Don Lemon’s Misogyny at CNN, Exposed: Malicious Texts, Mocking Female Co-Workers and ‘Diva-Like Behavior’
Variety ^ | 5 Apr 2023 | Tatiana Siegel

Back in 2008, Don Lemon was co-anchoring CNN’s “Live From” weekday show with Kyra Phillips, a gig that he landed after he arrived at the network two years prior from local news in Chicago. For months, tensions between the pair kept mounting. On more than one occasion, a “Live From” producer and a newsroom supervisor had to pull Lemon off the air during a commercial break because of the anchor’s provocative antics, not unlike his recent declaration that the 51-year-old Nikki Haley isn’t a viable presidential candidate because she “isn’t in her prime.” Amid the charged atmosphere, sources say Lemon disrespected colleague Nancy Grace on the air and Soledad O’Brien during an editorial meeting attended by roughly 30 staffers.

But his antipathy toward Phillips was particularly concerning and had many members of the close-knit Atlanta news team on edge. While Phillips was on assignment in Iraq — a high-profile gig that Lemon coveted — he vented his disappointment at being passed over by tearing up pictures and notes on top of and inside Phillips’ desk in the news pod they shared, according to two sources who worked there at the time. When she returned from Iraq, things only got weirder. One night while dining with members of the news team, she received the first of two threatening text messages from an unknown number on her flip phone that warned, “Now you’ve crossed the line, and you’re going to pay for it.” Phillips was visibly rattled and quickly enlisted CNN’s higher ups to identify the sender. Remarkably, the texts were traced back to Lemon, according to those same sources. A human resources investigation was launched... Lemon was abruptly pulled from his co-anchor duties with Phillips and moved to the weekends...

Faggots don’t like women. There’s no mystery there.

TRUTH.

I worked with many in the airline industry and was actually scared of several of them. I was assaulted by one who was furious that the first officer (a friend of my husband) was going out for a beer with me instead of going to his hotel room. Yep- he openly propositioned the first officer (who was happily married to a woman) and viewed me as the obstacle that was preventing a sexual romp with him.

I tried to complain but my supervisor was gay and I was shut down. So many I worked with were awesome but the ones I flew with who hated women gave me Buffalo Bill vibes. As does Don Lemon.

I can’t believe the women of CNN put up with Don Le’Mon’s diva like behavior. It’s repulsive.

When I look at that picture of Donnie Lemondrop all I see is a head with one side CL and the other side IS... the first thing that came to mind was Clitoris. Donnie Lemondrop the biggest cl😐is on the show. Who’s the real diva? Why Donnie Lemondrop of course.
