Lara Spencer’s Leave Has ‘GMA’ Insiders Gleeful

Lara Spencer is spending less time on "Good Morning America" — and that's reportedly good news for disgruntled staffers at the ABC morning show!

Lara first leaked the news about her schedule shift a couple weeks ago, claiming she’s stepping back to grow her lifestyle brand and production company. But a National ENQUIRER source said that network bigwigs were behind downsizing her appearances to only three days a week — with the New York Post's "Page Six" claiming the crew is cheering because they think Spencer is a witch!

“She treats staff badly,” an insider dished to the Post. “She yells, and she makes a lot of extra work for people.” Meanwhile, a media analyst told The ENQUIRER that Lara is “no longer considered a draw for viewers,” and is being sidelined while ABC pumps up GMA stars Michael Strahan and Robin Roberts.

“ABC has to do what they can to attract an audience,” added the insider. An ABC rep, however, told the Post that there wasn't any turmoil behind the scenes, saying: “This is ridiculous. She is the ultimate team player. Lara decided to cut back her hours on GMA to focus on her production company.”
