‘I quit': Kyle Sandilands goes on unhinged on-air rant, threatens show's director
Kyle Sandilands has been slammed by listeners after he stormed off his radio show during an unhinged and offensive rant. Sandilands threw a fit when his show with Jackie O' got heavily censored discussing a while horrific murder case on-air. Sandilands was sharing his thoughts on former Beauty and the Geek star Tamika Chesser, who is alleged to have killed and decapitated her boyfriend. Returning to the show the day after they had faced heavy on-air censoring, Sandilands lashed out claiming that rules for radio presenters reporting on crimes are too strict. 'OK, so the show got dumped in the middle of a planned discussion that I had already discussed with the legal team about things that have been happening on the show,' he said. 'Why was that dumped, when I was using all the correct lingo?' Sandilands was then told that it was The Kyle & Jackie O Show director Bruno Bouchet who had made the call to censor the show and momentarily take it off air. 'Some laws are just so dumb and stupid, and I'm not playing ball,' he said. 'Until this show runs the way I intend it to be run, I will not be back on the air at all, in any way, shape or form. 'I'm not going to waste my life here walking on eggshells around other people's ideas of what I should be doing. 'I do what I want to do and if you don't like it, tough s***. That's the way it is with me.' Sandilands then remarked that he planned to go on a hunt for the show's director with 'dogs and a baseball bat'. Sandiland's manager then came on the mic and confessed to pulling the show off the air momentarily, saying: 'Yeah for the contempt of court stuff. I just don't want you guys going to jail'. 'I'd rather be r***d in jail than be puppeteered by losers,' he spat.' That's the show ripped up. Judges can shove it in their a***, ACMA [Australian Communications and Media Authority] can shove it in their a***, and so can the management of the radio station.' Sandilands then said he would be off air until at least Monday. 'Enjoy the rest of the week, guys. Arrivederci from me,' he added before walking out. Listeners rushed to ridicule Sandilands for his behaviour, with one commenting: 'Ooop we've had a proper white entitled man public tantrum. Imagine being his wife!' 'Big man throwing a tantrum, how embarrassing!' remarked another, with a third replying: 'Wow, men are so emotional.' Officers have so far been unable to recover all body parts, and a wide-scale, multi-agency search was called off on Tuesday afternoon.

Kyle Sandilands storms off his radio show and threatens to quit after being dumped from the airwaves for discussing Beauty and the Geek star accused of murder
An irate Kyle Sandilands sensationally stormed off his radio show on Wednesday after being dumped from the airwaves. The shock jock and his co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson had been heavily censored the day before for discussing the case of alleged murderer and former Beauty and the Geek star Tamika Chesser. Returning to the show, Kyle raged that it was 'unfair' television and newspapers were able to report on the case, complaining that radio was held to a different standard when it came to 'contempt of court.' He went on to say that the 'radio laws should be overhauled', before the show was taken off air. 'This means someone has said something inappropriate and is currently getting in trouble,' a recorded voice said. 'The broadcast will return in seconds.'From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Coming back on air, Kyle, who was broadcasting from home, was clearly not happy with the interruption and took aim at the KIIS FM censor. 'OK, so the show got dumped in the middle of a planned discussion that I had already discussed with the legal team about things that have been happening on the show,' he said. 'Why was that dumped, censor, when I was using all the correct lingo?' The censor told Kyle that it was The Kyle & Jackie O Show director Bruno Bouchet who had made the call to dump the show. 'You only dump when we've broken the law', Kyle raged, before sensationally announcing he was leaving the show. 'You know what? I'm going home – oh sorry, I'm already home. 'I'm not going to waste my life coming in here when I'm being given this instruction, that instruction, this archaic law, that archaic law. I'm not doing it. 'I'm not interested in being puppeteered by losers.' Returning to the show, Kyle raged that it was 'unfair' television and newspapers were able to report on the case, complaining that radio was held to a different standard when it came to 'contempt of court' Kyle's spray did not end there, with the radio star adding that he would not be returning to the airwaves. 'Some laws are just so dumb and stupid, and I'm not playing ball,' he said. 'Until this show runs the way I intend it to be run, I will not be back on the air at all, in any way, shape or form. 'I'm not going to waste my life here walking on eggshells around other people's ideas of what I should be doing. Kyle added: 'I do what I want to do and if you don't like it, tough s***. That's the way it is with me.' Kyle then joked he was going searching for Bruno with 'the dogs and a baseball bat' around his house before Kyle's manager returned to the mic. He admitted pulling the show off the air, saying: 'Yeah for the contempt of court stuff. I just don't want you guys going to jail.' This did not sit well with Kyle who replied he would rather face prison time than be told what to do. 'I'd rather be r***d in jail than be puppeteered by losers,' he spat. 'That's the show ripped up. Judges can shove it in their a***, ACMA [Australian Communications and Media Authority] can shove it in their a***, and so can the management of the radio station. Kyle then said that he would be off air until at least Monday before making his exit. 'Enjoy the rest of the week, guys. Arrivederci from me.' Chesser was arrested on June 19 after police responded to reports of a small fire at the Port Lincoln home she shared with 39-year-old Julian Daniel Story. But when emergency services arrived, they found Mr Story dismembered and missing his head on the bathroom floor of the apartment. Chesser was arrested at the scene and charged with murder. She is currently being held in James Nash House, a mental health facility.
