Jonah Hill Gets in Cyber-Fight With CNN Anchor

Jonah Hill and CNN anchor Don Lemon got into something of a bitchfight this week, reports TMZ. Apparently Lemon saw Hill leaving the bathroom of a hotel, said hello and shook hands with him, but later claimed that Hill treated him like "a bellman."
It all went down on Twitter. Here's the exchange:
Said hi to @jonahhill in hotel. Think he thought i was bellman. Didn't know his name til bellman told me. A lesson to always be kind.

Hill apparently tweeted back "I said hi what do you want me to do move in with you? I was in a hurry. Didn't realize you were a 12 year old girl. Peace."
And then:
"I walked out of the restroom and found you waiting for me. Shook hands, said hi and was on my way. Sorry if you found that rude."
But both of those tweets have been taken down. Lemon responded:

. @JonahHill Hardly. You're not my type. But I know rude. And u were.

This morning, Lemon went on CNN to clear things up by saying that Hill did shake his hand, but nevertheless treated him like "the help."
