" According to sources close to the situation, several staffers witnessed the incident, leading to Marciano's dismissal.

The Daily Beast revealed that the altercation between Marciano and the producer was said to be the "last straw" for the meteorologist. This incident, combined with his history of questionable workplace behavior, prompted chief meteorologist Ginger Zee to bring the matter to the attention of higher-ups at ABC. Zee allegedly encouraged the producer to speak to management and followed up to ensure that Marciano faced consequences for his actions.

One of the concerns raised about Marciano's behavior was his tendency to "overshare" details about his divorce with female staffers, making them feel uncomfortable in the workplace. Marciano and his wife, Eryn Marciano, finalized their divorce in 2023 after 12 years of marriage, and the journalist's personal issues seemed to have spilled over into his professional life. This behavior had previously been brought up in complaints against him.

Page Six had previously reported in March 2023 that Marciano had displayed a "cranky and angry" demeanor on set amid his divorce proceedings. It appears that tensions between Marciano and Zee had been simmering for years, as their personalities clashed. Sources divulged that Marciano's displeasure with management decisions often led to visible changes in his body language and tone, especially when he received news he didn't like.

It is worth noting that this is not the first time Marciano has faced consequences for his conduct. In 2022, he was temporarily taken off the air after making a colleague uncomfortable. Sources revealed that he was banned from Times Square Studios for months and had to provide weather reports from different locations.

ABC's decision to terminate Marciano's employment came one year after this incident. The network, owned by Disney, did not want his behavior to distract from the work of the "GMA" team, which executive producer Simone Swink was very protective of. The details of when Marciano was allowed back into the building are unclear, but the reunion was evidently short-lived.

As of now, representatives for Rob Marciano and ABC News have not responded to requests for comment regarding this recent development. The firing of Marciano marks the end of his decade-long tenure at ABC, sparking conversations about workplace behavior in the news industry.
