Liz Cho allegedly lashed out as Elliott prepared his daughter’s lunch, exclaiming that the grapes were hers and he was not permitted to put them in the child’s lunch.
Josh Elliott, 54, filed for divorce on June 20, almost a decade after he and Cho, 55, tied the knot on July 11, 2015. Elliott was looking for “an equitable distribution of all property, both real and personal,” while Cho also stated their marriage “has broken down irretrievably” in a cross-complaint filed against Elliott.
Elliott and Cho met while they were working at ABC and dated for two years before he proposed to her in August 2014.
The pair had been married nearly a decade when Elliott filed.
Cho requested all correspondence between Elliott and “any person, other than the defendant, with whom [Elliott] have or have had a romantic and/or sexual relationship, from July 11, 2015 to the present” in her November 2025 filing. Cho also requested “monthly checking account statements” along with documents regarding his travel history from January 2020.
Elliott pushed back hard.
Elliott objected to Cho’s request, stating, “the time frame of the request for production is unreasonable, unnecessary, harassing and not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.”
An insider defended Elliott’s position.
An insider told Page Six this is all “standard in a divorce,” while also insisting “there is no evidence Elliott had a relationship with anyone outside the marriage.”
The dispute over discovery turned into a fight over the home itself.
The divorce battle heated up in January when Cho filed a motion for contempt against Elliott, claiming he moved a “significant amount of furniture and furnishings from the marital residence,” along with their “two Portuguese Water dogs,” who she claims were “supposed to stay in the marital residence.” She also said some of her jewelry was missing.
In the court docs, the “Eyewitness News” anchor explained how Elliott arranged for a moving truck to come to the marital residence while she was on a vacation with her daughter from a previous marriage on Jan. 19.
Cho alleged specific losses.
On Tuesday, January 6, Cho realized that she was missing a valuable watch and earrings from her jewelry bag.
Elliott denied everything.
Elliott responded to Cho’s filing, calling her allegations “false and inflammatory.” He called the claim about the jewelry an allegation “made without evidence, without corroboration and without even a good-faith attempt to verify the truth.”
His attorney painted a different picture.
He did not damage the property, did not render the residence uninhabitable, and removed limited personal property and furnishings so he would have a safe haven from Cho’s “escalating and erratic behavior.”
Elliott then launched his own accusations.
He claimed Cho “monitor[ed] and listen[ed] to [his] private phone calls,” “rifl[ed] through [his] personal belongings and closet” and “engag[ed] in a consistent pattern of false accusations and manufactured crisis.”
He added another charge.
Elliott indicated his daughter was targeted, accusing Cho of “locking doors and shutting off lights on [his] teenage daughter in the evening when it was 14 degrees outside.”
The grapes incident emerged in court documents filed in April.
According to Elliott’s court filings, obtained by Page Six on Thursday (April 2), he claimed that Cho once yelled at him for packing grapes in his daughter’s school lunch. The filing states that Cho “lash[ed] out” at Elliott “while he was washing grapes for his daughter’s lunch, exclaiming that the grapes were hers and he was not permitted to put them in the child’s lunch.” This argument is said to have taken place “within earshot of the child,” per the filings.
Elliott and Cho each have a daughter from a previous relationship: Sabrina, 17, and Louisa, 19, respectively.
In the viral moment that became public in March 2026, the split between the former TV anchors showed the depth of their breakdown. Elliott worked on ABC’s Good Morning America from 2011 to 2014, and joined CBS News in 2016, serving as the lead anchor for its digital news service CBSN, before being fired a year later after announcing on air that he would be leaving CBSN. Cho has worked for ABC since 2003, serving as an anchor on Eyewitness News and also serving as a correspondent and fill-in anchor for Good Morning America.
A court hearing is scheduled for March 20.
