Kyle Sandilands responds to builders' lawsuit over renovation bills

A Current Affair's short report pairs the broadcaster's account of continuing bills with a request for the builders' response.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 42,544 views a day, 16 times a normal first day on this channel (2,719).

Kyle Sandilands says he stopped paying renovation bills because they kept arriving after he had already paid a substantial sum. Speaking from inside a vehicle, the radio host gives his side of a dispute over work on his Glenorie property.

A Current Affair's teaser, titled "Kyle Sandilands sued by builders", drew roughly 43,000 views in its first day, about sixteen times the channel's usual start for a Short.

The report shows the renovated white mansion's exterior and interior while Sandilands describes the payments. The video's description says the builders allege an outstanding debt of $200,000. That is the amount being claimed, not a court finding.

Reporter Erin Ramsay then calls the building company for its response. An unnamed representative declines to comment on the dispute, saying the company will let the court process play out.
