CNN anchor Don Lemon sent anonymous, threatening texts to a co-star after she beat him to a reporting gig, sources tell Variety
CNN and Don Lemon are pushing back after Variety reported the network's star anchor sent anonymous, threatening texts to then-co-anchor Kyra Phillips after she landed a 2008 reporting role in Iraq he wanted for himself.
At the office, while Phillips was abroad, two sources told Variety that Lemon tore up pictures and notes on top of and inside Phillips' desk in their shared news pod. After escalating the issue to CNN higher-ups, the texts were traced to Lemon, the two sources who worked at CNN at the time told Variety.
