DIVORCES don’t usually come with cliffhangers — but Liz Cho’s is now serving them.

The WABC-TV anchor has suffered a fresh setback in her divorce from Josh Elliott, her ex and a former CBS anchor, as the split continues to play out in what’s been described as nasty terms.

Cho and Elliott are both familiar faces to news viewers, which gives the case an extra jolt of interest: this isn’t just a private relationship unravelling, it’s two on-air professionals navigating a very off-air problem. And when a divorce is framed as hostile, every new development lands with a sharper thud.

What’s striking here is how quickly the story shifts from “they’ve separated” to “there are blows being traded”. A setback for one side suggests momentum — and momentum is exactly what people watch for in a dispute like this, especially when the names involved are publicly recognisable.

The result is an uncomfortable sort of spotlight: the kind that doesn’t care about nuance, only about who’s up and who’s down. In celebrity-adjacent splits, a single reported blow can become the whole narrative, even when the real story is undoubtedly more complicated than a headline.

For now, the takeaway is simple: Cho has taken a hit in a divorce that’s already being talked about in combative language — and the public’s appetite for neat winners and losers rarely does anyone any favours.
