TJ Holmes accused of allegedly playing with another junior employee in office
Still-suspended “GMA3” co-host TJ Holmes has been accused of allegedly flirting with another junior employee in the office.
The source only told Page Six that the alleged meeting took place in 2015, the same year Holmes, who was married at the time, allegedly had a month-long affair with his subordinate, Jasmin Pettaway, with whom he allegedly had had sex in the office.
We have chosen not to identify the other woman at this time, and she has not responded to our repeated requests for comment.
However, our sources tell us she was around 24 or 25 when the alleged connection happened and was an overnight co-producer.
Holmes and an employee we are told is no longer with the ABC were allegedly in his office after 3am with the door closed.
We were told a “rustling sound” could be heard and that the woman looked “completely blushing” like a “deer under a headlight”.
While our sources don’t know if the employee ever reported the alleged encounter to human resources, they say Holmes, 45, has authority over her.
Asked if they believed Holmes was abusing said power at the time, our source replied: “I have to think so, yes.”
“I think it’s like, ‘Here’s a beautiful young girl, she’s in my office, let me make a move,’ our source said, describing the situation as ‘Pettaway-like.’
Representatives for Holmes and ABC did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Last week, it was reported that a source close to Pettaway, the then 24-year-old script coordinator, According to DailyMail.com The first time Holmes “had sex” with her was in “his office” – just “a few hours” before the live broadcast began.
“They had sex and I know she was later confused about what that meant,” the source said, calling Holmes “a predator who took full advantage of his position.”
Holmes officials declined to comment on Pettaway’s allegations, while an ABC insider previously told Page Six that “an internal investigation has been conducted into whether anything happened between TJ and Jasmin Pettaway.”
Pettaway didn’t answer our calls.
Holmes’ workplace behavior first hit the headlines in November 2022 when his month-long affair with “GMA3” co-star Amy Robach was revealed.
After the network began investigating the nature of the co-worker’s relationship, it was reported that Holmes had allegedly had affairs with at least two other employees, including married producer Natasha Singer.
“[Holmes] Equal to Amy,” our whistleblower noted last week, “but if he had an affair with a subordinate, that was clear grounds for firing him. “
Although Holmes and Robbach are currently dating, she is reportedly “blind” and “aware” of “the extent of TJ’s alleged past office affairs.”
