Amy Robach, 49, has a lot more time to reflect on her affair with Good Morning America co-host T.J. Holmes now that it’s been confirmed that neither she nor Holmes, 45, will return to GMA3 after their affair was exposed back in November 2022.
Three sources allegedly dished to Entertainment Tonight (ET) that while exit agreements “have not been signed on the dotted line,” as the outlet notes, Holmes will not return to ABC, but Robach’s future at the network is still “unclear.” One source reportedly said that it’s “unlikely Robach will stay at ABC,” while another says her exit agreement is still being figured out.
“No one wanted it to come to this, but derogatory information just kept coming up. Once the investigation went several weeks, most people knew that this would be the outcome,” one source supposedly told ET. “T.J. will get a payout. Ties are severed.” They added, “T.J.’s issues got all the headlines but Amy is no angel.”
Another source stressed that Robach has always taken her work and job very seriously and professionally. Regarding one report that suggested Robach had “liquor in her office” and drank while on the clock, the insider explained, “It’s common to have drinks while on assignment, and or be gifted items that are more adult in nature from various entities. But the idea she was drinking on the job and showing up to work intoxicated is absurd. If that was the case, her behavior would’ve shown through several years ago. It’s a shock to hear all the allegations being leveled at Amy, when all she is really at fault for is falling for her colleague.”
According to reports, Robach was left “blindsided” when she learned of the extent of Holmes’ past romances with “several women” at ABC, including 24-year-old script coordinator, Jasmin Pettaway, back in 2015.
A source told the US Sun that Robach feels like “collateral damage,” while insisting, “She had no idea the scope of T.J.’s alleged past office romances.” “She certainly did not foresee that their relationship was going to cause major upheaval — outside of her own marriage,” the source added, in reference to her 12-year marriage with Melrose Place alum Andrew Shue.
Interestingly, a separate source told Page Six that this isn’t really the case, as Holmes was allegedly “up front” with her regarding past relationships.
