Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has revealed the brave details behind her explosive feud with Lindsay Lohan during their co-starring stint on The Masked Singer Australia in 2019.
The pair became fast friends during filming, but things went sour when the radio star, 49, failed to defend Lindsay, 38, against accusations of “diva behaviour”.
Now, Jackie has opened up about the details of her fight with the American actress in her autobiography The Whole Truth.
The media personality said she was mired in a prescription pill addiction during her appearance on the inaugural season of The Masked Singer.
He added: “Lindsay wasn’t in the best of places either, but she and I got along very well.

However, Jackie remained one of his staunchest supporters at the time, saying she was “super protective” of her co-star.
