Jackie Henderson, one half of KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O, spoke on Friday morning about one of her worst ever interviews.
In a segment called ‘O News’, Henderson told a story about an incident that occurred between her and former Glee actor Lea Michele.
Michele’s name was mentioned in passing, at which point Sandilands said: “Who cares about that kid? Can’t stand that girl.”
Henderson responded that she is “no big fan either” after the actress’ response to an interview question on their show a few years ago.
“They got screwed over those kids,” the 43-year-old began, in reference to the actors who appeared on Glee.
“They signed up for the first season and they [producers] made sure they signed them on for like six season after, even if it was the biggest show, they wouldn’t get a pay rise.”
Henderson explained that it was one of the biggest news stories of the time, so she asked Michele for comment.
“Oh god, the frickin’ backlash I got,” Henderson said. “She made my life hell.”
The pair were blacklisted by Michele’s agent, meaning they could not get access to a number of high profile celebrity interviews.
This is not the first time radio’s most controversial duo have seen a public backlash.
Local celebrity Rob Mills has said he “hates” Kyle and Jackie O after he was subjected to a “gross” prank. Other Australian personalities like Ernie Dingo and Blake Garvey have hung up on the pair mid-interview.
International celebrities such as Cameron Diaz and Harry Styles have also blacklisted the radio show after being offended by questions they were asked.

I remember that interview. I used to listen to Kyle and Jackie O on the way to uni every morning and I was a huge fan of Glee. It was the very first thing they asked them (her and the other actress Amber that played Mercedes) and they worded it something like “so how much coin are you getting”? I would have hung up too. Kyle and Jackie O had absolutely no idea who Lea Michelle was because neither watched Glee, so they just blurted out the question about money because they didn’t know what else to ask. This recount by Jackie O is sugar coated. The original interview was unprofessional.
She sold her integrity years ago. I don't know how she lives with herself. Actually, I don't know how either of them live with themselves. They're despicable.
