GMA3 host DeMarco Morgan has reportedly come under fire at ABC over racy photos posted to his social media account.
Last year, the TV personality, 45, officially replaced TJ Holmes after he and his co-host Amy Robach were fired amid their affair scandal.

As a fitness enthusiast, DeMarco often shares photos of his gym workouts and bike trips on Instagram.
He normally wears T-shirts or tank tops and a pair of shorts for his active outings.
ABC News executives are allegedly unhappy with a series of photos he shared last month as they believe he took his outfit a bit too far, The Post reports.
DeMarco wore a green zip-up top and a pair of matching skintight bike shorts, along with tall white socks and sneakers.
He had on a helmet as he leaned against his bike and smiled for a few Santa Monica-set snaps.
The alleged issue with the pictures are the tight bike shorts DeMarco wore in the photos, which revealed his bulge.

Fans immediately commented on the racy snaps and joked that the GMA3 host was teasing them.
COMMOTION IN THE COMMENTS
“Shots like this should be outlawed because I damn sure zoomed in,” one fan wrote.
“Sir, we can see your— NVM, great pics,” a second fan commented.
“Mr. D, stop teasing us women,” said a third follower.
“I definitely zoomed in…this man FINE fine,” admitted another fan in the comments section.
ABC News higher-ups reportedly don’t think the photos fit with their parent company Disney’s family-friendly image.
TROUBLE AT WORK?
“Executives at the highest levels of ABC have flagged the photos internally,” a source told the outlet. “It leaves very little to the imagination.”
Discussions are allegedly underway on whether or not to ask DeMarco to take down the photos.

According to TMZ, his colleagues suggested he delete the photos, but he decided against it as he reportedly feels the whole situation has been blown out of proportion.
DeMarco was hired by former ABC News president Kim Godwin, who quit earlier this month.
Her boss Debra OConnell is reportedly working on “cleaning up” after Kim’s missteps, including how she handles TJ and Amy’s relationship scandal and Rob Marciano’s recent firing.
BEHIND-THE-SCENES CHANGES
The GMA3 anchors were allowed to the show after their affair in late 2022, but they were suspended just a few weeks later and eventually fired.
DeMarco and his co-star Eva Pilgrim were officially hired as their replacements in May 2023.
