They were once the golden couple of network news. A powerhouse duo from ABC and CBS who seemed to have it all. But today, the cameras are turned on them for all the wrong reasons. I’m talking about former CBS anchor Josh Elliott and Eyewitness News star Liz Cho.
After a decade of marriage, things haven’t just ended—they’ve exploded into a vicious legal war involving allegations of ‘ransacking,’ missing jewelry, and even the family dogs.
It all started in June 2025 when Josh Elliott officially filed for divorce in Connecticut, claiming the marriage was ‘irretrievably broken.’ But if you thought this would be a quiet split, think again. By November, Liz Cho fired back with a cross-complaint that raised some serious eyebrows.
She isn’t just looking for property; she’s looking for receipts. Cho’s legal team demanded every email, text, and even WeChat message between Elliott and any person he might have had a romantic relationship with dating all the way back to 2015. She’s also asking for an accounting of every dollar spent on anyone outside the marriage—including travel, hotels, and even limousine bills. Elliott’s response? He called the request ‘harassing’ and ‘unreasonable.’
Fast forward to January 2026, and things took a turn for the cinematic. While Liz was on vacation with her daughter, she claims Elliott arranged for a moving truck to show up at their shared home. When she returned, she alleged a ‘significant amount’ of furniture was gone—along with their two Portuguese Water dogs!

But the accusations didn’t stop at furniture. Cho filed a motion for contempt, claiming a valuable watch and earrings went missing from her jewelry bag. Elliott, however, isn’t staying silent. He fired back, calling her claims ‘patently false’ and ‘inflammatory.’ He says he didn’t ‘ransack’ anything—he simply moved enough items to create a ‘safe haven’ for himself and his child, describing the home environment as ‘hostile’ and ‘erratic.’
This battle comes at a sensitive time for Elliott. After his high-profile exit from CBS in 2017—where he was reportedly escorted out by security—he’s finally eyeing a TV comeback. Rumors are swirling that he’s in the running to join Gayle King on CBS Mornings. But will this messy courtroom drama affect his return to the anchor desk?
With a major court hearing scheduled for March 20th, both sides are digging in. Liz wants sanctions; Josh wants the claims dismissed. It’s a sad chapter for a couple that began their journey so publicly at ABC over ten years ago.
What do you think about this fallout? Is this just standard divorce procedure, or has it crossed the line?
