Still-suspended “GMA3” co-host T.J. Holmes had a suspected in-office romp with another junior staffer, a source exclusively tells Page Six.
The second woman — whose identity we have chosen not to disclose — has yet to respond to our numerous requests for comment.
Our source tells us she was in her mid-20s and worked as an overnight associate producer at ABC at the time of the alleged encounter.
Holmes, now 45, and the staffer, who is no longer with the network, were allegedly in his office sometime after 3 a.m. with the door closed.
We’re told “a bunch of rustling” could be heard coming from inside the room and that the woman emerged looking “completely flush” and like “a deer in headlights.”
It is unclear whether the staffer ever reported the alleged encounter to HR.
The still-suspended “GMA3” co-host was previously accused of having sex with a 24-year-old script coordinator at the time, Jasmin Pettaway.

“He was in a position of power over her,” our source tells us.
“I do think it was like a, ‘Here’s this good-looking younger girl, and she’s here in my office, let me make a move’ sort of thing,” the insider adds, describing the situation as “similar” to Pettaway’s.
Reps for Holmes declined to comment, and ABC did not immediately respond to Page Six’s inquiries.

Last week, a source who was reportedly close with Pettaway, a 24-year-old script coordinator at the time, alleged to DailyMail.com that the first time Holmes “got sexual” with her was “in his office” — only a “couple of hours” before he was set to go live on air.
“They had sex, and I know she was confused afterwards as to what it meant,” the source claimed, calling Holmes “a predator who took full advantage of his position.”
Holmes’ affair with his “GMA3” co-anchor, Amy Robach, was revealed in November 2022.

Reps for Holmes declined to comment on the Pettaway allegations, while an ABC insider previously told Page Six that there was “already an internal investigation underway into if anything happened between T.J. and Jasmin Pettaway.”
Pettaway did not return our calls.
Holmes’ workplace behavior first made headlines in November 2022 when his months-long affair with his then-married “GMA3” co-anchor, Amy Robach, was revealed.
After the network launched an investigation into the nature of the colleagues’ relationship, it was reported that Holmes allegedly had romances with other employees, including married producer Natasha Singh.
“[Holmes] and Amy are equals,” our insider noted last week, “but if he did have an affair with an underling, that is a definite case for his dismissal.”
Though Holmes and Robach are currently dating, she was reportedly “blindsided” by “the scope of T.J.’s alleged past office romances.”

King Charles evicts disgraced Prince Andrew from Buckingham Palace

King Charles has sensationally sent his disgraced brother Prince Andrew packing, according to reports.
The scandal-scarred royal, who was famously stripped of his royal and military honors by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, has been told to find a new place to live immediately, the Sun reports.
“The king has made it clear that Buckingham Palace is no place for Prince Andrew,” a source told the outlet of the decision, which comes just months before King Charles III’s coronation, set for May 6.
Andrew, who has had his back against the wall since his alleged friendship with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein came to light, has been told “there is no longer any place” for him at Buckingham Palace, the official royal residence.
A 10-year-long renovation, costing upward of $400 million, is reportedly due to take place at the palace, which includes Andrew’s suite, known as the Chamber Floor.

“First his office closed last year and now his sleeping quarters,” the insider told the Sun. “Andrew loved having a suite at Buckingham Palace, where he was not only set up for marital life with Sarah Ferguson but used it as a bachelor’s pad after his divorce.”
“He brought back a string of new girlfriends to his home in the palace — even model Caprice. A bachelor’s flat in St James’ Palace doesn’t have the same allure for a single man,” the source added.
If Andrew wishes to stay in London, King Charles has reportedly told him that his only other option is his other royal residence, St. James’.
Andrew also shares a 31-room Royal Lodge mansion in Windsor with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.
The eviction serves as a fresh blow to Andrew, who was kicked out of his Buckingham Palace office last year.
“Any presence at the palace is officially over,” a source told the outlet in December. “The king has made it clear. He isn’t a working royal. He’s on his own.”
Andrew, who was barred from using his HRH (“His Royal Highness”) moniker following his association with pedophile Epstein, also lost his patronages last year.
While he is still a Royal Knight of the Garter and a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, he was told face to face by his mother that he would no longer be known as His Royal Highness.
The monarch, who was 94 when she died in September, broke the news to the father of two at Windsor Castle in January last year. That same month, she also took away his military titles.
“With the Queen’s approval and agreement, the Duke of York’s military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement at the time.
The retraction of Andrew’s official royal labels came amid his sexual assault case filed by Virginia Giuffre, who has long claimed that Epstein made her have “disgusting” sex with the royal three times, starting in 2001 when she was just 17.
Andrew’s lawyers say he “unequivocally denies Giuffre’s false allegations against him.” He settled the case out of court for an undisclosed sum last February.
Epstein died (was suicided) behind bars in 2019 while awaiting trial on child sex-trafficking charges.
