I know what you are thinking.
Is there a double standard considering what happened with Ime Udoka? It is hard to say because we don’t know the full Udoka story. We know that Udoka’s affair was consensual at some point, but what happened after that is a bit of a mystery. Then you have to deal with the power dynamic of the situation, even though that is also vague because we don’t know who initially pursued who in their consensual relationship.
Whatever the case, because TJ Holmes and Amy Robach’s affair was consensual and there weren’t any emotional power issues, there would be no discipline. If I were Holmes, though, I would be worried if the relationship goes sour.
T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach, co-anchors of “GMA3,” will not be disciplined over their romantic relationship … TMZ has learned.
Network sources tell TMZ … Amy and T.J. did nothing to warrant punishment. They are 2 consenting adults on equal levels in the company and have a right to date who they want. One network source adds … the fact they were on the air Thursday — the day after DailyMail broke the story — should telegraph to everyone, neither will suffer any consequences.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Amy actually went to ABC execs several YEARS ago to dispel rumors she and T.J. were a thing. She knew the building was abuzz with talk they had hooked up, but Amy assured her bosses they were just friends — though best friends.
As for the timeline, we’re told both T.J. and Amy separated from their spouses in August, just weeks apart from each other, and “shortly thereafter” began a romantic relationship.
We’re told Amy and T.J. planned to make their relationship public in several weeks, because Amy’s divorce from Andrew Shue will become final in around 2 weeks. They were blindsided by the DailyMail photos that were published Wednesday.
Until the DailyMail story broke Wednesday, they had told no one about their relationship, including execs at ABC.
Our sources say both Amy and T.J. will be on the air Friday, but we’re told there are no plans for them to talk about their relationship.
