Radio host Kyle Sandilands has been the target of a death threat, with the perpetrator reportedly impersonating his co-host, Jackie 'O' Henderson, in an email. This incident follows an earlier handwritten letter that contained specific details about the radio team's workplace.

Sandilands' manager and friend, Bruno Bouchet, confirmed to The Sunday Telegraph that police have been notified of both threats. "We got another threat emailed through, pretending to be Jackie the other day, so we've gone to the police about that," Bouchet stated. There is no indication that Henderson was aware of or involved in the threatening message.

The initial warning, which arrived in the mail earlier this year, raised concerns due to its author's apparent knowledge of the interior of the team's broadcasting facility. According to Bouchet, the writer described how they entered the building by following someone and outlined potential entry points before issuing a threat against members of the team. "I just thought, 'oh, geez' - so we went to the police about it," Bouchet said.

In response to the threats, security measures around Sandilands have been enhanced. Despite reporting the incidents, Bouchet stated that he has tried to manage the situation without letting it consume him. He suggested that individuals who openly express violent intentions might be less likely to act on them, though he emphasized that this was not an invitation for anyone to test that theory.

These events add to a period of significant upheaval for Sandilands and those close to him. Bouchet also recently lost his role as director of the radio program following the termination of Sandilands' contract with ARN, reportedly amid allegations concerning his treatment of Henderson. Bouchet described this professional separation as deeply painful, having anticipated continuing to work with the team for another decade.

The disruption began shortly after Bouchet's 40th birthday, which he had anticipated as a more settled phase of his life. Instead, he found himself navigating the collapse of his job and assisting Sandilands with the legal and personal ramifications.

Bouchet credited Sandilands with maintaining focus during the crisis, noting that the broadcaster regained a sense of control after consulting with lawyers and considering future possibilities. Sandilands' wife, Tegan Kynaston, and their two young children have also provided support during this time.

Sandilands himself recently discussed his family life and ongoing health concerns in an interview with the Daily Mail podcast, The Debrief. He revealed that he and Kynaston have decided against having another child with their three-year-old son, Otto, despite prior hopes for a larger family. Sandilands attributed this decision partly to exhaustion from fatherhood later in life.

The couple has adopted a quieter home life, typically eating dinner early and retiring by 7:30 p.m. Sandilands' health challenges have also been a factor; doctors continue to monitor aneurysms in his brain and chest, with further scans planned. He noted that an aneurysm behind his right eye is inoperable via standard keyhole procedures due to its connection to multiple blood vessels, and a surgical intervention would require a significant cranial opening and resulting scar. This invasive option is being avoided unless the aneurysm shows changes.

This diagnosis became public in February 2025, when Sandilands disclosed it on his former KIIS FM program. At the time, he stated that he was advised to avoid stress, heavy lifting, and cocaine while his health was monitored. The diagnosis had reportedly caused significant distress to Kynaston.
