“The guy's a flop”: Kyle’s feud with David Campbell erupts
<p>Kyle Sandilands’ feud with <em>Today Extra</em>’s David Campbell has been well documented over the years, though it’s doubtful that many had ‘a blow up over a fake marriage scandal’ on their 2023 bingo list. </p>
<p>David Campbell has recently come under fire for comments he made during an interview with<em> Married at First Sight</em>’s Jesse Bumford. David probed Jesse about his role in the cheating scandal between his ‘wife’ and another of the show’s grooms, and went so far as to suggest Jesse was partially responsible for the infidelity.</p>
<p>Kyle, like many viewers across Australia, believed David’s take left a lot to be desired. But Kyle, who has not been shy about his feelings for David in the past, wasn’t content to leave it at that.</p>
<p>While chatting to <em>KIIS FM</em> co-host Jackie O on their show, Kyle declared David to be a “flop” who “never has anyone’s back”. He confessed to his surprise at David’s approach to the interview, having decided that <em>MAFS</em> groom Jesse seemed like a “nice bloke” with the public behind him. Kyle then suggested that David had immediately sided with Jesse’s ‘wife’, Claire, to appeal to the “woke” crowd. </p>
<p>Jackie O seemed to share Kyle’s sentiments, agreeing that David had behaved like a “smug d**”. </p>
<p>“That's what David Campbell is like,” Kyle vented. “David Campbell reads a headline somewhere, believes it to be 100 per cent true, does no research, and forms a very stupid and immature opinion because that's what that type of person does.</p>
<p>“Then [he] runs around trying to protect everyone with no real details. The guy's a flop. I've never liked him.”</p>
<p>He then admitted that while he likes David’s <em>Today Extra</em> co-host Sylvia Jeffreys, he can’t stomach watching the show because David makes him “physically sick to look at.” </p>
<p>“This is his way of pumping himself up so he's a woke hero,” he surmised, “and no one likes that.”</p>
<p>Brookyln Ross, newsreader for <em>KIIS FM</em>, suggested that David - who should be aware of <em>MAFS'</em> heavy editing and early filming dates - had no excuse for his actions. Jackie O followed up on the thought, wondering if David had even bothered watching past the first few episodes of the show. </p>
<p>“I feel like he has seen the first episodes but has not watched the recent ones,” she mused. “He thought he was doing what the public wanted by attacking Jesse, and not realising, ‘dude, this isn't the way to go’.” </p>
<p>“He's out of date,” Kyle stated. “This is what David Campbell does. This guy doesn't actually have his own opinion. He always does what he thinks people would like, but he really has zero personality.”</p>
