Kyle Sandilands has detailed the precise moment he discovered his employer, ARN, intended to terminate his multi-million dollar contract following a significant dispute with co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson. The revelations came during the debut episode of his new documentary series, "At Home With Kyle."

Sandilands, 55, described his initial disbelief upon receiving a text from his manager, Bruno Bouchet, stating that the company was seeking to cancel his contract. He initially questioned whose contract was in jeopardy, even considering it might be Henderson's. Clarification arrived with a single-word reply: "Yours."

"I sat up out of bed and thought, 'What the f*** is going on here?'" Sandilands recalled. He expressed shock, emphasizing the robustness of his contract, which he described as a "70-page bible that was impenetrable."

The potential loss of his job immediately raised concerns about his responsibilities to his family and employees. "I've got this family. I've got businesses all over the place. I've got my own staff... everyone's got these mortgages. I've got $20 million worth of them," he said, noting that his long-term financial plans were suddenly upended.

Despite the professional turmoil, Sandilands stated he harbors no ill feelings toward Henderson, whom he regards as a sister. He expressed hope for her continued success and acknowledged that the underlying causes of their partnership's collapse might remain unclear.

Reflecting on the dispute with Henderson, Sandilands admitted he did not anticipate it would jeopardize their professional relationship. He characterized it as a minor disagreement compared to previous arguments they had shared. "I thought, 'This is a nothing fight. We've done this before,'" he said. While acknowledging the situation was "totally mishandled," he maintained that the issues he raised during their argument warranted discussion.

Sandilands also discussed the intense media scrutiny he faced in the weeks following his suspension, with news crews frequently present outside his home. He continued his commitments on "Australian Idol" while awaiting news about his professional future. He stated that the public attention did not lead to feelings of humiliation, describing it as "water off a duck's back."

He credited the support from fans and colleagues for maintaining his morale during the challenging period. Sandilands also revealed that his wife, Tegan, and close friend, John Ibrahim, actively checked on his well-being, but he asserted that his mental health remained resilient. "I was a homeless teenager. I've dealt with tougher things. Lying down in the corner and crying is not the way I normally handle things," he stated.

The documentary episode concluded with Sandilands describing the anxious wait for a phone call that would determine his return to breakfast radio or his definitive dismissal. He recalled thinking, "Am I gonna get that call? I'm back on air, or I'm fired. One or the other, what's it gonna be?"

The episode then featured a news report announcing the end of "Kyle and Jackie O," a show that had been on air for 25 years. The final scene depicted Sandilands reacting to this news with apparent heartbreak.
