Don Lemon Has Monday Off

CNN's Don Lemon Spent Weekend In Miami

Don Lemon will not appear Monday on CNN This Morning as his future on the show continues to be discussed at the highest levels within the network, according to The Daily Beast citing two people familiar with the matter.

Meanwhile, Don Lemon’s co-workers privately trash him for having a “colossal ego” and believe he’s plotting to jump ship, reports RadarOnline.com.

As CNN’s ratings plunge to rock bottom, diva Lemon has refused to accept any blame, sources said. The news anchor, 56, has been “moody” ever since new network CEO Chris Licht bumped him from his 10 P.M. primetime gig to co-host CNN This Morning with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins — a move that sources claim he saw as a total downgrade.

Now the network’s ratings are in a record-breaking tailspin and prima donna Don is furiously blaming everybody but himself, said sources.

“He has a colossal ego and he’s the kind of person who goes around saying he’s not going to take the fall for his show flopping, it’s not his fault and the network’s tanking, and they shouldn’t have pushed him out of his primetime slot,” dished an insider.

“The ratings are way down, the new boss is implementing tough new rules, and no one is happy. All these people were pampered with perks and pats on the back until now and all of a sudden Don, Wolf Blitzer and others are at a point of ‘yikes, we’re in trouble.’”
