CNN Parts Ways with Don Lemon
Anchor Departs After Allegations of Misogynistic Behavior
Network Announces End of Longtime Host's Tenure
CNN has announced the departure of longtime host Don Lemon, in a move that has shocked the media landscape. Lemon's unceremonious exit came just hours after his co-anchoring shift on CNN This Morning, and no explanation was provided by the network.
In February 2022, CNN had announced that Lemon would host a talk show for the network's streaming service, CNN+, called The Don Lemon Show. However, the service was shut down shortly after its launch, and Lemon's show was canceled.
According to sources, Lemon's termination was the result of a pattern of misogynistic and inappropriate behavior that had created a hostile work environment. Lemon has denied the allegations.
The firing of Don Lemon is a significant departure for CNN, which has been grappling with declining ratings and a series of high-profile scandals in recent months. Lemon's exit leaves a void in the network's lineup and raises questions about the future direction of CNN.
