I think it was a result from this article that was published not too long ago 

https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/cnn-don-lemon-misogyny-history-nikki-haley-1235574286/amp/

 

 

One night while dining with members of the news team, she received the first of two threatening text messages from an unknown number on her flip phone that warned, “Now you’ve crossed the line, and you’re going to pay for it.” Phillips was visibly rattled and quickly enlisted CNN’s higher ups to identify the sender.

Remarkably, the texts were traced back to Lemon, according to those same sources. A human resources investigation was launched, and while the findings were never disclosed to the growing pool of staffers who were aware of the situation, Lemon was abruptly pulled from his co-anchor duties with Phillips and moved to the weekends. It was a demotion by any objective measure and understood to be some kind of disciplinary action. It appears to be the last time he was paired with a female anchor until his most recent assignment on “CNN This Morning With Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins.” 

The fact that he wasn’t fired for that is insane….

That's not the the direct cause of this though, so I'd take that with a big pinch of salt. He was fired because of misogynistic comments.

I don't think he should have been fired based on a bad comment in a heated discussion. Though it looks like he's shown poor behavior for quite some time.
