The majority of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ former ABC News colleagues gave them the cold shoulder after their love affair was exposed nearly two years ago and they were fired shortly after.
“Once it was clear that we weren’t coming back, I never heard from most people again,” Robach, 51, claimed on the latest episode of the “Amy and T.J. Podcast” Wednesday.
Holmes, 46, said he understood his former co-workers’ hesitation “to a certain degree,” adding, “Everybody’s trying to hold on to their job.
“They don’t want to be seen as being an ally of two people that ABC News doesn’t like.”
In November 2022, photos of the ABC journalists getting cozy on various outings throughout upstate New York and Manhattan were released online, revealing for the first time that the pair was dating.
Since Robach and Holmes were still legally married to their respective partners — Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue — at the time, it was rumored that the co-workers-turned-lovers had an affair.
However, the “GMA3” co-anchors denied ever cheating on their exes, and Robach still claimed on her podcast Wednesday that the leaked pictures just showed her and Holmes in a “private relationship.”
The former “20/20” co-anchor said when she and her boyfriend returned to ABC News two days after the photos were made public, they were actually “surrounded by support” at first.
“My dressing room was full of all of our colleagues,” Robach said, prompting Holmes to add, “Some of it fake. Some of it fake. Absolutely, some of it was BS.”
