TJ Holmes slammed by ex-wife Marilee Fiebig for his ‘lack of discretion’ over Amy Robach affair bombshell
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Marilee Fiebig, the estranged wife of TJ Holmes has finally spoken up about his alleged affair. Recently, the couple has proceeded to finalize their divorce, after the affair between GMA3 hosts Amy Robach and Holmes takes new turns. Through her divorce lawyer, Fiebig slammed Holmes by talking about his "lack of discretion, respect, and sensitivity", as their 12-year marriage falls apart.
Marilee, the Chief Diversity Officer for the Save the Children Foundation and an attorney, claims to be touched by public support as she looks for a 'new beginning'. So far, it has been revealed that her sole focus remains on her nine-year-old daughter, Sabine. Similarly, just like Holmes and Fiebig, Robach and Andrew Shue, are also married for 12 years, however, both the pairs had been living separately since August. It's not known when their respective spouses learned about the 'bombshell' affair. Apparently, both Robach and Holmes were suspended 'indefinitely' from the show following the revelation that their well-publicized friendship and on-screen chemistry had 'crossed the line.'

"During the holiday season and in light of the challenging times, Marilee's sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her 9-year-old daughter," attorney Stephanie Lehman told the Daily Mail. "To that end, TJ's lawyer and I have been working together to move their divorce forward privately, expeditiously and as amicably as possible,' the attorney added. "Notwithstanding, we continue to be disappointed by TJ's lack of discretion, respect, and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party's daughter," he continued with his statement. Lehman said, "Marilee has been touched by the outpouring of support and looks forward to a new beginning in this new year."
The same outlet revealed Holmes' relationship with Robach in late November through a collection of images showing the two of them engaging in flirtatious post-shoot get-togethers at a New York City bar, spending time alone in each other's apartments, and spending a weekend away in a remote Upstate New York cottage just two weeks before Thanksgiving. Though Robach and Shue were reported to have advanced for divorce, Holmes and Fiebig were trying to reconcile, however, the affair went out of proportion as the Christmas holidays approached leading to the marriage eventually falling apart with the couple filing for divorce. Fiebig and T.J. met in 2009 and got married in Memphis in March 2010. Their daughter Sabine was born in January 2013.
