A storm is brewing at Good Morning America as chief meteorologist Ginger Zee and longtime host Lara Spencer quietly battle for the attention of the show’s queen bee Robin Roberts, insiders share.
“Both women are strong-willed,” one ABC insider says diplomatically. “And when they think someone’s stepping in their lane, they get territorial.”

Sources tell Straight Shuter that Zee and Spencer’s relationship has grown icier due to their mutual admiration for Roberts.
“Everyone wants to be Robin’s favorite,” another staffer says.
During commercial breaks, the studio temperature plunges, claims one control room veteran.
Meanwhile, another source says, “Lara and Ginger both want story ownership, and there’s only so much spotlight.”
Insiders say executives are quietly panicking behind the scenes. A network strategist warns, “A morning show needs harmony.”
