ABC anchor Amy Robach is walking back a leaked rant against the network for not airing her Jeffrey Epstein story, saying she was "caught in a private moment of frustration."

In a video posted by James O'Keefe's right-wing group Project Veritas Tuesday, Robach appears to complain that an interview she conducted in 2015 with Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre didn't make it to air. Giuffre claims she was forced to perform sex acts with Prince Andrew when she was 17, and Robach seems to suggest in the video that ABC "quashed the story" partially because it feared "we wouldn't be able to interview" Kate Middleton and Prince William for other stories if it ran. Prince Andrew has denied Giuffre's allegation.
