Disney Says F-You To The Haters, Won't Punish The GMA Anchors Who Got Caught Having An Affair Because It's "Ratings Gold"
Source - “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.
Fuck. Yes. GMA gets it. This is how companies should handle two consenting adults having an affair - by not handling it at all. Let them do their thing and stay the F out of it. As long as they're doing their job who cares? I've never understood why certain companies get involved in their employees' personal lives. It's bizarre. Let people have sex with whoever they want and if it gets in the way of their work, fire them. It really is that simple. Hubbs recapped the entire story HERE if you wanna check it out. And as far as the "ratings gold" thing goes...that'll last for about a month unless they find a way to stay relevant. May I suggest OnlyFans? I'm sure they're making good money as it is, but if I were them I'd strike while the iron's hot.
On a serious note, it's nice to finally see a shred of transparency from the Disney corporation. Even if they didn't admit it themselves, it's alllll about the bottom line, which I'm sure is the only reason these two still have jobs.
Also, people are calling out TJ Holmes for "acting awkward" on the air the day after he got caught? No. Look at how cocky this mother fucker is...
He kept the job and he got the girl. That's called a win, even if he lost his wife in the process. Thanks for reading.
