Sydney radio host Jackie 'O' Henderson's manager, Gemma O'Neill, gave a cryptic non-denial when asked whether Henderson had relapsed after being photographed appearing to drink wine on a night out with friend Pip Edwards. Rather than issuing the straightforward denial expected, O'Neill said Henderson could not comment on "any stories" due to ongoing legal proceedings, an unusual reply given it is unclear what her sobriety has to do with the case. It matters because Henderson has been outspoken about overcoming a serious addiction, and any suggestion of relapse would be significant given her public profile and pending court battle.

Henderson revealed in 2024 that she had been sober for a year following a three-year addiction to alcohol, the painkiller Panadeine Forte and the sleeping pill Stilnox, detailing this in her memoir The Whole Truth. She is currently pursuing an $82 million Federal Court claim against former employer ARN Media, alleging she was wrongfully dismissed after complaining about an unsafe and abusive workplace following an on-air clash with former co-host Kyle Sandilands, which led to both stars' contracts being terminated.
