She's currently engulfed in her legal battle with former employer ARN.
So it was no wonder Jackie 'O' Henderson wanted to let loose for a night as she made a rare public appearance at the launch of CAMILLA's new fashion range, Paris by CAMILLA, on Wednesday.
Hosted by the brand's designer Camilla Franks and her pal Pip Edwards, the VIP soiree took place at French-inspired restaurant Bonsoir in Sydney's Potts Point.
Jackie, 51, looked effortlessly glamorous in a black, floral-print shirt dress from the range that displayed her bronzed pins to perfection.
The blonde completed her look with black stilettos, statement earrings and a gold bangle.
At one point in the night, Jackie staged an impromptu streetside fashion shoot as she posed inside the front doorway of the restaurant.

Curiously, Jackie didn't post any photos from the night and hasn't made mention of the event on her own social media account.
However, she did send her thanks in an Instagram comment underneath Camilla's reel documenting the festivities.
'So fun. Love you,' the mother-of-one wrote.
The former radio queen was joined at the event by influencer and entrepreneur Nadia Fairfax, interior designer Steve Cordony, stylist and fashion figure Emily Gurr, television presenter Renee Bargh and fashion and lifestyle influencer Candice Lake.
Guests embraced the Parisian theme by dressing head-to-toe in CAMILLA, turning the intimate dinner into a sea of colourful prints, flowing fabrics and statement looks.
The Parisian touches continued throughout the evening, with silver trays of faux cigarettes making an appearance - although these were far more decadent than the real thing.
The cigarettes were custom-made from chocolate, each one featuring the distinctive CAMILLA logo, and were served alongside plenty of bubbles.
The table setting was equally elaborate, with each guest's place featuring a custom illustrated menu created by artist Anouk Colantoni.

The dinner began with a French-inspired selection including oysters, olives and charcuterie, followed by whipped quail with plum and black garlic sesame, and cabbage vinaigrette with orange, Gorgonzola and almonds.
The main course featured Wagyu sirloin au jus with house butter, alongside pommes frites with aioli and salade verte.
Dessert was a classic mousse au chocolat.
As the night progressed, the elegant dinner gave way to a full-blown dance party.
Pip and Camilla sent the celebrations up a notch by both performing the splits on the dance floor during the wild festivities.
The sighting comes amid speculation about what's next for Jackie as she continues to navigate ongoing legal proceedings and remains off-air.
But according to well-placed industry sources, Jackie is not focused on planning an immediate return to radio or television.
Instead, insiders tell the Daily Mail that she is prioritising family life and personal fulfilment over relentless career ambition.

'People assume Jackie is constantly thinking about what comes next professionally, but that's not where her head is at,' a television insider told the Daily Mail.
The radio queen is understood to be enjoying time with her daughter Kitty as she prepares for her final years of high school.
She is also placing her own wellbeing ahead of career considerations.
'Jackie's priorities have shifted,' the insider said.
'Work opportunities will always be there. Right now she's focused on creating stability and making decisions that genuinely make her happy.'
