For the first time in modern history, a woman has earned more than a man for doing the same job.
According to Page Six, Amy Robach earned more than TJ Holmes in her severance package from ABC News after they both were let go for fraternizing on the job.
Robach and Holmes took their workplace affair public in November — when they were both still married to their spouses.
They were both suspended in December by ABC News parent company Disney, after ABC president Kim Godwin declined to discipline the pair.
Sources tell Page Six that Robach, who is white, got significantly more in her severance package than Holmes, who is Biracial, because she was there longer than he was.
Robach joined ABC News in 2012, while Holmes was hired in 2014.
Specific details of the settlement remain a closely guarded secret. But another insider explained: “Amy’s been at ABC a lot longer and has a much bigger contract [than T.J.].”
She also pulled double duty, co-hosting “GMA3” with Holmes and also appearing on news magazine “20/20” — a role sources told us she “worked really hard to get.” Source
So far, neither Robach nor Holmes have received job offers.
