Feb 7, 2023: The Cut: Inside the ‘Horned Up’ Office Culture at ABC News
Holmes and Robach, as far as we know, were two colleagues of equal stature having a consensual affair. They weren’t so different from Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the MSNBC anchors whose off-screen romance was lauded as a Great American Love Story despite rumors that it began as an affair. When Holmes and Robach signed off the Friday after they’d become international news, Holmes sarcastically joked that it had been a “great week,” one he wished would keep “going and going and going.” (“Speak for yourself,” Robach said.) But the publicity didn’t let up.

Defending Tony Dungy from controversy on live TV without being aware of what caused the controversy is a bad look. To his credit, however, after learning of Dungy’s anti-transgender tweet, Scarborough quickly amended his earlier support.
