“It’s one thing for her to have a relationship with another anchor,” the insider said Page Six. “The question is whether he violated company rules by dating a less senior employee.”
ABC News Chief Kim Godwin seemed to hint at a “no holds barred” approach to the Robach and Holmes scandals during a company-wide meeting Monday.
He decided to remove Robach and Holmes temporarily until the situation was resolved.

ABC News executives did not speak on the matter to the media.
Sources told DailyMail.com that Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez will host GMA3′ this week while ABC figures out how to deal with the PR nightmare.
“There is great confusion internally,” the source said. “ABC News executive Kim [Godwin] have taken them off the air while they deal with this internally.”

It should be noted that Holmes was married to Marilee Fiebig while Robach was married to Andrew Schune before leaving him in August. The former couple have been separated for four months, but are reportedly working things out.
Colleagues were spotted “canoodling” at a bar near ABC News in May.
However, rumors of something more have been going around since 2017, according to PS.
The insider revealed that Roberts pulled the two aside and basically told them to “Stop.”
When Roberts confronted them about the romance, Holmes reportedly denied it. He was allegedly so worried about the rumors affecting his career with ABC that he went to his superiors and hit them out himself.
“He was a journalist at the time, and he didn’t want Robin to think that about him. He went to [ABC brass] and preceded him to reject it because it was not true,” they said.
An additional source told the publication that Holmes went straight to former ‘GMA’ executive producer Michael Corn, because “it was completely untrue, and it shocked them. Amy and TJ’s friendship was affected when the rumors started.”
