โ€œGood Morning Americaโ€ anchor Michael Strahan has reportedly come under fire at his job for refusing to cut short a vacation in Greece to join ABCโ€™s Hurricane Harvey coverage.

Strahan, a Houston native, was โ€œsomewhere on a yacht in Greeceโ€ when ABC executives asked him to return early to cover the tragedy that occurred in his hometown, but he declined, the New York Postโ€™s Page Six reported.

Executives from the networkโ€™s news division are โ€œreally upset with him,โ€ a source told Page Six.

A representative for Strahan said ABC executives didnโ€™t ask him to return from his vacation, and that he is headed to Houston and will help any way that he can when he returns to the air Tuesday.
