Lathan explained that the incident started when was asked to discuss a segment about Ellen DeGeneres hanging out with George Bush despite his personal reasons for not wanting to. During the segment, co-worker Michael Babcock kept talking over him, causing him to walk off.

While that part of the segment wasn’t aired, screenshots made it appear as if he were choking Babcock.
