Erin Molan has revealed Andrew Johns still refuses to speak with her during an emotional tell-all segment on her breakfast radio show.
The former Channel 9 sport presenter and NRL immortal only confirmed rumours of their falling out in 2022 – years after reports first emerged Johns did not want to work with Molan.

Molan was in 2019 quietly shifted away from Channel 9’s Friday Night NRL coverage team – while Johns remained in his role as lead analyst – when it reached a point that the pair were unable to work alongside each other.
Johns also left the Sunday Footy Show before returning in 2021 after Molan departed Channel 9.
Molan has always said she does not feel the same animosity Johns has shown towards her in the past.
Three years since they last worked with each other, the relationship shows no signs of being mended.
Molan was noticeably emotional as she discussed the situation on 2DAY FM’s Hughesy, Ed & Erin Show on Wednesday morning.
After agreeing to discuss her relationship with Johns on-air, Molan opened the conversation by saying: “I feel sick now”.
Molan went through hell in the years that followed her public falling out with Johns when she became the victim of a campaign of social media threats and “vile” abuse.

The segment started when co-host Dave Hughes said: “We don’t like to mention his name on the show because you and him have beef”.
Molan responded by saying she didn’t want to “feed” the public storm, but was honest when asked about the drama.
“It upsets me a lot because I never understood why,” she said.
“And I reached out a few times over the years to try and talk or ask why, and if there was a reason I could think of I would understand. But I guess not everyone is going to like you.”
It has previously been reported, but never confirmed, Johns’ dislike of Molan dates back to 2017 when she replaced Paul “Fatty” Vautin as host of The Footy Show.
She said she did her job at Channel 9 for almost eight years knowing Johns openly didn’t like her.
