Rumors swirled in August 2021 that Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos may not actually be as close as they appear on-screen when Daily Beast claimed the two supposedly had falling out over the way ABC handled sexual assault allegations that were made against former “Good Morning America” executive producer Michael Corn. It was claimed Stephanopoulos had allegedly been aware of the allegations for a while, as the accuser worked in his team, while Roberts was apparently really not happy about the situation at all — and made that clear on a conference call with her colleagues. “If this happened to someone on my team, I would have burned the place down,” she purportedly said, which it was suggested may have been a dig at Stephanopoulos for allegedly not doing more with his knowledge. But, not so fast, according to ABC News. A spokesperson denied Roberts was making a dig at her co-star, hitting back, “[Roberts] 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.”
As for the lawsuit, Deadline reported in October 2021 that Corn filed to have the lawsuit dismissed, and Los Angeles Times confirmed in June it had been dismissed. According to The Sun, though, the woman who made the allegations filed an appeal.
But that wasn’t the only time it was hinted there may be tension between Roberts and Stephanopoulos.
