ACIDIC LEMON LOSING APPEAL WITH CNN GALS!

Clashing with Poppy & had Kaitlan in tears

AS CNN’s ratings plunge to rock bottom, diva Don Lemon is shred-ding nerves by refusing any blame and plotting to jump ship, say sources.

Lemon, 56, has been a moody mister since new network CEO Chris Licht bumped him from his 10 p.m. primetime gig to co-host CNN This Morning with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins — a move spies say he sees as a total downgrade.

Now the network’s ratings are in a record-breaking tailspin and prima donna Don is furiously blaming everybody but himself, say sources.
