Kyle Sandilands has lashed out at a review of his Channel Seven show published in news.com.au
Yesterday on his Austereo radio show, Sandilands hit back at News Limited’s online deputy editor, Alison Stephenson.
Stephenson had branded the show “a disaster” writing: Memorable? Yes. Most probably for the Seven execs who won’t forget the viewer feedback next time Kyle comes knocking on their door asking for a television slot.
Outrageous? Definitely. Boob grabs, sex talk, explicit photos and references to the size of celebrity’s appendages, were the rule more so than the exception.
As Mumbrella reported, Sandilands told radio listeners Stephenson highlighted negative Twitter comments in her report.
“Some fat slag on news.com.au has already branded it a disaster. You can tell by reading the article that she just hates us and has always hated us.
“What a fat bitter thing you are. You’re deputy editor of an online thing. You’ve got a nothing job anyway. Just so you know, you’re a piece of shit.
“This low thing, Alison Stephenson, deputy editor of news.com.au online. Alison, you’re supposed to be impartial, you little troll.
“You’re a bullshit artist, girl. You should be fired from your job. Your hair’s very 90s. And your blouse. You haven’t got that much titty to be having that low cut a blouse. Change your image, girl. Watch your mouth or I’ll hunt you down.”
He also said even though he disliked TV shows by Merrick and Rosso and Rove McManus he gave them the benfit of the doubt.
Jackie O. told him he should learn to take criticism on the chin.
Mediaweek yesterday declined to detail Sandilands’ reaction noting: Sandilands read from the review of their TV show at the start of his radio show this morning with comments we can’t repeat here.
Other media also criticised the show including the Daily Telegraph, which published a sliding scale of the show’s ratings results.
While the show’s 650,000 viewers were a respectable result for the lengthy, late night time slot, the preliminary figures were buoyed by The X Factor running overtime. Across the broadcast they dropped from more than 1.4m to just 200,000.
Sandilands is no stranger to controversy but Seven execs are likely to be looking at ratings performances, audience, advertiser and media reaction, as well as the way Kyle and Jackie O respond to feedback.
The chat show special was widely seen by many as an experiment to see how a primetime special would perform.

What a d***head! I found him entertaining on Idol and don’t mind listening to his radio show on the drive home sometimes, but these comments are out of line.
It’s a negative review, and it was very lenient all things considered. Get over it instead of getting your knickers in a twist
“What a fat bitter thing you are”
Wow doesn’t he see the irony?
How delicious……….she Really got to him !! Such typical bullying behaviour………can dish it out but can”t take it. What a sookie la la. PS Alison 1…. Kyle…..0
It took Kyle & Jackie O 1hr 30mins to Lose 1.3million viewers!
I would say stick to what they do best, but they Suck at that too!
news.com.au, hardly a reputible news source
aaahhhh kyle…. if you can dish it ur sure as hell can eat it…and by the looks of it you eat a hell of a lot more than allison
Why are we still wasting pixels on this horrible man?
any network only has themselves to blame for hiring these two. Even lab rats learn by their mistakes
Mentioning the ladies weight shows what an utter pig he is. She opened herself for a reply from him but of course he went for her physical appearance.
Note to Kyle – look in the mirror mate!!!
“While the show’s 650 viewers were a respectable result for the lengthy, late night time slot”
That’s the best typo you’ve made this year Dave 🙂
Get rid of Kyle Sandilands….he’s a talentless nobody……he’d be great working in a fish + chips shop……
The man has zero class.
Watch out David! Vile Kyle may hunt you down after your reference to “650 viewers”.
Maybe if he wasn’t such a rude and crass moron and he treated people with some respect, people might return the favour. He’s a big baby who can’t take it when the going gets tough.
I avoid anything he has anything to do with, he’s not funny, just cringeworthy. I dont know why the execs are so keen on a USA show with an Australian host(s), take the The Craig Ferguson Show, costs nothing to film, just pick someone edgy and funny to host (Shaun Micallef) and have 1, 3 or even 5 episodes a week. The guests don’t have to be LA stars, just interesting and the host does the rest. Come on execs.
I completely forgot the nude picture segment… I couldn’t believe they put that to air but it just highlighted the double standard..
They can show Scarlett Johansson’s bare breast and arse but they had to cover Kanye West’s half penis. TV censors are so full of it..
Perhaps Kyle didn’t know which chin to take the criticism on.
Does Kyle have incriminating photos of someone in power? I can only assume so as there could be no other reason this idiot continues to get work.
It was a standard critique from what I read…
I want to know how execs work with both of them; and why they bother, it’s not like there isn’t choice in the market place. Vile Kyle sounds diabolical to work with, high maintenance and not worth the trouble. Ask their old news reader….
I with the jorno . The show was compleat
what a horrible thing to say. he really cant take criticism, can he?
I can’t believe people still like Kyle.
Like all bully personalities, Sandilands can give it but he sure can’t take it. When will Australia wake up to how deeply unpleasant and untalented this man is?
What a complete and utter twat.
