Reportedly, ABC is officially done with T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach.
TMZ reported that the network has cut ties with the former GMA3 anchors after conducting an internal investigation following the reveal of the pair’s alleged affair.
An insider told the outlet that a marathon mediation session was held on Thursday.
During the session, ABC allegedly cut ties with Holmes and Robach, who will be receiving payouts per their contracts.
However, the former co-hosts and ABC cutting ties wasn’t the only thing discussed during the “marathon” mediation session.
The mediation has been described by unnamed sources as “contentious” and characterized as “a witch hunt,” according to TMZ.
This was after the network allegedly accused the news anchors of various forms of misconduct.
One alleged accusation is that Robach was caught with alcohol in her dressing room, which is a violation of ABC’s policy. It was also allegedly claimed that Robach showed up to work drunk after attending the College Football National Championship in 2022.
TMZ reported that a source said Robach denied these allegations, calling them “ridiculous” and “insane.”
The mediation session comes weeks after Robach and Holmes’ secret relationship was made public.
Page Six reported that a source referring to Robach and Holmes leaving the network said, “They have not finished mediation — but, yes, that will be conclusion.”
Page Six reported that it learned the hosts have not yet signed an exit agreement, but that finalization will happen soon.
In November 2022, it was revealed that the pair had been in a months-long romance while still married to their respective partners.
Though ABC didn’t take the co-anchors off the air right away, the two were eventually suspended while ABC launched an investigation.
As of this writing, neither Holmes nor Robach have publicly commented on the situation, but as far as their relationship, a TMZ source told the outlet that they remain a unified front.
