Kyle Sandilands has been dragged into ARN's escalating legal war with his former radio partner Jackie 'O' Henderson after the media giant served him with a subpoena seeking documents.
The 55-year-old shock jock was handed the papers live on air during his subscription show on Wednesday, in a stunning moment orchestrated by manager Bruno Bouchet.
Sandilands appeared taken by surprise as Bouchet presented him with the subpoena and a notice to produce documents.
'I'm very uncomfortable about that,' the radio star said, before tossing the notice into a bin.
'Just tell them I'm overseas or something. Is that what happens? How do you get out of this?'
The exchange took another turn when newsreader Brooklyn Ross asked whether ARN wanted Sandilands in its corner and against Henderson in the dispute.

'Yeah,' Bouchet replied, confirming the network was seeking documents from the radio star as part of its legal battle with his longtime co-host.
'Well, that makes me very uncomfortable,' Sandilands responded.
'I don't feel comfortable saying anything that may affect what she's got going on.'
The development comes just a week after an emotional Sandilands revealed he was left in tears after learning Henderson had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
As Henderson battles her former employer in a lawsuit seeking $82million in damages, her PTSD diagnosis was referenced in a medical report prepared by Dr Jonathan Phillips.
'This morning I woke up … I was shattered. I instantly burst into tears,' Sandilands told listeners.
