CNN fired anchor Don Lemon on Monday after 17 years at the network, in the wake of sexist on-air comments and reports that he mistreated women he worked with during his tenure there. Lemon, who hosted "CNN This Morning," said his agent informed him about his termination Monday morning. Shortly after Lemon first tweeted that he was fired, the network's CEO, Chris Licht, said the anchor and CNN "parted ways." The report was based on more than a dozen former and current colleagues of Lemon, Variety said. He has served as the prime-time anchor of "Don Lemon Tonight" for more than eight years, the network's website says.
