Jackie ‘O’ Henderson appeared relaxed and unbothered as she was seen enjoying a casual walk through Sydney’s Centennial Park on Saturday.
The veteran radio star, 51, put on a calm public face as her legal dispute with ARN Media continues to unfold.
She was seen taking in the greenery and open air in what appeared to be a low-key outing with a female friend, dressed casually in an easy, off-duty look.
Jackie looked effortlessly stylish for the outing, in a white Isabel Marant tee paired with blue tracksuit pants and open-toed shoes.
She added a touch of style to her look with slick sunglasses and a silver bracelet, appearing to be in great spirits as she laughed it up with her friend, with the pair at one point tenderly embracing.
Her blonde hair was worn in loose, tousled waves around her shoulders, and Jackie looked energetic and happy as she appeared in deep conversation with her pal.

At one point, Jackie was seen resting for a moment on a park bench, before resuming her walk.
It looked to be a fun and lively outing for the famous radio star.
The sighting comes as Henderson remains at the centre of a high-stakes Federal Court case against ARN Media over the termination of her reported $100 million contract, following the collapse of her long-running radio partnership with Kyle Sandilands.
Court documents, filed as part of Henderson’s statement of claim, outline months of internal tension leading up to the dramatic breakdown of the Kyle and Jackie O Show earlier this year.
According to the filings, Henderson raised concerns about Sandilands’ on-air behaviour with KIIS network management months before the relationship publicly deteriorated during a live broadcast in February.
The documents allege Henderson began speaking with senior KIIS executives in mid-2025 about what she described as ‘degrading comments’ made on air.
One August broadcast is cited in the claim, during which Sandilands made remarks about Henderson’s personal life and used language she found offensive, prompting her to briefly leave the studio at the time.
The court material also outlines text exchanges between Henderson and KIIS executives in September, where she reportedly said she would not accept the way she was being spoken to, and raised concerns that listeners were describing the on-air dynamic as ‘abusive’.

According to the filings, Henderson raised concerns about Sandilands’ on-air behaviour with KIIS network management months before the relationship publicly deteriorated during a live broadcast in February
The breakdown escalated in February during what would become the duo’s final broadcast, when Sandilands criticised Henderson’s interests on air and suggested she had become ‘almost unworkable’, comments that allegedly left her in tears and prompted her to leave the studio.
According to the claim, ARN did not intervene during the segment.
The following day, Henderson contacted senior ARN executives, describing Sandilands’ conduct as ‘unfair, inappropriate and completely unprovoked’, and questioning what safeguards were in place going forward.
On 26 February, her lawyers formally wrote to ARN subsidiary Commonwealth Broadcasting Corporation alleging bullying and stating she could not continue working alongside Sandilands, while leaving open the possibility of remaining within the network in a different role.
ARN later responded that her letter amounted to termination of her contract, a position Henderson disputes.
She is now alleging the broadcaster engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and breached the Fair Work Act, and is seeking compensation of at least $82.25 million, plus penalties, interest and costs.
Despite the ongoing legal dispute, Henderson’s public appearance on Saturday suggested a composed front as the case continues to progress through the Federal Court system.
