It’s not ending well for Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. The former GMA3 co-hosts, who had their affair come to light publicly, have been let go by ABC after a lengthy mediation session on Thursday.

Now, the network has severed all ties with Robach and Holmes and they will receive payouts of their contracts.

According to TMZ: the long mediation session was “extremely contentious,” with ABC reps accusing both Amy and T.J. of various forms of misconduct, which one source characterized as “a witch hunt.”

They go on detail that Amy and T.J were told that they did not handle their romance appropriately by waiting too long to disclose it to ABC executives.

ABC expressed that their “behavior on set” was “uncomfortable” for some ABC staff.

Page Six is also reporting that their source shared from the talks, that unless ABC reaches a satisfactory departure agreement with both Amy and T.J., they would both be looking at filing lawsuits against the network.

In additional accusations, ABC said alcohol had been found in Robach’s dressing room. However, that was disputed as ABC executives had gifted liquor bottles to Robach and other on-air ABC talent. Robach was also accused of showing up “drunk” to work after attending the College Football National Championship last year. Amy claims she was just tired.

So, what do you think of Robach and Holmes being given the hook by ABC and being show the front door? Comment below.

Good riddance and take the show with you. I can’t believe that ABC keeps this mess of a show and only 1.6 million viewers. Bring back AMC and OLTL in 30 minute slots to replace. Those shows had 3 million viewers at time of cancellation.

I think it’s wrong. Those two had great chemistry from the get go and fun to watch. It’s like kathyLee and Hodia. Great chemistry can’t be faked it just is. ABC screwed up just like CBS. I hope to see TJ and Amy together on another show. I’ll watch in a heartbeat. As far as gma, I’m out

Terrible. Let them stay and let them be. Every network has some drama. This is ABC’s. Quit acting as if this is the best family show and wholesome.
