T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach Taken Off Air By ABC New President Kim Godwin

“GMA3” anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes got taken off the air amid their bombshell affair scandal. They found out this morning upon arriving at the studio.

ABC News president Kim Godwin announced Monday during an internal call that the pair would not host their daily 1 p.m. show.

Godwin told staffers on the call that the alleged affair had become too much of an “internal and external distraction.”

She said, “After a lot of thought I am taking Amy and T.J. off the air as we figure this out.”

Godwin added that while their alleged affair was “not a violation of company policy,” the decision to take them out of their anchor chairs was necessary for the “GMA” brand.

Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez will host “GMA3” this week while further internal meetings take place at the network about how to handle the scandal.
