As one of the country’s most respected journalists, Lisa Wilkinson has enjoyed a lengthy career reporting the news, not making it.
But in 2017, all that changed when the mother-of-three made headlines everywhere, after a breakdown over pay negotiations saw her sensationally quit Nine and her 10-year stint as Today co-host alongside Karl Stefanovic.
Rumours of bitterness and infighting swirled amid Lisa’s shock departure. Now, three years on, the 60-year-old is said to be working on an explosive tell-all book that will reveal all about her highly publicised career and falling out with Nine, – and sources tell Woman’s Day Karl is sweating bullets!
“Karl is freaking out – the timing couldn’t be worse,” reveals the insider.
“He’s in the middle of the toughest contract negotiations of his career, he’s feeling very fragile about whether he has a future and he’s terrified Lisa’s scandalous reveal will derail it all,” the source explains, who says the 46-year-old father-of-four is anticipating he’ll be “thrown under the bus”.
