Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes’ “GMA3” Affair Leads To Exit From Network After “Witch Hunt” Mediation

by

Late last year, one of the most unexpected scandals to rock the internet was the revelation of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ secret affair. The Good Morning America hosts previously worked together on-air for years. After the public found out about their private romantic relationship, though, they were quickly taken off television screens all across the nation.

Since then, the world has been curious to find out what the TV personality’s fate would be. Some said early on that they would both obviously be let go from ABC. After rumours came out accusing the Black anchor of sleeping with multiple other coworkers, gossip only began circulating faster.

According to TMZ, a marathon mediation session took place on Thursday (January 26), apparently ending with the GMA stars and the network severing ties. Both parties will likely receive payouts as per their contracts.

Sources tell the outlet that the meeting was “extremely contentious” and compared to “a witch hunt.” ABC reps are accusing both Holmes and Robach of various misconduct, including calling the latter out for having liquor in her dressing room.

Of course, this is usually a violation of policy. However, the accusation is being called “ridiculous.” Insiders state that ABC News executives themselves sent the alcohol to plenty of on-air talent. Additionally, the 49-year-old is facing accusations of coming to work drunk after attending the College Football National Championship game.

A source calls these allegations “insane,” noting that Robach was feeling sleepy the following day. Of course, the romance was also addressed, with ABC stating that they waited too long to disclose it to executives. According to the network, the couple’s “behaviour on set” made other staff “uncomfortable.”

It’s been said that mediation will continue until the fine points of the star’s exit are laid out. Interestingly, when they initially booted Holmes and his partner off the air, they made it clear that no rules were broken by the affair, seeing as they were essentially equal in their roles.

The last time fans saw the charismatic duo on ABC was December 2. It remains unclear what their career plans are moving forward, but the internet certainly has plenty of opinions about the messy situation.

‘GMA’ Anchor T.J. Holmes Files To Divorce Wife Amid Amy Robach Scandal

by

Weeks after photos surfaced of Good Morning America co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes online, the former BET personality has officially filed to divorce his wife, Marilee Fiebig.

According to TMZ, Holmes filed for divorce in New York City this past Wednesday (Dec. 28). A source previously shared he and his estranged wife were in the process of separating, with Robach’s divorce from “Melrose Place” also reportedly being finalized.

Holmes and Fiebig have been married since 2010 and share one daughter.

Intimate photos of the 45-year-old and his co-host were shared online in early December, leading many to speculate that the pair were caught cheating. Some reports claimed that the pair began dating this past June.

Shortly after the news began to make headlines, Holmes appeared to sarcastically joke on an episode of GMA. The host shared that he wanted the week to keep “going and going and going.” Disagreeing, Robach made it clear that her co-host wasn’t speaking for her.

Though it initially seemed that the morning talk show hosts’ jobs wouldn’t be affected by the scandal, ABC eventually pulled them off of the air. As HNHH previously reported, ABC News president Kim Goodwin discussed the move in an internal call, saying, “After a lot of thought, I am taking Amy and T.J. off the air.”

“And so, I want to say that while that relationship is not a violation of company policy, I have really taken the last few days to think about and work through what I think is best for the ABC News organization,” Goodwin continued. “This is something I’m not going to talk, we’re not going to talk about on this call until there is more to be said. I’m asking that we stop the whispering in the hallways. You know, we can’t operate with gossip, and speculation and rumors. We need to stay focused on the work.”

Despite the growing attention on their relationship, Robach and Holmes have been spotted out and about in the past few weeks. Check back in later with HNHH for new updates on the couple.
