Report: Don LeMon Screamed at Morning Show Co-Host Kaitlin Collins for "Interrupting Him," Sending Her Running Off the Set in Tears

Reportedly he's "difficult to work with" since he lost his solo show.

But wait -- he kept insisting his demotion to the morning show was really a promotion.

I guess not. I guess he lied about it being a promotion.

But that doesn't sound like the Don LeMon I know!

Tensions on the set of "CNN This Morning" have recently boiled over, with Don Lemon allegedly "screaming" at co-host Kaitlan Collins off-camera during an ugly December incident that has left the cast and crew rattled ever since, The Post has learned.
According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the 56-year-old Lemon approached 30-year-old Collins following the show's Thursday Dec. 8 broadcast -- and unloaded on her in front of staffers as he accused her of "interrupting" him on air.
"Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio," one source with knowledge of the skrimish said.
News of the explosive incident made its way up to CNN CEO Chris Licht, who is said to have been appalled by Lemon's behavior, according to a source. A second source said a producer talked to Lemon at the behest of Licht and told the anchor to take the next day off to "cool off."
...
"At this point, Kaitlan wants to be on set with Don as little as possible," a source with knowledge of the situation added. "It's messy."
Neither Lemon nor Collins responded to requests for comment.
A rep from CNN declined to comment on the incident...

Collins and Lemon, meanwhile, have been on set together less frequently since the purported dustup.
...
To address tensions, a second source told The Post that "Don has been given notes" by the show's producers "to not talk so much, to let other people talk."
"Don's a bossy guy and difficult to work with -- even he would admit that. He was a solo act before. He doesn't want to be in Destiny's Child," the source added, referring to the music group headlined by Beyoncé in the early aughts.
Others close to Lemon confirmed the former primetime anchor is "not happy" about sharing the limelight with Harlow and Collins.
"Don has an intractable ego," a source close to both Licht and Lemon said. "My understanding is he wants the show to be about him. I don't know how you fix that. It's a very difficult situation."
...
When news of the reshuffle broke, Lemon ripped reports that called the move a "demotion." In private, meanwhile, a Lemon confidant told The Post that he "didn't like" that Collins had worked for the right-leaning website The Daily Caller before her gig covering the Trump White House for CNN.

Don Lemon did in fact take off the day following the incident, with the cover story that he was just dealing with "exhaustion."

Below, video of Kaitlin Collins interrupting Don Lemon. Usually when someone indicates they want to say something, you would be quiet for a moment and let that person speak. Instead, Don Lemon bulls right over her.

She does "interrupt" him again -- but that's because he just won't let her say what she wants to say. He keeps babbling to show that he's the star here.

He just will not let her say the one or two sentences she wants to add.

Don LeMon has that look in his eyes like he's getting ready to fondle his sac and stick his fingers in someone's mouth.

"It's anchorman not anchorlady
and that is a scientific fact!"

Once again we see why liberal women hate men -- because they interact with liberal men, who are weaklings, cowards, bullies, and woman-haters.

How are Don LeMon's ratings?

Terrible, of course. This is Don LeMon we're talking about.

And you don't scream at your cohost when you're enjoying success.

CNN's Don Lemon-centered morning show suffers steady viewership decline through three months
'CNN This Morning' shed 18% of its tiny November audience during first month of 2023
CNN's morning show centered around Don Lemon has been on a steady ratings decline through its first three months, shedding additional viewers from its audience each time the calendar flips.
...
In November, "CNN This Morning" averaged an underwhelming 454,000 total viewers. The following month, it managed only 389,000 in December. "CNN This Morning" then dropped to 373,000 average viewers in January, shedding 18% of November's audience.
"New Day" averaged 413,000 daily viewers in 2022 before it was canceled to outdraw its Lemon-helmed replacement's January viewership by 10%.

An earlier report from The Wrap stated that LeMon was "frustrated" by the nigh-constant failures and humiliations that is his Sad Clown Life.

Licht hand-picked CNN's Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins to host the rebooted morning show. But so far that trio is failing to grow its audience. An individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap exclusively last week that EP Eric Hall was being reassigned to "CNN Tonight," hosted by Laura Coates, signaling that Licht is aware that the show needs to perform better.
Insiders also told TheWrap that even hosts Lemon, Harlow and Collins "seem to be growing frustrated" over the direction.

Fox notes that even Professional Unfunnyman Steven Colbert is now cracking jokes about Don LeMon dressing like the freshest, flyest lacrosse equipment manager at Lawrenceville Prep.

When LeMon was moved to mornings, I speculated that Licht didn't have the balls to fire a black gay guy. Megyn Kelly say that Don LeMon said on CNN during the transition "Don't fire me, I'm black and gay," just to make sure Licht knew he couldn't fire him. I didn't see that clip but I assume she's not inventing a slander.

So I speculated that Licht's plan was to give LeMon one last chance to either succeed or fail. And if he failed, Licht could then fire him, saying "I gave the black gay sexual assaulter a fair chance."

I think that speculation is looking good. And I think Don LeMon is on his way to a firing.

Velma is a self-insert for the writer, so we know exactly who Don appeals to...middle aged, liberal, bitter women that hate everything, subconsciously realize they're the reason they're miserable, but don't want to accept it.

As Spinal Tap would say, it's a very selective audience.

83 Speaking of interrupting, it just grates on me how Ainsley on the AM Fox show (Kilmead & Co) seems to always need to interject her $0.02. Not always a fan of Kilmead but his show can be something worth cruising past when Patriot or a good AM show has a long commercial break.

But Ainsley in particular seems so insecure about being left out of the mix that she just seems to pipe in random observations at random intervals, or just repeat what someone else just said while stepping on someone to do it. At this point as soon as I hear her voice I change the channel.

Except the boy couldn't have been more than like 14 years old. Clearly underage. And yet there they were, in public, hugging and kissing like it was normal behavior. Imagine if this was a middle-aged guy with a 14 year old girl. He'd be arrested before the next bus stop.

IF you have never read it, you should read "Hollywood Party", by Lloyd Billingsley. Very informative about Hollywood before and after WWII, and Communist Party influence, primarily through the unions.

178 One of my fond memories was an exchange I had with a woman from Australia who'd seen a contentious interview between Don Lemon and Sheriff Clarke. She *loved* Lemon. He was so refined and polished, so nice. She thought Sheriff Clarke shouldn't be allowed to give public statements because he was aggressive and harsh.

I think I called her on her racism and the fact that an assertive man with heavily African features scared her while the "refined" well spoken fellow with only slightly darkish pigment made her feel safe and assured.

But anyway, they're not going to give Lemon any consequences worth anything. They know who's bright white shiney hineys are polished by having him on the air.

I'm not a LCMS Moron and no absolutely nothing about it but I was interested in seeing what was happening, and the first random link led me here:

matthewcochran.net/blog/?p=778

Where this was said:

(discussing mentally ill people who are confused about whether they're male or female)

"Yes, there are Christians who suffer illness, injury, or deformity until the very end of their lives here on Earth. Yes, they need pastoral care regarding these thorns in the flesh. But why should that be preached as the expectation or the default on this issue when we pray that God would heal everyone else? Why would we teach hopelessness as a doctrine?

I'm not going to discuss the goings-on because, like I said, I haven't the slightest involvement. But I needed to see that sentence because it was an outstanding point. Thanks for bringing the topic up.

Women earn, on average, about 80% of what men earn, yet have to pay back the same crippling student loan debts. And there is the whole pink collar tax inequity thing. Read that interesting item in Gloria Steinem's "My Life On The Road" just now.

I am of Gloria steinem's generation. As much as we have worked to change that it is still the same.

Many people refuse to understand, or believe, how horrible the working environment is for women, to this day. I think about the fairy tale scene in "9To 5".

The "about 80%" is an average only, and possibly too high. It was about 71 when I was in the corporate world, raising hell. Non-white women still have it far worse.

--
Are you sure that isn't despair that is an excuse to do nothing?

If you are hoping for something, you have some expectation for a good/positive change.

Hope being a combination of the desire for something and expectation of receiving it. Now the rub comes in with whether your expectation is for a "gift" or whether you will have to do something before receipt.

The house brand Dr. Pepper knockoff was 79 cents a year ago, then 96 cents six months ago, and is up to $1.20 now.

Ecological fallacy--what is true at the macro level is not necessarily true at the individual level.

To do it properly, you have to assess the individual incomes of the home owning females and how they came to own the home (exclude inheritance/widowhood for example) and then compare it with home.
owning men and their individual incomes using the same inheritance/widowerhood filter.

Then you have to account whether any selection bias is going on due to different strategies that are sex related. Men who are single may prefer not to deal with home ownership while women due to HGTV may be programmed into thinking it a safe investment/fun to accessorize/decorate/etc.

342 It was that way when I was in college.

They threw money at young women who entered engineering, and yet the electrical engineering degree was still something like 98-2 men. Weird, huh?

Yep. I've been studying/working here for around 29+ years. The ratio of men to women has consistently been around 3:1 or so, despite everything the university does to recruit and retain women. Some women just come here for the MRS degree, admittedly.

346 304 ORRR he has multiple affairs, emotionally abuses her on the daily with the occasional physical thrown in should she get any ideas, blames it on PTSD and tells the whole world how awful she is for wanting to leave someone suffering from deployment after deployment. Uses this story to gain sympathy and starts an affair with the wife’s best friend, then something hugely traumatic happens, she leaves because if she stays in the house she will get dead. He takes the house, doesn’t pay the mortgage (or anything else), asks for alimony from her, abandons the minor child, depletes bank accounts, and moves in with best friend and marries her after dragging the divorce out 3 years and costing the wife $200k in the process. Wife and minor child left with nada colada except $900 a month of her marital share of the military retirement, of which she is demonized for having the gall to take. But he is a follower of Jesus and esteemed military veteran!

Or something like that.

354 306 78 year old retired SWAT commander shot and killed Gulf War veteran for talking on his telephone and throwing popcorn on him during the previews in a movie theater. Acquitted on self defense claim.

----------
This occurred years ago but trial was delayed by appeals of the original decision by the trial judge to deny the stand your ground defense to the defendant in a pretrial hearing. Florida (and GA) have a bifurcated self defense legal process. First, any defendant can request (not mandatory) that any prosecution be barred by self defense claims in a pretrial hearing. Essentially, it treats self defense laws in each state as a legal issue to be decided by a judge instead of having it submitted to a trial jury. If the defendant fails to persuade a judge, then the case moves to the regular criminal justice procedure. If it succeeds, double jeopardy applies and the defendant is protected against lawsuits as well as ending any prosecution over the event.

355 Yes, there are Christians who suffer illness, injury, or deformity until the very end of their lives here on Earth. (To be fair, I'm not sure that I know anyone who isn't suffering from some chronic issue. Be it mental health, physical health, if not personally through a loved one or family member. My point being, it is a mistake to think there are only a few people who have intractable problems. Life is, largely an intractable problem, that you have to manage. I know for more people who have intractable problems than I do people who have had miraculous healings/solutions. Although I do know of a few of those.)

Yes, they need pastoral care regarding these thorns in the flesh. (Everybody does). But why should that be preached as the expectation or the default on this issue when we pray that God would heal everyone else? (This doesn't make sense without the context that is probably missing. I mean obviously we would pray that people with mental health issues be healed also, not just have to live with it.) Why would we teach hopelessness as a doctrine? (So wait, are you saying you don't pray for the mentally ill for healing at all? You tell them there is no hope in prayer?).

Almost all media reporting of studies is crap because journalism and now most liberal arts students by and large do not understand basic math, research design, nor applied math as in statistics. Add to the fact that many research studies are actually advocacy and not objective and that the sheer number of them allow for cherrypicking to find a favorable one, effectively make the American public misinformed on most factoids.
