Radio queen Jackie ‘O’ Henderson reveals she paid a $100 bribe to cut the line outside a popular Los Angeles nightclub during her recent vacation
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson shocked her co-host Kyle Sandilands on Monday by revealing she recently paid US$100 (AU$155) to queue at a Los Angeles nightclub.
The radio queen, 48, made the surprising admission on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, revealing she had bribed a bouncer to let her and her friends into the exclusive venue and avoid queuing.
“The bouncer said, ‘If you have friends, you should go to the back of the line.’ So I said, “What if I had money?” she started.
“He says, ‘Money, yeah, okay,’ and he puts his hand behind him and I give him $100. I could have just given him ten dollars, he didn’t even look at it,” she added.
Jackie added that it was money well spent as the extravagant nightclub wowed her.

“We go into this Barney’s Beanery and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life, it was so good,” she said.
The blonde beauty recently took a well-deserved vacation to Los Angeles, California, with a group of colleagues, including news anchor Brooklyn Ross.
Henderson is said to have had no problem paying the hefty bribe as it was recently reported that she and Kyle Sandilands are reportedly preparing to leave if they cannot strike a new lucrative deal with their Australian Radio Network (ARN) bosses.
The radio queen, 48, made the surprising admission on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, revealing she had bribed a bouncer to let her and her friends into the exclusive venue.
The radio duo have reportedly demanded a 100% increase from their current salary of $5 million per year, to a shocking $10 million per year – making it the biggest deal in Australian radio history.
Over the course of a 10-year contract, the raise would net them a total of $200 million. The Daily Telegraph.
The record deal would continue the shock jock team until the end of 2034 and make them the highest-paid radio hosts in the country.

While other radio veterans like Ray Hadley, Amanda Keller and Carrie Bickmore make “only” $3.5 million a year, Kyle and Jackie O will call the shots.
The demands reportedly don’t stop there as the old friends look to dominate other markets beyond their mainly Sydney-based audience.
With 15 months left on their contract, the pair are said to be pushing for less censorship as they try to gain a foothold in the Melbourne market.
Daily Mail Australia contacted both ARN and Kyle’s manager, who declined to comment.
