Jackie ‘O’ Henderson’s friends and family have closed ranks around the beleaguered radio star as the fallout from her exit from The Kyle and Jackie O Show continues.
On Wednesday, hours after news broke that Jackie has walked away from her $100 million contract, Jackie ordered a takeaway delivery to her Clovelly mansion.
Her daughter, Kitty, 15, could be seen greeting the driver, who dropped off a bag of Taco Bell Mexican food.
Kitty appeared in good spirits as she collected the food despite the intense scrutiny surrounding her media personality mother.
Also seen arriving at the home was Henderson’s best friend and manager Gemma O’Neill, who snuck into the premises via the garage.
Gemma spent some time at the house with Jackie, before being seen driving away in her car.

The sighting follows news that The Kyle and Jackie O show has collapsed amid a high-profile feud between hosts Henderson and Kyle Sandilands.
KIIS FM’s parent company ARN announced on Tuesday that Henderson’s $100 million contract has been terminated after she told executives she ‘cannot continue to work with Mr Kyle Sandilands‘ following his harsh comments on-air that left her in tears.
Sandilands has been suspended and given 14 days to ‘remedy’ the breach, or else faces termination.
ARN provided written notice to Sandilands stating that it considers his behaviour during the show on February 20 ‘an act of serious misconduct which is in breach of ARN’s services agreement with Quasar Media’.
The KIIS breakfast show will be taken off-air immediately, with ‘interim arrangements made for the show’.
ARN has offered Henderson the possibility of an alternative show on the network.
Neither Henderson nor Sandilands have made personal statements regarding the drama as yet.
Sandilands and Henderson signed a 10-year deal with Australian Radio Network (ARN) in 2023, and have eight years left on the contract.
They were paid a reported $200 million in that landmark negotiation and earned approximately $47,000 per episode.

Henderson, 51, has been AWOL from the Kyle & Jackie O show since Friday, 20 February, after Sandilands, 54, accused Henderson of being unfocused at work.
During the on-air feud, Henderson broke down in tears when the pair were discussing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
While Henderson’s walk-out came as a shock to many, some industry insiders said it was a long time coming.
Craig Bruce, who was program director at 2DayFM during Kyle and Jackie’s reign at the station, told 10 NEWS+ on Monday that the show was likely over.
‘I think that they’re drifting apart. It’s kind of understandable. They have been together now for close to 27 years,’ Bruce said.
‘So they have spent half their lives in a small room together.’
Similarly, entertainment journalist Peter Ford claimed on Monday that it was likely that the duo’s contract would be ‘ripped up and binned’.
