Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, who used to host Good Morning America on ABC, have finally been fired after an “extremely contentious” mediation session. Remember that the hosts were caught in a serious extramarital affair scandal about two months ago? Well, this is one of the results of that scandal.
A Marathon Mediation Session
According to a source, the two ended their relationship with ABC after a marathon mediation session on January 26.
Payout
The report said that when the two left the network and the set of the lunchtime show GMA3: What You Need to Know, which they hosted with Dr. Jennifer Ashton, they would get their contractual pay.
Details Of The Session
A source confirmed that both Amy Robach and Holmes were accused of breaking the law and acting badly in their jobs during the mediation session.
Amy Robach had Alcohol In The Dressing Room
Amy Robach was said to have had alcohol in her dressing room, but a source said that was ridiculous because the network sent her some of the bottles. Last year, the host was also said to have gone to the College Football National Championship game and then come to work the next day drunk.
False Allegations
A person close to the host denies the claims. They say that the accusation is crazy and that Amy Robach was just tired. The hosts and the network have been putting a lot of blame on each other.
Further Allegations
The network went on to say that Holmes and Amy Robach didn’t handle their relationship well and that they waited too long to tell a network executive about their relationship.
ABC said that their behavior on set made some staff uncomfortable, but they haven’t confirmed that they are leaving the network.
Showing Up Together
Reports said that during the session, the two showed up together with their lawyers, Andrew Brettler and Eric George, who were there via Zoom. The network had trouble deciding if they wanted to get rid of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes as anchors, so there was a lot of back and forth.
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Taken Off Air
Last November, a source wrote about rumors that they were dating at work, even though they were both legally married to other people. After hearing about the backlash, they were taken off the air, and their last appearance on the talk show was on December 2.
No Search For A Permanent Replacement
Even though there were rumors that DeMarco Morgan would fill the big shoes before the mediation session with the network, it was said that ABC did not find permanent replacements. Rhiannon Ally, Stephanie Ramos, and Gio Benitez are some other choices.
