Don Lemon has taken a break to California with his partner after it was revealed that he ‘lost his mind’ and screamed at his colleagues in a second incident.
The CNN This Morning host allegedly made Kaitlan Collins run from the set in tears on December 8 after he berated her in front of the television crew and their other co-host.
He was told to take a day to ‘cool off’ by boss Chris Licht, but instead blew up on staffers after a company newsletter featured a story about his altercation with the White House Correspondent.
Lemon, 56, reportedly went ‘ballistic’ at staffers who highlighted the spat with Collins, according to RadarOnline – with the host claiming she ‘interrupted him’ during a December broadcast.
He is now enjoying a vacation in Beverly Hills with his partner Tim Moloney, who posted a picture of the pair – ignoring the claims Lemon flew into a rage.

The pair fled New York for Los Angeles and seemed to be enjoying the sunshine in the Golden State and ignoring the drama unfolding at home.
Real estate agent Moloney posted the series of snaps, which included a picture of the popular ‘Bienvenidos Amigos’ script on the pillars near the entrance of the landmark, the hotel parking lot and palm trees.
Collins, 30, the youngest chief White House Correspondent on CNN, reportedly wants to be on set with the anchor ‘as little as possible’ after the incident.
The argument took place off-camera on December 8, which left Collins ‘visibly upset’ and other members of staff ‘shaken ‘by his outburst.
Both Collins and Lemon are both represented by agent Jay Sures, with their fellow anchor Poppy Harlow witnessing the initial heated exchange.
Collins and Lemon have starred alongside each other on the show since it started three months ago.

The pair, along with Harlow, used to arrive to red carpets and events as a unit but now appear to arrive separately and seem to want to stay far away from each other.
While it’s unclear whether Collins intentionally interrupted Lemon, one source referred to him as ‘bossy’ and ‘difficult to work with.’

The source added that he was given notes to talk less during the show and share the stage with Harlow and Collins.
Lemon used to have his own show Don Lemon Tonight, before Licht canceled it and created the new morning show.
CNN boss Licht previously promised to give the company a makeover since his take over last year but seems to have had little impact.
The company has not addressed the allegations, but Licht approved shocking layoffs last year leaving many staffers shocked.

He moved Lemon from his primetime show to the morning show as an anchor, in a reshuffle of the broadcasters’ talent.
It comes after podcast host Megyn Kelly predicted the incident with Collins wasn’t the first time Lemon lost his cool on a co-worker, adding she suspected it wouldn’t be his last either.
She added Lemon he ‘better be careful,’ adding she would have had him fired if he pulled that on her – and also commented that the show is on ‘its last legs before it even got on its first legs.’
CNN This Morning has suffered a ratings bomb and early last month experienced its least-viewed week since launch, averaging just over 330,000 viewers
