Reply to comment by im_a_dick_head in ABC News Breaks Up With Amy Robach, T.J. Holmes Over Off-Camera Affair by Jeffmister

Because it became a public scandal, it was awkward for audiences watching the show after it came out, and ultimately they got replaced and the show didn't miss a beat because Robach and Holmes aren't stars.

So it was just easier to throw the problem away and run their show like normal.

It's not the fairest thing, but in the entertainment business your value and star power and how much your employer will put up with are on the same line and they just weren't that important to ABC for the unwanted attention it was getting

If it becomes a scandal that distracts from the company mission, then no they can't.

Because they were both married. And apparently Holmes had sex inside is office with another junior employee a few years ago.

Well they were both married to other people, that usually does it. Reporters aren’t meant to be the story.

LPT: when a relationship is referred to as an “affair” it’s because one or all of the parties are married to someone else.

Because they were both married to other people while the affair was going on.

“Why?” isn’t even the right question because it did become a scandal.

Plenty of employers have rules or restrictions on relationships between coworkers. Plus ABC is trying to sell “wholesome” and “family centric” as their brand so yeah I can understand

Depends on the company, many discourage fraternizing and you gotta report it to HR.

Unless you're at Dunder Mifflin, then it's fair game.

Username checks out.

Relationships in the workplace is a contentious issue.

Many companies don't care as long as it doesn't affect power dynamics or it doesn't negatively affects the company publicly.
