Rob Marciano’s departure from ABC News in April 2024, after almost a decade with the network, stirred speculation about the reasons behind it. Reports suggested that his exit from “Good Morning America” could be linked to allegations of anger issues. This issue had been ongoing for some time. Throughout 2022, viewers noted Marciano’s absence from the “GMA” Times Square Studios, with him only reporting from outdoor locations.
In March 2023, Page Six reported that Marciano had been banned from the studio due to alleged inappropriate behavior towards a colleague. Sources claimed that he had engaged in improper conduct and was subsequently disciplined but not allowed to return. The behavior was partly attributed to his divorce. Marciano’s wife, Eryn, filed for divorce in June 2021, but the news only became public in July 2022. The stress from his marital issues reportedly affected his behavior at work. He began oversharing details of his divorce with female colleagues, making them uncomfortable, as reported by The Daily Beast in May 2024.

Sources mentioned that Zee’s behavior could sometimes be difficult as well, resulting in clashes between the two strong personalities. Reports indicated that Marciano struggled to control his emotions when faced with disagreements, often displaying visible signs of discomfort.
