers&#8217; and is &#8216;preparing to sue&#8217; ARN should his $100million contract be terminated following the collapse of KIIS FM&#8217;s The Kyle &amp; Jackie O Show, The Australian reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1XMDY9\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1XMDY9.jpg\" style=\"display: block;

margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">He is reportedly seeking a payout for the remainder of that contract, on which he has eight years and $88million remaining.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">The radio star will argue that ARN has no justifiable cause to terminate his contract, as the network had promised to be fully liable for his on-air comments, the publication reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Sandilands is said to have been &#8216;caught completely off-guard&#8217; by the misconduct allegation, as he had been given free rein on the air, with two full-time censors employed by The Kyle &amp; Jackie O Show to ensure he is safeguarded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">A source told The Australian that Sandilands would agree to leave his top-rated breakfast program only if he was compensated with &#8216;the full $100million he is owed less what he has already been paid&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">In the wake of the drama, Australian Idol viewers have already noticed subtle shifts on screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Fellow judge Jessica Mauboy has appeared to take on a more prominent role in recent episodes, prompting chatter among viewers about whether the network could be preparing for potential changes to the judging line-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Despite the headlines surrounding Sandilands, sources say Channel Seven is reluctant to release the outspoken broadcaster from his Idol contract mid-season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Instead, the expectation internally is that the radio star will continue to appear on the show and weather the storm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1XMpQI\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1XMpQI.jpg\" style=\"display: block;

margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8216;The message is basically: &#8220;turn up, do the job and keep the show moving,&#8221;&#8216; an insider said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Sandilands has long built a reputation as one of Australia&#8217;s most polarising media personalities, with his blunt on-air style making him both widely criticised and hugely influential in the industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">But while he remains locked into the current season of Australian Idol, insiders say questions are already being asked about his longer-term future on the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Whether Sandilands returns as a judge for a future season may ultimately depend on how the ongoing controversy surrounding his radio career unfolds.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">For now, though, one thing seems certain:\u00a0Despite the mounting drama back home, Kyle Sandilands will not be leaving Australia anytime soon.<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0Read more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have YOU got a story?
