Well, on dwell TV, the couple’s non permanent replacements, Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez, tried to brush previous the controversy by insisting T.J. and Amy have been merely simply taking a private day. Ramos started the present with a smile, saying:
“Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have the day off.”
LOLz!
More like they have been banned from showing on display screen! According to ABC sources through TMZ, ABC News President Kim Godwin introduced T.J. and Amy could be taken off the air in the intervening time throughout an editorial name on Monday morning. She even blasted their romance buzz, calling it an “internal and external distraction.” Oof!
But Kim wasn’t performed there. While the exec claimed it wasn’t a simple selection – and insisted the pair had NOT violated any of the corporate’s insurance policies — she argued it was finest for everybody for the co-anchors to take a step again:
“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.”
Interestingly, she then shut down any dialogue concerning the determination (or the romance) shifting ahead, demanding:
“This is something I’m not going to talk [about], 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.”
Those who can’t resist discussing the drama have been requested to talk with HR or a trusted colleague:
“If you think there is something that management needs to know, you can always call HR or, as we’ve said, talk to a manager that you trust. If you think there is something that we need to know.”
Here’s the craziest half although: T.J. and Amy didn’t know concerning the ousting till THIS morning! Yeesh. What a nasty begin to the week after an already fairly brutal few days!

This stunning determination comes lower than per week after their fling was uncovered by DailyMail.com on Wednesday. Several pictures and movies noticed them participating in PDA-filled outings all through NYC, regardless of their marriages. Reports have since claimed they break up from their spouses, Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue, respectively, in August.
While Amy and Andrew are reportedly within the strategy of finalizing their divorce, some say Marilee was “blindsided” by the romance since she was specializing in reconciling along with her husband after his rumored affair with one other co-worker, GMA producer Natasha Singh. Marilee reportedly found their years-long romp in 2019 after discovering a number of damning emails. A supply informed Page Six on Friday:
“Marilee never considered Amy because she was focused on Natasha. She never thought about [him cheating] with Amy because they were friends. Amy’s daughter was their daughter’s babysitter.”
Yikes! The lawyer finally discovered concerning the co-anchors’ relationship whereas on a visit to the Bahamas for T.J.’s forty fifth birthday in August. It all got here out when she found a birthday card from the broadcaster that was far too private. Ouch.
Despite the wild rumors, the couple was allowed to host GMA3 collectively on Thursday and Friday, culminating in a really awkward present throughout which T.J. joked about what a “great week” it had been and Amy expressed her pleasure for the weekend. Despite the chance for (tremendous!) excessive rankings, it appears ABC is not prepared to allow them to host the present amid the scandal. It stays unclear how lengthy the anchors shall be off the air… or what this might imply for his or her future on Good Morning America. Thoughts? Do you suppose T.J. and Amy might be pushed off the air for good following this ordeal? And does ABC News even have the correct to take action if the pair admittedly haven’t damaged any insurance policies?? Send us your predictions (under)!
