Don Lemon hopped on a call with his fellow CNN staffers on Friday, February 17, to apologize for his controversial on-air comments about Nikki Haley not being "in her prime" as a 51-year-old woman.

"Don jumped on for only 90 seconds to address what he said about Nikki Haley and, for that matter, all women," a source revealed to a news publication.

The television reported confessed he didn't mean what he said and promised he would continue to fight discrimination against woman, according to the insider.

Lemon attempted to back his feminism by revealing some of his closest friends and loved ones are all women, including Dana Bash, Erin Burnett, Amy Entelis, his mother and his sister.

The conversation with staffers comes after Lemon was noticeably absent from CNN: This Morning on Friday.

TMZ spoke to sources regarding Lemon's staff call.
