Don Lemon's absence from the 'CNN This Morning' desk nearly got lost in the sauce at the top of the show Monday ... which could be additional writing on the wall for his time at the network.
Now, Don also had Friday off -- that was scheduled prior to the Haley remark -- and he spent it lounging on a Miami beach ... seemingly not having a care in the world., and staffers found out in a memo circulated this weekend about the 'This Morning' lineup switch.
It's unclear if Don's skipping today was his decision or his bosses. No one's spilling that tea just yet ... as the fallout continues from Lemon saying Haley was"not in her prime" at the age of 51 -- because, as he put it, Google says a woman's prime is in her 20s, 30s,"and maybe 40s." The reference I made to a woman’s “prime” this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it. A woman’s age doesn't define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day.
