She reportedly blames Lara Spencer for being taken off the air

According to an inside source close to Amy Robach, the former GMA anchor is pointing fingers at her co-host Lara Spencer for her removal from the morning program. The insider explained that after Amy and T.J.’s affair became public, it wasn’t just a delayed reaction from the network but a direct response to the growing tension behind the scenes. “The bosses were thrilled and giddy with the ratings on Friday, but now Amy and T.J. are suddenly off the show. It’s not a delayed reaction — something happened and Amy is blaming Lara,” the source revealed to Us Weekly.

Tension between the two women allegedly dates back to 2012, during a time when Robin Roberts was on a hiatus for a bone marrow transplant. The source claims that Lara Spencer was upset when Amy Robach was seen as the heir-apparent to Roberts’ role, while Spencer, a seasoned host, believed she should have been next in line. “Lara was livid that Amy was seen by bosses as Robin’s heir-apparent,” the insider shared. “It was clear that Amy would be the one to step in. Lara wanted the gig and hasn’t ever forgotten it.”

Lara Spencer Denies the Claims

However, a second source close to Spencer disputes these claims, stating that the relationship between the two is not as hostile as it seems. “People have their own idea of what’s going on behind the scenes. Lara is supporting Amy,” the source explained. Spencer herself has also denied reports of any conflict between them, stating in 2014: “I know it’s not as sexy as the other storyline, but we’ve been friends for a really long time. I think if you look back or you’re a viewer and you watch the show, it’s just simply not true.”

The Shocking Affair That Shattered GMA

In the midst of all the internal drama, the most shocking headline has been the revelation of Amy Robach’s affair with T.J. Holmes. The pair’s secret romance became public when photos surfaced showing the two GMA anchors spending time together in upstate New York. The public was outraged, especially considering that both Amy and T.J. were married to separate people at the time. Their affair reportedly began back in March of 2022 while they were training for the New York City Half Marathon.

On Monday, December 5, both Robach and Holmes were suddenly absent from Good Morning America, sparking confusion among fans and staff alike. It was later confirmed that they would not be returning to the program for the foreseeable future. “There is massive confusion internally,” a source told Daily Mail. “ABC News executive Kim Godwin has taken them off the air while they deal with this.”

Amy Robach’s Personal Life in the Spotlight

As if the professional drama weren’t enough, Amy Robach’s personal life has also become a topic of intense scrutiny. It was revealed that Robach had filed for divorce from her husband of 12 years, Andrew Shue, earlier this year. Sources claim that the couple’s marriage had been “rocky” for some time, and that Amy was now in a “happy relationship” with T.J. Holmes. “They’ve constantly had problems over the years and they finally broke up,” a close friend of Amy’s explained to PageSix. “They are both broken up from their spouses and they’re two consenting adults — they have the right to do what they want.”

Despite the controversy, Amy has been vocal about receiving support in the wake of the scandal. Speaking to The U.S. Sun, she expressed gratitude for the support she’s received. “It’s been great, I’ve gotten a lot of support, and I’m happy to be going to work,” she said. However, it remains to be seen how the public will continue to react to her affair and the fallout from the scandal.

A Divide in the GMA Team

As the drama between Robach and Spencer continues to unfold, the situation has created a divide among GMA fans and insiders. While some believe that Spencer’s past jealousy over Amy’s promotion is at the heart of the current conflict, others argue that the relationship between the two women is far more complicated than it seems. What is clear, however, is that the dynamic on Good Morning America has changed dramatically in the wake of the affair and subsequent removal of Robach and Holmes from the show.

As Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes navigate the aftermath of their scandal, the internal tensions at GMA remain a hot topic. Will Lara Spencer remain the supportive colleague she claims to be, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—Good Morning America has been shaken to its core by the shocking truth behind the betrayal between former best friends and colleagues. The fallout from this secret war could change the face of the show forever.
