A medical expert concludes Henderson's PTSD stems from Sandilands' belittling behavior, ARN's alleged failure to protect her, and the public disclosure of the dispute to the ASX.

The same psychiatrist notes Henderson's PTSD is linked to Sandilands’ conduct, ARN's alleged negligence in safeguarding her, and the contract termination announcement.

ARN contends that Henderson and Sandilands communicated after the February on-air dispute, and that a later letter framed as a refusal to provide broadcasting services signals ongoing conflict.

Henderson testifies that Sandilands’ on-air behavior shifted in 2023 from light banter to belittling remarks intended to humiliate her, creating emotional exhaustion and safety concerns.

Her affidavit describes a similar change in tone since 2023, with daily anxiety and emotional unwellness stemming from Sandilands’ pointed put-downs.

ARN's updated defence argues Henderson bears responsibility for her own health and safety, alleging Henderson Media’s involvement and a failure to notify ARN of ongoing bullying.

Federal Court documents released form part of Henderson’s case, providing medical and expert testimony related to her claims.

The case alleges breach of workplace rights and a misleading ASX statement, with potential damages of at least A$82.25 million; a separate breach of contract claim by Sandilands was settled for A$12 million, and Sandilands and his manager are not parties to Henderson’s PTSD lawsuit.

A psychologist describes Henderson’s experiences as consistent with workplace bullying, noting the distress is worsened by public exchanges and perceived lack of organizational support.

A separate letter from Dr. Emma Agnew supports the view that Henderson experienced sustained psychological distress from bullying and lack of support.

The filings reference a letter from former psychologist Dr. Justine Corry about the lasting impact of Sandilands’ conduct, though ARN questions Corry’s credentials and current status.

Henderson alleges she suffers PTSD due to ongoing bullying by co-host Kyle Sandilands, contributing to the termination of her $100 million contract.
