Fired!

Don Lemon, the controversial anchor of “CNN This Morning,” is out at CNN.

CNN CEO Chris Licht circulated the news via a memo Monday.

“CNN and Don have parted ways,” Licht said. “Don will forever be part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”

Lemon tweeted Monday that he was informed that CNN fired him via his agent UTA’s Jay Sures.

“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned after 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly,” Lemon wrote. “At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play.”

The anchor had been in hot water for months. He had been the focus of an expose by Variety, which documented his past misogyny. In February, he also was under fire after saying on air that that 51-year-old GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley was not “in her prime.”

The Post also reported that he yelled at co-anchor Kaitlan Collins after a tense on-air segment in December.

On Friday, The Post reported that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to be interviewed by the anchor.

Alternate headline: "Fired guy totally surprised that company was tired of his shit"

This one I saw coming, after his temper tantrums on that morning show. He's just an unlikable POS

Lemon ceased to be an asset and become a liability. Even another gay in Jean-Pierre refused to be a guest on his program.

Now he can crawl back to his plush Hampton getaway home and find a guy to hit-on and grope.

Except we don’t want to see his ass at family gatherings.

Open mouth, insert foot.

It’s called, “at will employment” Don.

To me, Lemon is as aggravating as Geraldo. They both think way too highly of themselves and their opinions are distorted by false principles. Lemon wouldn’t have Smolletted, but he wanted to.

Gee, what a shame.

One wonders if the perpetually-offended left will accuse CNN of "racism" and "homophobia?"

Yes, the issue is you're a giant asshole

Now, go apply at PMSNBC and join the scumbags over there. They fit you more. Lol.

His racist remarks and ranting at the show's producers on-air during the Ramaswamy interview was the final nail in prancer's coffin.

The View might be a good fit for Donny boy.

Maybe they'd like to smell his finger.

Uhhh...you are talking about the same guy here?

The guy who clearly hates all females and loves to hog the spotlight is going to be a good fit on a show full of females who all share a spotlight?

LMAO!

This pissy little bitch can't even leave graciously. Instead, he lies.

"Don Lemon's statement about this morning's events is inaccurate," its communications team wrote in a statement. "He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter."

And I love the disingenuous horse shit from CNN that Lemon "will always be part of the CNN family." Yeah, sure, that's believable.

Well every family has that one guy, you still have to count as a family member, but he's not getting invited to the BBQ though....
