Radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands has arrived at the Federal Court ahead of his case being heard against his former employer ARN, who is accusing him of breaching his end of a $100 million deal with co-host Jackie "O" Henderson.
Arriving in a black Rolls-Royce, Sandilands told waiting reporters that his case hearing was "just a procedural day" and would offer "no fun".
When asked if he had spoken to his co-host Jackie "O", whose own separate lawsuit against ARN is due to be heard in the Federal Court today as well, Kyle said he did not expect her to appear.

Sandilands said his message for ARN was simple: "Put me back on the radio".
"Let's get the share price back up."
He was then asked about ARN's counter-claim, which detailed a number of alleged breaches by him, to which he said "there was truth and then there is reality".
"We will get in there and see which is which," he said.

ARN tables foul-mouthed rants in court documents
ARN has detailed a number of rants allegedly made by radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands as the two parties, as well as co-host Jackie "O" Henderson in a separate matter, prepare to face off in court today.
In documents filed to the Federal Court on Tuesday, ARN alleged that on July 2, 2025, Sandilands said he'd "rather be raped in jail than puppeteered by losers".
"I don't give a shit. I'd rather go to jail. I'd rather be raped in jail than be puppeteered by losers. I'm not doing the show anymore as of this second. So good luck," Sandilands is accused of saying.

"Here's the ads. Enjoy the ads. Maybe I'll be on an ad. Maybe I won't.
"That's the show ripped up. Judges can shove it in their ass. ACMA can shove it in their ass."
The rant was one of a number of instances in which ARN allege Sandilands' conduct was in breach of its workplace code of conduct.
The files come as both Kyle Sandilands and Jackie "O" Henderson are due to have their cases against ARN heard in court – in which both presenters are seeking the full payout of the remainder of their 10-year, $100 million contracts signed at the end of 2023.
Sandilands is expected to appear and address a waiting media pack while Henderson's appearance is less certain.
Audience share for the station dropped in the pair's old time slot in their primary market of Sydney, according to a ratings survey released on Thursday.

In its defence to Sandilands' lawsuit over his sacking, ARN told the court Henderson sent the station a letter in February claiming her co-host had engaged in "persistent and relentless bullying".
He allegedly made offensive comments to her in September 2025 that prompted her to raise a complaint with station staff.
"Don't f***ing bother coming back either until you get your f***ing shit together like a normal person," Sandilands allegedly told Henderson off-air.
"I've been carrying this whole show for f***ing a year."
Henderson alleged in court documents that she had complained to station management multiple times about comments by Sandilands over about six months.
Her case is being heard for the first time on Friday, setting up a potential showdown with her former colleague, whose case will also be looked at on the same day.
Sandilands allegedly said some of Henderson's comments were "weird, psychological bullshit", and her belief in "hype words" was negatively impacting her dating life.
But Sandilands' suit claims he did not deserve to have his contract torn up because he had not committed serious misconduct.
The highly public bust-up moved into the legal arena after an exchange between the star pair in February, when Sandilands accused his co-host of being "off with the fairies".
The on-air comments prompted Henderson to say she could no longer work with her contentious colleague
