Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesBefore he was kicked to the curb by ABC News following a “heated screaming match” with a Good Morning America producer, star meteorologist Rob Marciano had been suspended by the network for at least a month and forced to take anger management classes after making inappropriate comments to a female producer in 2022.
According to four sources familiar with the matter, during a contentious interaction with a GMA producer two years ago, Marciano made sexist remarks during the exchange, only to later claim he was actually referencing his soon-to-be ex-wife and not his female colleague.
Marciano was then pulled off the air for weeks and made to take an anger management course, the sources say. GMA’s executive producer Simone Swink, however, refused to let Marciano back on the show following his suspension due to this outburst and complaints that he might make other staffers uncomfortable. Marciano was eventually allowed to reappear on GMA and deliver weather updates to the show’s audience—but only from other studios or the field.
