LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Robin Roberts is one of the most influential people on television and continues to be a force to be reckoned with. The news presenter is known for giving inspiring morning messages to her fans so that they can start their day on a positive note. On Tuesday, May 23, 2023, the host of 'Good Morning America' came forward with an extraordinary message for her fans in which she advised her fans to forgive people who may have hurt them. This message comes after it has been widely reported that she is no longer friends with her former colleague Amy Robach.

The video, which was uploaded on Roberts’ official Instagram account, started with the news anchor saying “thank you” to all her followers for being so supportive. In the clip, the 'GMA' news presenter encouraged her fans to stop giving attention to those who have hurt them and move ahead in their lives.

Roberts told fans to keep believing in Almighty

“When we have been wronged when people take advantage of us if we don't understand that the Almighty will settle our accounts, you're gonna get frustrated. You gotta try to get revenge and manipulate things. You have to trust Him when it's not fair. Keep honoring Him, knowing that justice will eventually be served,” Roberts said. The news presenter also urged viewers not to have a “victim mentality” and to stop giving attention to someone else’s actions.

“Don't have a victim mentality. Stop losing sleep over what someone did. Don't give it any more time or attention. Ain't nobody got time for that. Instead of focusing on who did you wrong, what you didn't get how unfair something was, keep moving forward, being your best, right where you are, and start thanking God, knowing that he sees what happened and will settle your account and right the wrongs and now the prayer,” Roberts continued.

The ‘GMA’ host concluded the video by thanking god to give humans the power of “forgiving” before frustration starts kicking in. These comments come after it was reported that Roberts had a falling out with her former co-worker Robach.

What happened between Roberts and Amy Robach?

For the uninitiated, the friendship between Roberts and Robach blossomed when the former convinced the latter to undergo her first mammogram, an X-ray image of human breasts, on live television. Robin was also diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and was cancer free by 2008. A few weeks after taking the mammogram, Robach was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive breast cancer and immediately began taking treatment.

However, things went downhill when it was found that Robach was allegedly having an extramarital affair with Holmes. The news of their romance scandal didn’t sit well with the main hosts and an insider claimed that Roberts and George Stephanopolous were furious about the entire scandal. Robach and Holmes have since left their respective positions at ‘Good Morning America’.
