NEW YORK — Don Lemon on Wednesday will return to "CNN This Morning," but his network is requiring him to undergo sensitivity training in response to his recent offensive comments about women.
In a memo to staff Monday, CNN Chairman Chris Licht said Lemon will return to the anchor desk he shares with Kaitlan Collins and Poppy Harlow.
"I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation," Licht said in the memo, which was reviewed by the L.A. Times. "He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously."
