Gayle King Calls Out T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s ‘Sloppy Mess’ Affair on ‘GMA’


Gayle King is not here for T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s “sloppy mess” of an affair that has become the main attraction of GMA3.

Oprah Winfrey’s bestie, and CBS Mornings host, appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday night, where she was asked about how “all hell has broken loose” on her show’s rival, GMA3. King didn’t hold back while giving her two cents on Holmes and Robach’s extramarital affair.

“Oh gosh, of all the questions I was hoping you would not talk about,” King said. “I mean, I look at the situation and I do say it’s very interesting what’s happening over there.”

“It’s just gotten very messy and very sloppy. I do think that,” she quipped.

When news of the affair first hit the press, producers opted to keep Holmes and Robach on the air. But in the days since the scandal went public, decisions were made to pull the co-anchors off the show and put them on pause.

The new headlines surrounding the story, including allegations that Holmes carried on multiple in-office affairs over the years, had King calling out how “messy” the scandal has become.

“You know, because in the beginning I actually thought — listen, good on Good Morning America, they’re saying that they’re not taking them off the air, two consenting adults,” King said.

“But then the more you read, it’s just very messy.”

“To me, it’s a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved, you’ve got families involved and I keep thinking about that,” King continued. “I’m very concerned about that.”

Robach and Holmes have yet to officially comment on the drama, People reports. They both deactivated their Instagram pages after the news of their romance broke.

The GMA3 hosts were “temporarily” pulled off the air on Dec. 5.
