‘GMA’ won’t punish T.J. Holmes, Amy Robach for alleged affair: ‘Ratings gold’

“Good Morning America” will not punish T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach for their alleged affair, Page Six has learned. 

An ABC staffer confirmed to Page Six that there will be no disciplinary action taken against the “GMA3” co-anchors. 

“All they care about is the ratings,” our source shares. “This is ratings gold. That’s why [ABC News President] Kim [Goodwin] wanted them on the show today.”

The insider adds that there was a meeting last night, during which employees were told to stick to the status quo and pretend like everything is “normal.”

ABC News did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

TMZ was the first to report that “GMA” wouldn’t be punishing Holmes, 45, and Robach, 49.

The pair were back on air as normal, with Holmes asking, “Who is looking forward to the weekend?”

“Their attitude seems to be that they are both separated, and now they are together,” the insider elaborated. “So there’s nothing to hide.”
