The disgraceful saga ultimately came to an end after ABC network finalized their decision, never to bring back the alleged couple on GMA3. The professional fates came to an end after internal investigation reports came against their expectations. It was finally reported that the alleged couple were to sign off their exit settlement by the end of January. 

However, it took Robach by surprise when the network scrambled to pay comparatively less for her part of the settlement, than Holmes’. Despite having multiple workplace scandals, the network seemed to overlook T.J. Holmes‘s faults and therefore rather tried to disgrace Robach more than needed, in order to reduce her severance package. The negotiation between the former hosts and the network somehow didn’t seem pleasing.

An insider shared with Page Six details of how the network had been trying to cut short Robach’s settlement compensation by giving ridiculous excuses like alcoholism. “That’s how ridiculous that has gotten…They are using any excuse,” a source shared with the outlet. “Other people in the office also have alcohol, it’s everywhere and it’s unopened” the source added, stating ABC’s claims to be insane. 

Further, it was shared by a source “Unless ABC reaches a satisfactory departure agreement with both Amy and T.J., they would both be looking at filing lawsuits against the network”. The possibility of a lawsuit seems to have been the reason for ABC reconsidering its decision of cutting a slack off of Robach’s settlement. However, insiders believe Robach got a larger severance package since she has “been at ABC a lot longer and has a much bigger contract [than T.J.].” 

Therefore, it’s allegedly reported that further lawsuits weren’t the reason for Robach’s package to be greater than Holmes’, it was simply because she served for a much longer period than him.
