“I’m going home”: Kyle Sandilands' dramatic walkout
Radio giant Kyle Sandilands is renowned for his blunt approach, and paired with his passion to shock his loyal listeners, he never fails to leave mouths agape.
And on June 8, a segment of the Kyle & Jackie O Show saw the shock jock at his wit's end when he stormed out of the studio after an argument with producers.
Sandilands, 51, decided he had had enough of his producers “killing his vibe” and left the building in a fit of rage.
His abrupt departure shocked listeners, who were tuning in to enjoy the show’s typical witty banter.
"What do you mean? Okay, stop the whole show. Turn that music off,” an audibly disgruntled Sandilands remarked.
His co-host Jackie “O” Henderson was quick to come to his defence.
“This show is not fun. Energy is off with everybody,” she added.
The tiff then escalated into a heated argument among the team members.
Producer Pete Deppeler instructed newsreader Brooklyn Ross to amp up his energy levels, a comment quickly met with a remark from another producer, “P** off Pete”.
Caught up in the theatrics of it all Jackie O chimed in again.
“You're killing my vibe guys,” she said.
Executive Producer Pedro Vitola then stepped into the conflict.
"To my defence and the reason I got very angry was, I'm so bored here,” he admitted.
However, Sandilands had the final say.
“Well, you know what? I'm going home,” he announced, before removing his headphones and exiting the studio in a huff.
“I'm exhausted as an entertainer,” he declared.
