Kyle Sandilands admits he was high during THAT brutal A Current Affair interview with Tracy Grimshaw

Kyle Sandilands has admitted he was ‘high on marijuana’ during his infamous 2013 interview with Tracy Grimshaw on A Current Affair where the veteran journalist grilled him over his on-air controversies.

Speaking to Tracy on his KIIS FM radio show on Wednesday, the 51-year-old shock jock said he got high before the sit-down because he was so nervous.

‘Can I admit now? I was very high on marijuana during that interview,’ he said.

‘I was. I was so buckled.’

Tracy was shocked, asking Kyle: ‘Why did you do that? Did you do that specifically for the interview?’

‘I was nervous. And you know, I thought “Oh, she’s not gonna like me,”‘ he replied. ‘I know it’s illegal. And I’m naughty, but whatever… I was panicked.

‘I’ve always watched you and I’ve admired you.’

Tracy couldn’t believe the controversial radio star was nervous to speak to her, admitting she thought she wouldn’t like him.

‘Gosh, Kyle. That’s such a revelation because I wouldn’t have thought that anything made you nervous. I mean, I just don’t have that sense of you,’ she added.

‘I would love to sit down and talk to you about that.’

In 2013, Tracy interviewed Kyle while he was co-hosting his breakfast radio on 2DayFM with long-time colleague, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson. 

They discussed his radio controversies and his strict censors – she also asked him why he believes he needs to be monitored.

‘I get why they put the monitors in place, but I don’t think it’s required,’ he answered at the time.

He also admitted he didn’t take criticism lightly. 

‘I’ve read that I’m a misogynist, I’m a women hater, I always attack women. It’s simply not true. I’ll say anything to anyone,’ he said.

‘People like to say “he’s a bully, let’s get him fired, let’s attack everyone that likes him.”

‘I have no intentions of upsetting anybody but I might. I don’t want to see anybody break down and cry. I find that horrible. I never intend to hurt anyone’s feelings.’

Tracy announced her departure from ACA in September after 17 years on air.
