Kyle Sandilands has doubled down on offensive comments he made about Chinese women yesterday.
The defiant KIIS FM host said “there’s nothing wrong” with what he said, after The National Council of Women Australia slammed his comments as “appalling” and called for an apology to all women.
“It’s hardly a ‘vile Chinese slur’ … There’s nothing wrong with that. It was fact,” Sandilands said.
He went on to claim that his experience with foreign prostitutes validates what he said.
On Tuesday, Sandilands said he made a shocking discovery about Chinese women after an encounter with a prostitute.
The Daily Telegraph has chosen not to repeat what Sandilands said and has contacted KIIS FM for comment.
NCWA President Robyn Nolan criticised the shock jock.
“The comments by Sandilands in my view are appalling and totally unacceptable for radio at any time,” Nolan said. “Such a discussion warrants an immediate apology to all women and Sandilands should be taken to task for his behaviour yet again.”
“Such a discussion warrants an immediate apology to all women and Sandilands should be taken to task for his behaviour yet again.” Earlier this year, Sandilands sparked outrage over offensive comments he made about Meghan Markle’s mother Doria Ragland, who he referred to on-air as “the black mum.”

Last year he was forced to publicly apologise over offensive comments he made about Virgin Mary. “I thought Mary was his (Jesus Christ’s) girlfriend but apparently it was the mother. And the mother lied obviously and told everyone, ‘Nah I got pregnant by a magical ghost’. Bulls***,” Sandilands said. “Someone chock-a-blocked her behind the camel shed … You might believe everything that’s written down 2000 years ago to be absolutely accurate and good on you, you’re dumb. Dumb as dog s***.
