The former ABC staffer, who Page Six has confirmed is Ashley Bianco, 25, has recorded an interview with Kelly which will air on the former Fox News star’s YouTube channel, her Instagram and IGTV Friday.
Bianco, who worked as a producer on “Good Morning America” for three years until last month, was fired from CBS News on Thursday after the network was told by ABC that she had allegedly leaked the video of a frustrated Robach describing how execs had nixed her interview with Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts to curry favor with the British royal family. Robach is seen saying, “We were so afraid we weren’t be able to interview Kate and Will that we … quashed the story … It was unbelievable what we had, Clinton … I tried for three years to get it on [air].”
Robach’s hot mic comments were never intended for air and ABC News execs suspect Bianco cut the clip and took it before she left for CBS on October 28. Insiders say they were able to determine from internal logs that the tape was accessed and edited at a specific time and date from Bianco’s former workstation. It was leaked to Project Veritas who posted the video on Tuesday.
Kelly, 48, teased her Bianco interview Friday morning by joining Instagram, where she said, “We got the full story and you are going to be fascinated by it.” This is Kelly’s first big comeback since she left NBC last year after her controversial blackface comments and sources say Bianco approached Kelly.
Bianco did not immediately respond to calls and emails for comment.
