Jackie ‘O’ Henderson breaks down as she admits she went to rehab for drug and alcohol addiction when she mysteriously went missing for months from her radio show two years ago

Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has emotionally revealed she went to rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.

The radio host, 49, made the tearful revelation while speaking to her co-host Kyle Sandilands on their KIIS FM radio show on Thursday morning.

She revealed for the first time that she did a stint in rehab in November 2022, when she took an extended break from the Kyle and Jackie O Show to focus on her health.

Now, she has detailed how she was battling addiction to painkillers, sleeping pills and alcohol at the Betty Ford clinic in California.

She revealed she went ‘back and forth’ deciding whether to share the news publicly before bravely sharing her addiction struggles this week.

‘I was scared to tell people and say this out loud, I know people will look at me differently and love me,’ she revealed on her radio show.

‘I was in a really, really dark place.’ 

‘That’s what the addiction to your brain, it changes your way of thinking, it doesn’t want you to get help, it’s so powerful,’ she tearfully went on.
