Henderson, spoke to news.com.au, and revealed that after 17 years of earning less than her co-host, she came to the conclusion that it was time to โ€œfinally take a stand.โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve been in that situation over the years where you do get frustrated that the women arenโ€™t getting equal pay to men and theyโ€™re seen somehow as less worthy,โ€ the 42-year-old said.

โ€œYou get to a point where you know when youโ€™re ready to walk and I think Lisa was obviously at that point as well.โ€  

Nowadays, Jackie O is on par with Kyleโ€™s $20 million dollar five-year contract.
