T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach Taken Off Air After Affair Goes Public

ABC News have made the decision to take Gooe Morning America anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes off the air. It’s looks like the couple’s relationship is being called a distraction and the two will not be in their seat until things are sorted out by execs.

ABC News’ President, Kim Godwin, made the announcement during an editorial call Monday morning — calling the situation an “internal and external distraction.” Kim also said the decision wasn’t easy and not a violation of company policy, she added, “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 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.” Adding, “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.”

Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez will replace the two on Monday, it’s unclear if they’ll fill the whole week.
