ABC's 'GMA3' Co-Anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Are Taken Off the Air
After their secret affair went viral.
ABC‘s Good Morning America co-anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have officially been taken off the air as a result of their relationship being a “distraction.”
Last week, photos of Robach and Holmes on a secret getaway went viral online. Their affair caused an uproar on social media and apparently at the GMA3 office.
According to TMZ, ABC News president, Kim Godwin, held an editorial call on the morning of December 5 to explain the reason for taking the co-anchors off air. According to the outlet, she called Robach and Holmes’ situation an “internal and external distraction.”
Godwin also made it clear that their relationship wasn’t violating any rules. “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,” she said.
Godwin 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.”
