Holmes' alleged affair with Pettaway
The insider claimed, "She [Pettaway] 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."
"Holmes was someone who would grab drinks, and he and Jasmin started doing that,” the insider claimed. The insider also revealed that the duo engaged in sexual activities at the office.
"They had sex, and I know she was confused afterward as to what it meant.” Further, the source claimed, “He had it all on his terms. He was interested and then he wasn’t.” They further continued, “No one talked about abuse of power back then, but stuff happened."
The insider revealed, “She was only at ABC News for a short period of time, but if they did have an affair when he was her superior, this would be a huge problem for TJ.”
