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 during a chat with her co-host Kyle Sandilands on their KIIS FM radio show on Thursday morning.

She first revealed that she had spent 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 battled her addiction to painkillers, sleeping pills and alcohol at the Betty Ford clinic in California.

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

‘I was afraid 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 very, very dark place.”

“That’s the addiction to your brain, it changes the way you think, it doesn’t want you to get help, it’s so powerful,” she continued through tears.
