Now Amy, 49, has blamed her cast mate Lara, 53, for being benched from the morning program, according to an inside source.
One of the anchor’s inner circle explained to Us Weekly: “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 insider added: “ABC made the decision after further details came to light.”
The source claimed that the tension between Amy and Lara dates back to 2012 when Robin Roberts was on hiatus for a bone marrow transplant.
“Lara was livid that Amy was seen by bosses as Robin’s heir-apparent.
“It was clear that Amy would be the one to step in. Lara wanted the gig and hasn’t ever forgotten it,” the insider shared.
However, a second source has disputed the claim, saying: “People have their own idea of what’s going on behind the scenes. Lara is supporting Amy.”
Amy joined the cast of GMA in 2012 and by 2014 she was promoted to co-anchor.
That same year, Lara was promoted to co-host alongside Robin and George Stephanopoulos.
At the time, TMZ reported tension between the pair, but Lara denied the claims, saying: “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.”
SHOCKING AFFAIR
Previously, Amy and her co-star TJ made headlines after photos of them having a secret rom@ntic r3ndezv0us in upstate New York surfaced.
Tons of fans were outraged by the GMA3: What You Need To Know stars’ getaway since both were married to separate pe0ple at the time they were c@ught.
OFF AIR
On Monday, December 5 the pair did not appear on the morning program, and it was confirmed that they won’t be returning 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.”
ABC journalists Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez filled in for the duo, saying their co-stars “had the day off.”
Apparently, TJ and Amy’s several-month-long affair began when they were training for the New York City Half Marathon back in March of 2022.
Over the weekend the University of Georgia alum spoke to The U.S. Sun about the scandal.
“It’s been great, I’ve gotten a lot of support, and um, just I appreciate everything and I’m happy to be going to work,” Amy revealed.
FAILED MARRIAGES
Previously, it was reported that Amy filed for divorce from her husband Andrew Shue, 55.
A source told PageSix that Amy and the Melrose Place star’s 12-year-long marriage had been “rocky” and that she was in a “happy relationship with TJ.”
“They’ve constantly had problems over the years and they finally broke up,” a close friend told the outlet.
A second insider has confirmed the ABC star’s new romance, saying of her involvement with T.J.: “They’re in a relationship, they’re very happy. They are b0th br0ken up from their sp0uses and they’re two c0nsenting @dults — they have the right to do what they want.”
