Don Lemon was recently fired by CNN, although the reason for his firing has not been made clear. However, in the past few months, Lemon had been reprimanded for comments about Nikki Haley. Moreover, leaked text messages alleged that Lemon wasn't the easiest person to work with. Either way, he is now out of the network, and he will need to seek employment elsewhere. That said, it doesn't seem like he is all that pressed about his current predicament.
According to TMZ, Don Lemon and his partner Tim Malone were at the Time100 Gala last night. The gala took place at the Lincoln Center in New York City. Additionally, throughout the evening, Lemon appeared to be having a great time. Overall, he was seen mingling with guests and was all smiles the whole time. Although, this was certainly not the case on the day of his firing as he took some massive shots at the CNN bosses.
Don Lemon Is Doing Just Fine
“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly,” Don Lemon wrote. “At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play. With that said, I want to thank my colleagues and the many teams I have worked with for an incredible run. They are the most talented journalists in the business, and I wish them all the best.”
CNN eventually came back with a response of its own, noting that Don Lemon was given the chance to speak to management. Although, he refused to do so. CNN and Don have parted ways. "Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors," the network said. Either way, there is no doubt that this is an ongoing situation that will continue to breed new details. Stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the world.
