The meteorologist was reportedly let go after getting into a “heated screaming match” with a “Good Morning America” producer.
T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are speaking out in defense of their former ABC News colleague Rob Marciano following his headline-making dismissal from the network.
Marciano, who worked as a senior meteorologist at ABC News for 10 years, was reportedly fired this week after getting into a “heated screaming match” with one of the producers of “Good Morning America.” According to The Daily Beast, the alleged outburst “wasn’t the first time that Marciano had crossed the line on the set,” and he was reported to network leadership.
On Friday’s episode of their “Amy and T.J. Podcast,” Holmes and Robach urged listeners to empathize with Marciano.
“It’s a tough situation. Yes, we have walked down that road and it’s not an easy one,” Robach said. “And I think he might still be going through a divorce. So we know what it’s like to have your entire life upended, career and personal life.”
After noting that he didn’t “know all the details” regarding Marciano’s exit from ABC News, Holmes said, “Whatever it is, we hate to see somebody who’s been a friend and a colleague for a long time end up in this place, this position, to be talked about the way he’s being talked about, to some degree.”
