Amy Robach walked away from ABC with a better deal than T.J. Holmes
Amy Robach is the breadwinner in her new relationship with T.J. Holmes — at least as far as golden parachutes go.
Insiders tell us the scandalous and newly unemployed lovebirds both got a nice severance package from ABC News after their affair blew up their jobs.
But sources say that Robach walked away with an even bigger settlement than her beau.
Specific details of the settlement remain a closely guarded secret. But another insider explained: “Amy’s been at ABC a lot longer and has a much bigger contract [than T.J.].”

'Good Morning America': Inappropriate Workplace Relationships Were Rampant, Sources Claim
In the wake of T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach's reported affair and their subsequent firing from ABC, a new story from The Cut alleges that workplace affairs and behind-closed-doors liaisons were the norm at Good Morning America. In the 2010s, current and former employees reported that these relationships among women and men with higher seniority were common at the network (the names of the individuals were changed out of fear of professional consequences). "These sources, women who were all in their 20s when they were first hired, say constant rumors about office hookups, including among the company's top brass, made them feel it was normal to sleep with or date a senior colleague," the outlet reported. "It was very commonplace," said a former GMA staffer. "It felt like everybody was sleeping around." "Staffers worked long, irregular shifts, which made it easier for senior-level men to have relationships with younger women who had no time to date outside work. Ruth, who left GMA in 2019 but is still an ABC News producer, says that show in particular seemed like it was staffed by 'a bunch of horned-up high-school students,' who 'learned how to do news in the '80s when people were still doing blow in the bathroom.'" ABC News often "rewarded the people that were either divas or adulterers," one former GMA staffer told The Cut. "It was very frustrating because there were a lot of people that were doing good work." Sascha, a former low-level staffer who, amid her stressful job, was drawn into an affair with Holmes, said, "it didn't seem crazy to her at the time given what she describes as ABC News's 'rampant culture of sex.'"

ABC News Producer Choked to Death on Drunken Night Out With Wife: Report
Dax Tejera, an ABC News producer known for his work with George Stephanopoulos, reportedly choked to death while intoxicated in New York City last December, contradicting a previous statement by his network that he’d suffered a heart attack. Tejera, 37, died of “asphyxia due to obstruction of airway by food bolus complicating acute alcohol intoxication,” the city’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner told the Daily Mail. The exact timeline of the events of Dec. 23 remains unclear, with the Mail’s report failing to address earlier claims that Tejera “collapsed” only after leaving the Park Avenue steakhouse where he’d been dining that night. Complicating what Tejera’s widow called a “terrible tragedy” is the fact that, hours later, she was charged with child endangerment after it emerged that the couple had left their young daughters alone in a hotel room to dine out that evening. “While the girls were unharmed, I realize that it was a poor decision,” Veronica Tejera said in a statement at the time.
