As for that first one that I posted, something obviously happened (I will grant that there maybe were other issues with him as well that also possibly led to his demotion):
A human resources investigation was launched, and while the findings were never disclosed to the growing pool of staffers who were aware of the situation, Lemon was abruptly pulled from his co-anchor duties with Phillips and moved to the weekends. It was a demotion by any objective measure and understood to be some kind of disciplinary action. It appears to be the last time he was paired with a female anchor until his most recent assignment on CNN This Morning With Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins.
The bloke has had multiple issues with misogynistic behaviour over the years, he just exhibited that again recently, on nation cable. I am not of a mind to draw a line in the sand and mount a full-throated defence of him and condemn CNN's actions in terms of giving him the sack.

I used to like him, but after finding out how sexist he is ... not so much anymore.
