Female staff in particular are said to be uncomfortable with Lewandowksi

Now CNN staffers are reportedly revolting over the appointment

Lewandowski went into a CNN meeting the afternoon he was fired

Corey Lewandowski's swift appointment as CNN's pro-Trump commentator - the same day he was fired from the billionaire businessman's campaign - has already caused an 'internal revolt'.

The paid position has made Lewandowski, whose time as Trump's campaign manager has been dogged by controversy, an exclusive commentator for the channel, and is effective immediately.

But the surprise hire by the channel's Worldwide director Jeff Zucker is causing ramifications - especially among female CNN staff - according to a Page Six source.

A 'TV Insider' told the site that female reporters and producers in particular are 'organizing and considering publicly demanding that Lewandowski be let go'.

Lewandowski is not any stranger to blame and accusations - including some from his new colleagues at CNN.

In May, he was accused of pushing CNN's Noah Gray away from Trump at a press conference, and in November he reportedly told Gray to 'get back in the pen or he's f****** blacklisted.'

And in March, Buzzfeed alleged that Lewandowski had made sexually suggestive phone calls to female reporters in which he sounded drunk, although he denied the claims.

And CNN staff are not the only women who don't want the former political aid around.

Following the severing, reports swirled that it was Trump's adult children who forced the issue, including Ivanka – who feared that Lewandowski was trying to marginalize her husband Jared Kushner's role as a trusted campaign adviser on Israel and Middle East issues.

Multiple sources said Trump's children and Kushner felt Lewandowski was hampering their efforts to make Trump's campaign more positive. There were even rumors that Lewandowski was planting negative stories about Kushner to hurt his influence with the Donald.

Trump Jr admitted that the children had talked to their father about Lewandowski's removal from the campaign, but said the decision was made by the Donald and no one else.

'Were we involved in talking about this with him? Sure,' Trump's eldest told Bloomberg Politics.

'I think it’s the right and appropriate decision to make,' Trump Jr added. 'But in the end, my father’s always going to make up his own mind. He’s going to come to those decisions himself. '

While some reports said Ivanka was distressed by news he’d grabbed reporter Michelle Fields by the arm at a Florida event.

His new CNN stablemate, Dana Bash, tweeted that he was ousted by some of Trump's adult children, Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric after falling out with Ivanka's husband - a claim that Lewandowski denied.

But asked why he was fired on CNN, Lewandowski said he didn't know.

'Things change as a campaign evolves,' he said, acknowledging that mounting a general election campaign is 'very different than running against those smaller, primary state elections.'

He also said that his replacement, campaign chairman Paul Manafort, had 'been in operational control of the campaign since April 7,' which some saw as a preemptive attempt to deflect blame upon leaving.

Speculation began immediately after Trump announced he was sacking Lewandowski that Ivanka had played a major role. . There were even rumors that Lewandowski was planting negative stories about Kushner (left) to hurt his influence with the Donald

Lewandowski was fired by Trump Monday in the wake of dropping poll figures, and made the deal to go to CNN that day, a source familiar with the channel told Politico.

His first post-firing in-studio interview - the first overall, not counting an NBC interview that he made after being cornered on the way to the CNN studio - was with CNN's Dana Bash.

Immediately afterwards he went into a 'long' meeting in the office of CNN's vice president of communications, Barbara Levin, the source told Politico.

The upshot of that meeting was that he will join Ronald Reagan former political director, Jeffrey Lord, and conservative columnist Kayleigh McEnany as the channel's go-to Trump fans.

Politico noted that Trump has a long-time contact at CNN in the form of president Jeff Zucker, who was president of NBC when Trump's show 'The Apprentice' first aired.

And MSNBC's Joe Scarborough told the site that Trump had once referred to Zucker as a 'personal booker' - though CNN declined to comment on Scarborough's claim.
