Kaitlan Collins has dropped the ‘super agent’ she shared with her ‘CNN This Morning’ co-host Don Lemon just weeks after they reportedly got into a shouting match off-camera.
The journalist parted ways with United Talent Agency’s Jay Sures recently amid the ongoing drama between her and Lemon, which first surfaced in February.
In a statement to mediaSures confirmed the separation and said: “We wish him the best in his future projects.”
During an incident in December, Lemon, 57, allegedly yelled at Collins, 30, after he accused her of interrupting him multiple times while he was on the air.
Collins ran off the set in tears in front of the television crew and her co-host Poppy Harlow, sources said at the time.
Kaitlan Collins has dropped the ‘super agent’ she shared with her ‘CNN This Morning’ co-host Don Lemon just weeks after they reportedly got into a shouting match off-camera.
The journalist parted ways with United Talent Agency’s Jay Sures recently amid the ongoing drama between her and Lemon, which first surfaced in February.
In a statement, Sures confirmed the separation: “We wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
According to The Post, the relationship between Collins and Lemon, Sures’ ‘star client’, led to their final break.
“Jay was effectively not representing her,” a source said.
The person who spoke to the outlet said the December 8 incident in which Lemon yelled at his co-star off-camera was the beginning of the end.
It’s unclear when Sures and Collins officially parted ways.
However, the source said that Collins has since moved to Ari Emanuel’s agency, William Morris Endeavor (WME).
DailyMail.com contacted Collins via WME but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
It appears that Lemon, who has been embroiled in a series of controversies in recent weeks, is sticking with Sures.
Most recently, Lemon was reportedly forced into “formal training” after his comments about GOP 2024 hopeful Nikki Haley, 51, being “past her prime.”
He had made the comments about the 51-year-old candidate in February.
The presenter was suspended for three days for his comments.
Upon his return, Lemon tweeted just before it went on the air on February 22: “I appreciate the opportunity to be back on ‘CNN This Morning’ today.
‘To my network, my colleagues and our amazing audience, I’m sorry. I’ve listened to you, I’m learning from you, and I’m committed to doing better. See you soon.’
During an episode last week, the co-host used his platform to do a dramatic turn and strongly advocate for voters to elect the first female president in 2024.
‘There are so many places around the world where there have been women leaders running the country…but not in the world’s largest democracy?’ she questioned.
Insiders claim Lemon is aware he is on his ‘final warning’ after a series of insulting blunders on the morning show.
