Lemon, 56, who has co-hosted “CNN This Morning” since its debut last November, is embroiled in a sexist scandal that’s threatening his future at the network.
“The outrage, internally, has not died down,” said the insider. “People are upset. He gave the worst apology ever and instead of going to the Hamptons to sit it out quietly, he went to Miami, stayed at a chi-chi hotel and got his photo taken.
According to CNN spokesperson Matt Dornic, Lemon was originally scheduled to be back in the anchor chair Monday but opted to take off for the Presidents’ Day holiday.
