Jackie O breaks her silence on the Virgin Mary sex scandal

Kyle Sandilands is "devastated"
  • 27 Sep 2019

Jackie 'O' Henderson has spoken out after her radio co-host Kyle Sandilands caused outrage for his crude comments surrounding the Virgin Mary last week. 

The shock jock called the Virgin Mary a "liar" who got knocked up "behind a camel shed".

Understandably, his remarks received instant backlash.

Kyle fled to America to avoid the haters, and while Jackie said that she hasn't spoken to the presenter since the incident occurred, she saw his apology from Los Angeles and knew he was "devastated" by what he had done.

"I know he is really sorry about what he said," Jackie told Daily Mail Australia.

"And I think he's really keen to address it once we get back on air. But I do know he's genuinely upset that he's hurt people."

Happy Birthday Kyle. There's no one like you, thanks for making every day the best day, filled with laughter, joy and sometimes tears, you've got me and I've got you. 😘😘

When asked about Kyle's welfare, Jackie said she knew he'd be fine. 

"I mean, Kyle's been through things like this before but I think with this one he genuinely feels that people are affected and hurt by it," she told Daily Mail. 

"He didn't want that. It was never his intention, so I think he's keen to bring it up on air."

Kyle and Jackie O have been off work this week during a radio non-ratings period, but the 44-year-old is confident that both of their jobs will be waiting for them when they return.

"I haven’t even spoken to KIIS," she told the publication.

"I'm assuming so."

Kyle Sandilands caused outrage with last week's Virgin Mary comments

Last Thursday, Kyle, 48, controversially claimed that the Virgin Mary was not, in fact a virgin.

“I thought Mary was his [Jesus Christ's] girlfriend but apparently it was the mother,'” he said.

“And the mother lied obviously and told everyone, ‘Nah I got pregnant by a magical ghost’. Bulls**t.

“Someone chock-a-blocked her behind the camel shed... You might believe everything that's written down 2,000 years ago to be absolutely accurate and good on you, you're dumb. Dumb as dog s**t.”

Last week, after the comments, police were called to the KISS FM studios in North Sydney as Christian and Muslim protesters calling for Kyle to be fired gathered outside.
