Amy Robach 'had no idea' about TJ Holmes’ multiple office affairs, feels FOOLISH after big revelation
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Amy Robach, who co-anchored ‘Good Morning America’ spin-off ‘GMA3: What You Need to Know’ with TJ Holmes before controversy regarding their alleged affair began to surface, has now called herself a “collateral damage” amid the drama. Both media personalities were stopped from appearing on ABC’s morning show after it was reportedly found that they were romantically involved despite being married to their respective partners.
Speaking of Robach, a source told The Sun, “She had no idea of TJ's alleged past office romances. She certainly did not foresee that their relationship was going to cause major upheaval - outside of her own marriage. She did not expect this to blow up into a scandal.” The insider was reportedly referring to Holmes’ alleged affair with a newcomer, named Jasmin Pettaway, in 2015. At the time, the 45-year-old was married to his second wife, Marilee Fiebig.

Another source had previously said, “He was a predator who took full advantage of his position, and he was reckless. It was Jasmin’s first real job in television, and it was a big deal for her. She was looking for a mentor, and she reached out to several people. TJ was someone who was responsive, but he absolutely abused the position of trust.”
However, not just Pettaway, married Holmes was also allegedly involved with a married ABC producer Natasha Singh while working as a 'GMA' correspondent. Further, a source stated, “When it was just Amy [Robach] it was one thing, as some claimed they were separated from their spouses. TJ can't really make that same case here." They added, “The execs are concerned that if the Natasha fling happened, could there be anyone else who may come forward? They feel they have no choice but to investigate TJ's history and it will take some time. They have to go back several years here.”
Meanwhile, reports have said that like Holmes’ earlier alleged scandals, ABC in its probe is trying to dig out some more controversies from Robach’s past too “but fortunately for her, she is fairly well-behaved.” This comes after ABC News President Kim Godwin in a memo sent on December 12 said, “I understand that the continuing coverage can be distracting from the incredibly important work our team does here at ABC News. Amy and T.J. will remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review, and there will be a rotation of anchors at GMA3 for the time being. It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best, and I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism.”
Earlier before the memo was sent, TV personality Gayle King had reportedly said: "In the beginning, I actually thought, good on ‘Good Morning America’. They’re saying they’re not taking them off the air. It’s two consenting adults. But then the more you read, it’s just very messy." She added, "I think, to me, it’s just a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved, you’ve got families involved, and I keep thinking about that. I’m very concerned about that."
