Veteran CNN anchor Poppy Harlow will leave the struggling cable news network after she was cast aside from its disastrous morning show that featured Don Lemon.
CNN boss Mark Thompson told staffers of Harlow’s departure during CNN’s 9 a.m. editorial call Friday — and Harlow confirmed her exit in an email to Vanity Fair.
“When I walked in the door at CNN in 2008, I was 25 years old and had never been on live TV. Green is an understatement!” Harlow wrote. “I grew up here: as a journalist and as a person.”
Harlow thanked Thompson, as well as Amy Entelis — the executive vice president for talent, CNN originals, and creative development — writing that the two have “been wonderful and have given me the space to make this decision.”
She will officially exit CNN next week.
Harlow, who has held various reporting and anchor gigs at CNN, most recently served as a co-host on “CNN This Morning,” the troubled morning show launched in 2022 under former CEO Chris Licht.
