David Muir, a reporter for ABC News, found himself at the center of a fashion faux pas when viewers spotted clothespins fastening his bright yellow jacket during a report on the wildfires in Los Angeles. The incident raised eyebrows, as many felt it was inappropriate to focus on appearance amid a serious disaster. Following this mishap, Muir was seen in a better-fitting jacket. Surprisingly, former “Good Morning America” co-anchors TJ Holmes and Amy Robach came forward to defend him, despite their controversial past.

ABC News anchor David Muir is being mocked on social media as “pathetic” and “narcissistic” for using clamps to cinch his flame-retardant jacket while broadcasting from the scene of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
Following the negative attention, Holmes speculated that Muir may not have realized the pins were there, suggesting possible wardrobe mismanagement by someone backstage. He noted that in live reporting situations, anchors are often caught off guard. While he praised Muir’s dedication to his work, he also admitted he would never have made such a blunder himself.
Robach, who hasn’t always chosen the most suitable outfits for work, emphasized the importance of avoiding excessive glam while reporting. Given their histories, Muir might reconsider who he chooses as his allies in times like these.

Perhaps Muir should consider reaching out to different friends for support beyond Holmes and Robach. Their attempt to defend him felt more like an afterthought, given their personal dramas that led to their exit from “Good Morning America.” Following their controversial departure, the pair leveraged their situation to launch a podcast titled “Amy & TJ.” Muir may find it hard to accept their support when they are themselves on shaky ground.
Despite their tumultuous relationship, Holmes and Robach continue to insert themselves into conversations where they may not be welcome. Muir, likely keen to move past this wardrobe debacle, might feel overshadowed by their need to capitalize on his situation. It’s time for all involved to redirect their attention to the ongoing wildfire crisis in Los Angeles and support the affected communities.
