Currently, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding Jasmin Pettaway, the former intern at ABC who has been accused of having an affair with the American journalist and national TV personality, T.J Holmes.
In a new report by dailymail.co.uk, T.J Holmes engaged in an affair with a script coordinator 13 years younger than him.
According to dailymail.co.uk source who spoke on condition of anonymity, the affair with then 24-year-old Jasmin Pettaway, took place in 2015 when Holmes had been married to his now-estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig, for five years.
According to the source, who claims to know Pettaway, she was looking for a mentor in the business, but things eventually turned sexual — despite the fact Holmes was still married to Marilee Fiebig.

She was looking for a mentor and she reached out to several people,” spilled the insider. “T.J was someone who was responsive, but he absolutely abused the position of trust.”
