Tuesday, August 11, 2026 - Kyle Sandilands has reignited his feud with Sunrise host Natalie Barr after making a crude remark about her appearance following their tense on-air interview.
Sandilands criticised Barr for questioning him about his past controversial comments, including whether he regretted remarks he had made about women and people with disabilities.
After the interview, he revealed that he had wanted to comment on Barr’s legs but chose not to say it directly to her, claiming he did so out of “respect for women.”
During his latest broadcast, Sandilands went further, mocking what he described as the condition of Barr’s legs and suggesting she needed moisturiser.
The personal attack came after Barr had challenged him over his public record and asked whether he would be comfortable with his young son listening to his content.
Sandilands clearly felt the questioning had crossed a line, but his decision to respond by targeting Barr’s appearance has now shifted attention back onto his own conduct.
The clash has quickly become another major talking point surrounding Sandilands’ return to broadcasting. His new subscription-based show has already attracted attention following a troubled launch, and the confrontation with Barr adds another controversy just as he attempts to rebuild his media career.
Rather than ending with the Sunrise interview, the exchange has escalated into a fresh public dispute, putting Sandilands’ outspoken style and treatment of critics firmly back under the spotlight.
