Jackie O Opens Up About Addiction Struggles

Jackie 'O' Henderson, a prominent KIIS FM radio host, publicly revealed her battle with drug and alcohol addiction during a live broadcast. She admitted to consuming a substantial amount of painkillers, sleeping pills, and alcohol and checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in November 2022. This revelation was a surprise to her co-host Kyle Sandilands, who was unaware of her struggles despite their 25-year partnership. Jackie shared that only a select few, including her daughter Kitty and best friend Gemma O’Neill, knew about her addiction. Her decision to go public came after achieving two years of sobriety, and she aims to use her story to help others. Jackie expressed relief and happiness after rehabilitation and is now looking forward to a more authentic life.
