During the episode, the couple explained their side of the story after ABC executives axed them from GMA3 over their reported affair last December.
The pair had been secretly dating for months while legally married to their former spouses – Amy to Melrose Place actor Andrew Shue, 56, and TJ to Marilee Feibig, 46.
Amy and TJ received major backlash from fans after the news broke; however, the harshest criticism might have been from fellow GMA host Robin, 63, who was close friends with Amy.
Robin – who is a devout Presbyterian and often shares her religious beliefs on social media – was vocal about her disapproval of Amy and TJ’s relationship and their supposed infidelity to their now exes.
“You know who your friends are, and you definitely find out who your friends aren’t in these types of moments,” Amy said on the podcast before sharing who’s supported her throughout the scandal.
One close pal she praised was The View’s Sara Haines, 46, for repeatedly checking in on her after the drama surrounding her and TJ’s relationship unfolded.
She then mentioned her family and how supportive they’ve been during a rocky time in her career.
But Amy failed to mention Robin, seemingly hinting they no longer have a relationship.
WEDDING DIS
GMA viewers suspected that Amy and Robin were still feuding after Amy and TJ were banned from Robin’s wedding to her partner, Amber Laign, 48, in September.
A source exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun that Amy and TJ were left off the guest list despite all her close GMA colleagues being invited.
“Amy and TJ are not invited, and Amy is furious about it. She and Robin were far more than work colleagues, they shared a deep friendship,” the insider shared.
“When their scandal came out, Robin could have gone to bat for them — she had the power to do that and they thought she would.
“Robin had the power to save Amy and TJ, she is that powerful at ABC, and she didn’t,” they added.
“She could have made the case that despite everything they are two consenting adults, and they were separated, but she chose not to.”
BROKEN BOND
Robin and Amy grew closer after the GMA veteran convinced the fired host to get a mammogram on live TV in 2013.
The news anchor was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and was declared cancer-free a year later.
Robin insisted that the on-air procedure could help save a life, and it did, as Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer weeks after the examination.
“Robin and I instantly became sisters,” Amy boasted in an interview with People in 2021.
“But it’s more than that, though, because she and I both know how integral her role was in me getting that mammogram,” the ex-TV continued.
“Which I completely credit with saving my life.
“We are forever bonded. We can speak without speaking,” Amy concluded.
