Good Morning America star George Stephanopoulos has caused more feud rumors about his alleged 'cold' relationship with co-star Robin Roberts.
Stephanopoulos would rather play chess on his phone instead of even looking at his colleague Roberts during off-air moments on the tense set, according to Breaker Media.
Breaker says that the culture at ABC News, which GMA broadcasts, is 'mysterious and cold'.
Stephanopoulos had previously reported that he argued with World News Tonight star David Muir.
Anyway, well -connected media journalist Oliver Darcy told DailyMail.com that Muir won VeGe, as well as high reviews and compliments for ABC's flagship news show.
An ABC spokesperson said: “This is unfounded, ridiculous gossip designed to get clicks and nothing more.”
In the meantime, another source told DailyMail.com that Stephanopoulos and Robins actually have 'a great relationship on the set and behind the scenes'.
It has been a difficult year for Stephanopoulos, who is said to be 'miserable' in the network after the Donald Trump had paid for a settlement of $ 16 million on his comments about the president.

Stephanopoulos wrongly claimed on -Air that the chosen president was 'liable for rape' – instead of the correct phrasing of sexual abuse – against writer E. Jean Carroll in March.
Trump sued Stephanopoulos and the network for defamation shortly after the segment was broadcast, and accused the anchor of making the statements with 'malice' and a contempt for the truth.
As part of the settlement, Stephanopoulos was forced to issue a public apology.
Since then he has isolated himself on the network, insiders told the New York Post, with some that he might be out of a job in the summer.
“George seems miserable,” said a source.
“He's definitely gone. He is definitely a dead man walking. '
However, others said Stephanopoulos could stay in the network in a lower way, possibly working on film and television projects.
Yet another source denied the claims that Stephanopoulos is on the road.
“This is nonsense,” the Niet -Geidified Source told the New York Post. 'Everyone who looks at GMA can see that he is involved, all-in and as committed as always.
“He is happy to be here.”

The former Bill Clinton assistant has even signed a multi-year contract extension with the Disney network.
He reportedly received $ 20 million a year this week in his current contract for hosting Good Morning America and Sunday News Staple this week, as well as the production of documentaries.
But sources have said that the new contract has a wage reduction of its $ 20-25 million a year and the possibility that his role will eventually be reduced.
They also noted that a contract renewal is not necessarily an obstacle to expanding Stephanopoulos, which has been with the network since 1997.
“It's the Disney way,” said an old former Disney director.
“Signing your contract again, they will move you.”
On Tuesday, dissatisfied staff of ABC News was called in a meeting where the new boss of the Almin Karamehmedovic network announced major changes and was asked for the ready-made when asked for further redundancies.
Many employees were recently left in the dark after Brutal Layoffs had 'stripped' their newsroom.
ABC News is not the only network against problems. MSNBC Axed Joy Reid's Show about falling reviews and relegated its stars as part of widespread cuts.
The Rachel Maddow star group was forced to make a wage reduction, from $ 30 million per year for one show per week to $ 25 million a year.
