  "account": "Former radio personality Jackie O Henderson allegedly abandoned a bullying complaint against co-host Kyle Sandilands after she sought spiritual help to cleanse him of demons, according to documents filed by her former employer ARN in preparation for a courtroom battle in October. Henderson alleged Sandilands made offensive comments about her on-air in September 2025, prompting her to lodge a complaint to management. However, ARN claims Henderson dropped the complaint three months later, after arranging for exorcists to clear Sandilands' demons. Henderson is suing ARN for unlawful termination of her $100 million contract following a refusal to work with Sandilands, claiming the radio giant failed to ensure her health and safety. Henderson, 51, is expected to testify about the mental health impact of Sandilands' attacks, while ARN argues Henderson Media, her own company, bore the statutory duties of workplace health and safety. Henderson's legal team asserts she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder due to Sandilands' bullying, and ARN counters that Henderson failed to report breaches to the workplace safety watchdog, indicating her intent to leave early. Sandilands settled his case with ARN in June, receiving a $12 million payout, while Henderson seeks the remaining balance of her $100 million contract, estimated at around $85 million.",
