Longtime ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is said to be 'miserable' at the network after it paid President Donald Trump a $16 million settlement over his remarks about the president.
Stephanopoulos erroneously claimed on-air that the president-elect was found 'liable for rape' - rather than the correct phrasing of sexual abuse - against writer E. Jean Carroll in March.
Trump sued Stephanopoulos and the network for defamation soon after the segment aired, accusing the anchor of making the statements with 'malice' and a disregard for the truth.
As part of the settlement, Stephanopoulos was forced to issue a public apology.
He has since isolated himself at the network, insiders told the New York Post, with some suggesting he may be out of a job by the summer.
'George seems miserable,' one source said.
'He's definitely gone. He's a dead man walking for sure.'
Others, though, said Stephanopoulos could remain at the network in a lower-profile way, possibly working on film and television projects.
