“At first I was actually like, ‘Good on Good Morning America. They say they’re not taking her off the air. It’s two consenting adults,'” King said during the Dec. 8 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen when asked about the scandal. “But the more you read, the messier it gets.”
The CBS This Morning host explained that the controversy got even “sloppy” over Robach and Holmes’ respective children. “I think for me it’s just a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved, you’ve got families involved, and I keep thinking about it,” she added. “I’m very concerned about that.”

Why is that offensive to people?” Stern wondered during the December 5 episode of his SiriusXM radio show. “People say they should be fired. I’m like, ‘Really? Why should they be fired?’ So someone said to me, ‘Oh, they should report it to HR.’ And that’s a little unrealistic for me.”
