CNN’s Don Lemon, who hosts one of the lowest-rated shows on television, once invited Avenatti to a party at his mansion in the Hamptons. Speaking of which, Lemon is fighting a lawsuit filed by a Hamptons bartender who claims the CNN host sexually harassed and assaulted him in 2018. Speaking of alleged sex crimes, two CNN producers were busted late last year for sexually inappropriate behavior involving underage girls. John Griffin, who spent years working “should to shoulder” with Chris Cuomo, was indicted by a federal grand jury for attempting to “induce minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity.”

Months later, Weir refused to apologize after deploying a common misogynist trope in a Twitter tirade against a female politician.
