What happened to Laura Coates, the brilliant legal analyst of CNN?

She's on Don Lemon right now and there's a split screen of her next to Don Lemon and her complexion, which not long ago was about the same as Don Lemon's, a healthy black-don't-crack brown, is now that pale, pseudo white of the late Michael Jackson.

What has she done?
