Amid a growing controversy surrounding a relationship between two co-hosts, ABC News president Kimberly Godwin told employees Monday that she will temporarily take “GMA3” co-hosts T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach off the air while the network decides a course of action.
The relationship was first disclosed on Wednesday by the Daily Mail, which published an exhaustive account of the hosts’ off-set relationship that included photos of the pair in romantic poses.
ABC News management was not aware of the relationship before that story appeared. While the network did not comment on the report, Holmes and Robach appeared on air together as usual on Thursday. They did not acknowledge or address the report about their relationship.
On Monday, Godwin told staff the relationship between Holmes and Robach, who are both married to other people, did not violate company policy, according to a person at the company with knowledge of her comments, but said that the dynamic “has become an internal and an external distraction.
