CNN has parted ways with controversial host Reza Aslan one week after Aslan called President Trump "a piece of s---" and "an embarrassment to mankind" on Twitter.
"CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series "Believer with Reza Aslan,'" the network said in a statement. “We wish Reza and his production team all the best."
CNN parted ways with Kathy Griffin last month after the comedienne was photographed holding a fake severed, bloody head resembling Trump. Griffin had hosted CNN's New Year's Eve special with anchor Anderson Cooper for 10 years.
Aslan has stirred controversy on his CNN program, which debuted this year.
An episode in March showed him eating a human brain.
"Want to know what a dead guy's brain tastes like?" asked Aslan in promoting the episode. "Charcoal. It was burnt to a crisp!"
