Is Robin feuding with her co-host George Stephanopoulos?
After Roberts announced that she was taking a break from her hosting duties at GMA, rumors started to surface that she and her GMA co-host were feuding over a newly filed lawsuit against a former top producer of the show.
On August 25, 2021, The Wall Street Journal reported that Kirstyn Crawford, a GMA producer, filed a lawsuit against Michael Corn, the former top producer, alleging he sexually assaulted her and fostered a toxic work environment.
Corn has since denied the allegations.
According to The Daily Beast, multiple staff members who attended a team-wide call on the topic claimed that Roberts emotionally said: "If this happened to someone on my team, I would have burned the place down."
The Daily Beast sources said that Robert's comment seemed to be directed at her co-host George Stephanopoulos, who, according to the lawsuit, knew about Crawford's sexual assault allegations for years but continued to work with Corn anyway.
Despite the rumored feud, an ABC News spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Beast that "Robin and George are fine."
"She told him personally that she wasn’t referring to him and called the team the next day to reiterate that her comment was not about any one individual," the spokesperson continued.
Is Robin Roberts leaving Good Morning America to host Jeopardy!?
Many fans thought the search for a new Jeopardy! the host was over when they announced that producer Mike Richards and actress Mayim Bialik would take over.
However, in August 2021, one week after Richards was announced, he decided to step down following backlash from comments he made in the past and was later fired as the executive producer.
"I was deeply honored to be asked to host the syndicated show and was thrilled by the opportunity to expand my role," Richards said in a statement at the time, according to Variety.
"However, over the last several days it has become clear that moving forward as host would be too much of a distraction for our fans and not the right move for the show."
Richards continued, "I want to apologize to each of you for the unwanted negative attention that has come to Jeopardy! over the last few weeks and for the confusion and delays this is now causing. I know I have a lot of work to do to regain your trust and confidence."
It was later revealed that Sony Pictures Television will "resume the search for a permanent syndicated host."
