Although she defended her friend, the singer and presenter said that she fully supports Channel Ten's decision to sack the disgraced DJ.
She told News.com.au: "It's really sad, he's brought an amazing energy and aspect to the show. But I support the network. With our new timeslot, it's a family show now more than ever and [the decision is] understandable."
She added: "Away from the cameras he's a genuine, caring, talented guy."
Sandilands and his radio show co-host Jackie O came under fire after subjecting a 14-year-old rape victim to a grilling about her sex life live on air. Their programme has since been suspended.
Former Idol host James Mathison is tipped to replace the judge on the reality show.
