Radio queen Jackie ‘O’ Henderson reveals the truth behind her explosive Lindsay Lohan feud: ‘I let her have it’

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed the gritty details behind her explosive feud with Lindsay Lohan during their co-star stint on The Masked Singer Australia in 2019.

The pair became fast friends during filming but things fell apart when the radio star, 49, failed to defend Lindsay, 38, against accusations of ‘diva behaviour’.

Now Jackie has opened up about the details of her feud with the American actress in her autobiography The Whole Truth.

The media personality said she was in the grips of an addiction to prescription pills during her appearance on the first season of The Masked Singer.

She added: ‘Lindsay wasn’t in the best of places either, but she and I got on really well.

‘She was unstable too, and I probably was too. Pairing us was a recipe for disaster.”

The Mean Girls star made headlines at the time when reports emerged that she was allegedly a ‘diva’ on the set of the singing competition.

However, Jackie remained one of her staunchest defenders at the time, saying she was “super protective” of her co-star.

“I had her back when articles started trickling out about her being late to set, or difficult, or irresponsible,” Jackie wrote.

“I was super protective of Lindsay and would defend her to the hilt.”

But their close friendship came to a standstill one fateful day when Jackie failed to defend Lindsay from disparaging comments from Wendell Sailor.

The former rugby star, 50, appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O’s show following his elimination from The Masked Singer in 2019.

“He made an off-the-cuff joke about us being late for filming because of Lindsay, but he quickly moved on to another topic so I didn’t say anything to interrupt him. He was just joking anyway,” Jackie recalled.

But Lindsay heard the segment and decided I hadn’t defended her, and before I knew it, I was on the end of a barrage of late-night text messages from the Hollywood actress about how I’d been a traitor and her had dropped. down.’

Still in the throes of her addiction to Stilnox and Panadeine forte, which she was mixing with alcohol, Jackie lashed out at Lindsay via text message.

“I quickly reached my own flashpoint of annoyance and sent a volley back in her direction… I was very offended and left her alone,” Jackie said.

The Sydney radio star went on to say she now regrets the way she handled the feud with Lindsay, saying she only lashed out because she was ‘in pain’.

Lindsay did not return to The Masked Singer Australia when it was renewed for a 2020 season as she was unable to fly to Australia due to Covid travel restrictions.

Bizarrely, The Parent Trap star unfollowed fellow judges Jackie, Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes and Dannii Minogue after confirming she had left the show.

She was replaced by Australian comedian Urzila Carlson. Jackie returned for a second season of the franchise, but dropped out before the third installment.
