Longtime ABC News business affairs chief Barbara Fedida is leaving the division following an internal investigation into racist remarks made about on-air talent, including "Good Morning America" star Robin Roberts.

Parent company Walt Disney Co. announced Fedida's departure Monday in memo to employees from Walt Disney Television Chairman Peter Rice, which was obtained by The Times.

"The investigation substantiated that Ms. Fedida did make some of the unacceptable racially insensitive comments attributed to her," Rice said. "It also substantiated that Ms. Fedida managed in a rough manner and, on occasion, used crass and inappropriate language."

Rice also said "the investigation found no basis for the claims that Ms. Fedida was the subject of dozens of HR complaints and that ABC News spent millions of dollars in confidential settlements related to Ms. Fedida, as alleged in some press accounts."

Fedida has been on administrative leave since June 13 after publication of a HuffPost report that recounted a discussion about the contract of “Good Morning America” co-host Roberts in which the executive allegedly said the network was not asking Roberts to “pick cotton.”

Fedida also allegedly used the term “low rent” to describe Sunny Hostin, a Black co-host on “The View.” In discussing the value to the network of former Black correspondent Kendis Gibson, she allegedly said ABC News would spend more money on toilet paper.

The HuffPost story also said there have been settlements with former ABC News employees who complained about Fedida’s behavior.

I had heard that Sonny was going to quit The View if Fedita was kept onboard.
