Don Lemon has taken issue with a report in Variety about alleged inappropriate and “diva-like” behavior. While the “CNN This Morning” co-anchor was criticized for a comment he made on February 16 about former Governor of South Carolina Nikki Haley being “past her prime,” the new claims date back 15 years. One alleged incident involved Lemon suggesting Soledad O’Brien shouldn’t have gotten the job co-hosting CNN’s “Black in America” because she wasn’t Black; another had Lemon making a threatening phone call to a female co-anchor. “Don says the alleged incidents never occurred,” said a CNN spokesperson. “CNN cannot corroborate the alleged events from 15 years ago.” Lemon called the report “reckless” and based on “15-year-old anonymous gossip.”
