Megyn Kelly criticizes Amy Robach and TJ Holmes' 'soap opera' romance podcast that she believes is doomed
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Media personality Megyn Kelly did not mince words while expressing her thoughts on former 'Good Morning America' hosts TJ Holmes and Amy Robach's new podcast that Kelly compared to a "soap opera."
As the pair hosts their podcast, 'Amy and T.J. Podcast' the journalist attacked them as "so unlikeable" in the Friday, January 26 edition of 'The Megyn Kelly Show' podcast.
Megyn Kelly dubs TJ Holmes and Amy Robach's podcast as 'soap opera'
On the most recent episode of her Sirius XM program, Kelly responded to Holmes and Robach's podcast, where they discuss their relationship after their covert affair while co-hosting 'GMA3' at ABC was revealed.
Slamming the former 'GMA' hosts, Kelly stated during her podcast: "I find them so unlikeable - he's an a**. So Tuesday of this week, they decided to drop a podcast in the middle of an argument, of a fight they were having."
"She's victimized at everything. She can't believe all the work she has to do now as a podcaster. She's used to somebody doing this for her, it’s stressful!" Kelly continued.
She surmised, "I guarantee you these people work three hours a day. Okay, nurses are on their feet eight to 12 hours a day dealing with sick bodily functions. They actually have to work to put food on their tables."
Kelly further stressed: "These are both millionaires. Just stop. No one feels sorry for you. Then they were saying, 'We don't want people to think we're the perfect couple'. We don’t, don’t worry."
Kelly said alluding to Homes and Robach's podcast: "This thing is like a soap opera… You won't be surprised given how their relationship appears to have begun. It doesn't seem like it's doing very well."
Kelly's guest, right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, also offered his opinion, labeling the couple as "nauseatingly selfish," per Daily Mail, and chastised Holmes for calling his girlfriend and co-host by her last name on the program.
"He periodically calls her by her last name ... like [he's] coaching her in a basketball game," added Kirk, "Like I'm a big market guy. I'm a big competitor."
Kirk further seethed: "I can't imagine people on their commute to work turning that on while they're sitting in traffic on the 405. Maybe I'm wrong, but uh, podcasting is a ruthless business."

TJ Holmes and Amy Robach opened up about struggles in podcast
Robach, 50, and Holmes, 46, addressed their hardships in a recent episode of 'Amy and T.J.' podcast. Robach even choked up thinking back on the "pressure" she felt working with Holmes after their jobs were "unfairly" taken away.
Amid a tense and turbulent 2023, Holmes and Roach opened up about excessive drinking in a recent episode of their latest podcast.
They disclosed that they had since decided to take part in Dry January after Holmes claimed he could "easily go through 18 drinks" per day.
Early in 2023, Robach and Holmes' prominent posts at ABC were eliminated following the revelation of their office romance.
The couple made a comeback in the media by starting their podcast in December 2023. However, by January 6, they had fallen to the 243rd position, reportedly from their position in the top 5 of all podcasts upon debut, per OK! Magazine.
Despite having been married to their respective spouses for over a decade, the couple had been engrossed in a passionate romance.
Insiders reveal that it was in June 2022, if not earlier, when Holmes and Robach became close and said, "when they were in London together filming the Queen's Diamond Jubilee for ABC and staff were buzzing about the intimacy between them."
Following the revelation of their romance controversy, they were subsequently let off from their positions at GMA in January 2023.
