Kyle and Jackie O radio stunt backfires

'Appalling': Kyle Sandilands kept up the questioning after the girl said she had been raped.

The NSW Department of Community Services is investigating a commercial radio stunt this morning, which ended in a 14-year-old girl admitting she had been raped.

The incident occurred on 2DayFM's Kyle and Jackie O show, when a mother rang in to get her daughter to take part in a lie detector test about her experiences with sex and drugs.

After initially sounding uncomfortable with the questioning, the girl started crying and said she had been raped when she was 12.

Then Kyle Sandilands replied: "Right ... is that the only experience you've had?"

The girl's mother then said she had known about the rape. Jackie O then cut off the segment, saying the station had not known about the rape, and offered free counselling to the family.

Community Services Minister Linda Burney says she is disgusted, and has taken a personal interest in the case.

"The Department of Community Services is in touch with the radio station and the producers, and I have to say that they are cooperating fully with our enquiries, particularly in terms of being able to contact the family and in particular this 14-year-old girl," Ms Burney said.

NSW Rape Crisis Centre manager Karen Willis says the incident was managed appallingly by radio host Sandilands.

"Firstly he's ignoring that there's been a crime, but then calling it a sexual experience and then going 'oh have you had any others?'," Ms Willis said.

"Goodness gracious it's a terrible crime, it's actually the second worst crime that you can commit next to murder, and to equate that with something that should be in the 'fun, safety, pleasure' type category, and to be talking about those issues with a 14-year-old."

2DayFM general manager Jenny Parkes issued a statement saying: "All due care and consideration was given to the family and clearly we didn't know anything about the incident.

"The moment we became aware of it was live on air and we shut it down as soon as we possibly could.

"As is only appropriate, we are offering all the assistance we can to the family, including counselling, in what is of course an extraordinarily difficult situation."

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) says it is not yet investigating the segment, and upset listeners should contact Austereo directly to complain.

I can't believe there are people as sick as that mother breathing the same air I do.

The mother basically uses a live air interview to publicly embarrass the daughter about having been raped.

The Chasers were pulled off air for a sketch about children with cancer. This is much more direct and horrific, the only difference being that one channel has a media conglomerate behind it and the other doesn't.

The mother was a thoughtless fucking brain dead bogan with no comprehension of what the ramifications of her idiocy were. It's a common syndrome in those with IQs < 70.

Anyone who gives an iota of shit about this is just as much of a spastic.

Where I'm going with this:
1) That interview broke some major social boundaries, even by my standards.
2) I really don't like the show and I'd like it pulled regardless.
3) Despite the enormity of the act, the show will not be pulled because the station has the backing of Austereo has some major corporations behind it, so tomorrow morning you can bank that the Daily Telegraph will surround its watered down opinion piece way back on page 44 with football updates to distract the bogan public from caring.

 

[u-borat]

nah by that question, sandilands meant if she had had any other sexual assault experiences

thats what i have been led to believe

Anyone who gives an iota of shit about this is just as much of a spastic.

Anyone who listens to that terrible radio station is just as much of a spastic, imo.

Kyle sandilands should of had his entertainment career derailed ever since he started. Fucking useless unfunny idiot.

 

[maryBRAHS]

he said he only said that because he was finding things to say to keep it going while he could signal to the people controlling the station to shut it off air.

tbh I didn't think he dealt with it any differently than any other brainless bogan behind a mic would have. I just think it was disgusting and we should use it as an excuse to remove the program.

 

[xeuyrawp]

we should use it as an excuse to remove the program.

Alternatively, you could ignore it and encourage others to do so.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Would not surprise me if it was a set-up designed to increase ratings and exposure. Certainly has done the latter. Kyle's PR agency's on the Punch reply was pretty lol. No real apology, just sorry for the saga.

Where I'm going with this:
1) That interview broke some major social boundaries, even by my standards.

Boo hoo. Lots of things offend my delicate sensibilities too. Unless you're a wowser, this is what you generally do when something offends you: Walk away. Ignore it. Oh no it offended me, who gives a shit.

2) I really don't like the show and I'd like it pulled regardless.

Just because you don't like the show doesn't mean it should get pulled. If you don't like the show, there's a fairly fricken easy solution and I think you know where I'm going with this.

3) Despite the enormity of the act, the show will not be pulled because the station has the backing of Austereo has some major corporations behind it, so tomorrow morning you can bank that the Daily Telegraph will surround its watered down opinion piece way back on page 44 with football updates to distract the bogan public from caring.

Oh noes a media conspiracy. Yeah? So what? You read the Daily Telegraph do you? (lol wtf)

no fuck that, that program was more offense than driving past police car at 210 km.h^-1

Has anyone got a transcript, because from what i've been hearing on the news is the mother literally forced her to tell.

Has anyone got a transcript, because from what i've been hearing on the news is the mother literally forced her to tell.

Basically what happened was

Mum was ranting about how daughter went to bed at 9 and undercover cops brought her home at 2:30 am and the mother KNOWS FOR A FACT the daughter smokes marijuana etc

So anyway, they hook her up to the device and the mother asks if she has skipped school, daughter says no. Comes back as a lie, so they get into a fight about whether she has been skipping school, and she admits to faking sick days.

That's all good, then the mum asks if the daughter has ever had sex. And the daughter is like, "I already told you about that, this isn't funny" and then says "OH OK I WAS RAPED, OK, WHEN I WAS 12" and everyone goes silent and then Kyle is like "Right ... so is that your only experience" or something along those lines.

They then ask the mum if she knew and she was like "oh lol yeah but I only found out a few months ago" and the Kyle and Jackie O are like "um ... this yeah we're going to abort this now, we are so sorry we had no idea you'd been through this." and then offered the mum and daughter counseling, and the whole time jackie o is just like "oh god i am so sorry we had no idea" and then they go to the mum "um you really should have disclosed something like this before we started, because we'd have never brought her on here" and the mum is like "lol yeah i guess"

So other than the retard statement by Kyle, which was probably a "lol wtf do i say" mechanism kicking in, they were both blind sided by this.

It's questionable that they were asking a 14 year old about her sex life, but other than that I don't really see what they did wrong.

The mother is the one that needs to get roped up imo

 

[David Spade]

kyle is a tard

but obviously it isnt his fault that this came out, he wasnt told etc

but what did he think was going to happen, asking a 14yr old if she has had sex? isnt that pretty dodgey to start with

 

[katie tully]

well he didnt ask iirc, it was the mother who asked

kyle and jackie o just hosted the segment, ill go back and listen (correct me if im wrong) but they didnt actually ask the questions

but it was still questionable judgement, like idk but that's all. as much as i think kyle is an organism lower on the food chain that pond scum, he's only guilty of being a fuck stick


it's quite easy to ignore him. dont listen to 2day fm, or better yet, live somewhere where 2day fm isnt broadcast

srs issues, srs business

= complete misrepresentation of what actually happened.
