According to reports, Amy Robach did not expect her alleged affair to blow up into a scandal.
She expected things to be bumpy within their own families but was blindsided by the scope of T.J’s alleged office romances.
The “GMA3” personality, whose shocking romance with her co-host catapulted the pair into the news cycle last November, feels like “collateral damage,” a source told the US Sun.
“She had no idea the scope of T.J.’s alleged past office romances,” the insider added, referencing Holmes’ alleged dalliances with an intern 13 years his junior and an ABC producer.
“She certainly did not foresee that their relationship was going to cause major upheaval — outside of her own marriage.”
Robach, 49, and Holmes, 45, were taken off the air shortly after news broke of the scandal. An internal investigation remains ongoing at ABC.
The US Sun’s source believes the inquest “will look into Amy’s past to try to find some scandal,” noting, “But fortunately for her, she is fairly well-behaved.”
However, a source tells Page Six that Robach was not “blindsided” as the report claims — at least by Holmes’ relationship with producer Natasha Singh. The insider claims he was “up front” with her regarding their former relations.
The new report comes just one week after a source claimed to DailyMail.com that Holmes had a months-long affair in 2015 with then-24-year-old Jasmin Pettaway — while married to his now-estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig.
“He was a predator who took full advantage of his position, and he was reckless,” claimed the source, who reportedly knew the script coordinator well at the time.
“It was Jasmin’s first real job in television, and it was a big deal for her. She was looking for a mentor, and she reached out to several people. T.J. was someone who was responsive, but he absolutely abused the position of trust.”
The insider alleged that the two had sex, claiming Pettaway was “confused afterwards” as to what it all meant. The source further claimed that Holmes’ behavior was part of a pattern of “incredibly reckless” conduct on his part.
Amid all the recent media attention, Holmes and Robach’s jobs at “GMA3” are believed to be on the chopping block.

I tweeted this just two months ago. Amy Robach got wind that the lawsuit was going nowhere and decided to play the victim. This, after being TJ’s confidant when he cheated with the producer. This, after she cheated on her former ex husband with her current soon to be ex husband. https://t.co/UXyhU5BOZ9 pic.twitter.com/x4tvFnW1M7
