Kyle Sandilands repeatedly launched expletive-laden tirades against Kiis FM executives, censors, critics and the Melbourne audience, according to federal court documents filed by radio company ARN.
The details form part of ARN's defence of an $85m claim filed by the shock jock. The documents allege Sandilands called activist group Mad Fucking Witches 'dangerous lunatics', denounced in-house censors for using the dump button, and referred to ARN executives as 'pussies'.
Sandilands also denigrated the show's Melbourne audience, saying: 'If we don't rate better by the end of this year, I'm pulling the carpet out. I'll just take the show off Melbourne. You can suck my dick.' He claimed ARN had 'no control whatsoever over what we do on this show'.
The dispute began after an on-air argument with co-host Jackie 'O' Henderson over astrology, leading her to walk off and later terminate her contract. Henderson has launched separate legal action seeking at least $82.25m for wrongful termination.
ARN has filed a cross-claim alleging Sandilands broke his $100m, 10-year contract through his behaviour, causing Henderson to refuse to work with him and resulting in lost advertising revenue.
