CNN STAFF CAN’T WAIT FOR SCOTT JENNINGS TO LEAVE — “DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU!”
Network insiders say the Trump-loving pundit is a “diva nightmare” who treats staff like servants
The conservative pundit and Trump ally, who’s been a fixture on the network as an opinion contributor, is making life hell for CNN staffers behind the scenes. Sources say his diva-like behavior and massive ego have reached unbearable levels.
“Scott Jennings thinks he’s a star, but the truth is, he’s a nightmare to work with,” one insider tells #ShuterScoop. “He’s rude to producers, rude to assistants, and completely dismissive of anyone he thinks isn’t on his level. It’s like working for a reality TV villain. No one wants to be near him.”
And it’s not just talk. The tensions have boiled over into daily interactions, with staff constantly walking on eggshells.
“He’s got a massive ego and acts like he’s doing everyone a favor by showing up,” another CNN source added. “People dread working with him. He’s the last person anyone wants to deal with.”
Jennings, who’s been a vocal Trump supporter and close ally of Mitch McConnell, is currently weighing a potential Senate run — but sources inside CNN believe the network would be more than happy to see him go.
“Honestly, if he wants to run for office, good riddance,” a CNN insider quipped. “No one’s shedding any tears here. The office will be a lot quieter without his constant drama.”
While CNN insiders are eager for his departure, Jennings remains focused on his political aspirations — despite his image as a high-maintenance, self-absorbed diva.
“If he wants to be a senator, go ahead. But trust me, no one here is rooting for him,” said the source. “If anything, it’s just more freedom for everyone else.”
#ShuterScoop has learned that Jennings might think he’s the next big thing in Washington, but at CNN, he’s the one no one wants to see stay.
