More than a dozen former and current colleagues of CNN’s Don Lemon are speaking out about his behavior at the network.
Variety published a story on Lemon and his alleged troubling behavior at CNN, including his attitude toward women and willingness to bend the rules.
At one point during Lemon’s career, he began openly dating a staffer that had just graduated college despite the 19-year age difference.
Variety noted dating a junior employee was not looked highly upon at the time of their relationship.
“As fast as you could make a rule, Don would bend it,” one senior executive said.
Several sources explained how Lemon’s misogynistic behavior was more troubling.
Lemon allegedly called one of his producers fat to her face, per Variety.
He also mocked colleague Nancy Grace on air by mimicking her, leaving other colleagues stunned.
An individual close to Grace told Variety “she thinks he’s an ass” and he was always “rude, dismissive and really unfamiliar with the content being discussed.”
