Judging CNN’s anchor Don Lemon claimed that female colleagues sexually harassed him, including what buried the gay anchor touching his nipples while shouting, “Oh, it’s cold here!”
Lemon, who was conserved in 2023 after a shocked 17-year-old stay on the challenged rating network, made the request during a Podcast appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random on Monday.
During the two-hour conversation, Lemon claimed that there were unpleasant meetings involving male and female colleagues.
“I was harassed by women and men at work,” Lemon Maher told the two-hour conversation.
“There are some things that are really wild, but not everything is Harvey Weinstein-Niveli,” he added, referring to the film Mogul who was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison after being sentenced to numerous sexual assaults.
Lemon showed an interaction with a female CNN female associate approaching him to the CNN Atlanta headquarters and climbed his nipples, joking, “Oh, it’s cold here!”
Anchor surprised said he said to her, “Okay, you understand if I did it, they would walk the door now?”
Although he felt unpleasant, Lemon said he decided not to report the incident to human resources, attributing his silence to a double standard perceived.
Lemon claimed that a second female colleague treated him inappropriately during a meeting abroad.
“She knew I was gay and it was just weird. She was going through a divorce. It was just weird,” Lemon said.
He expressed hesitation in the colleague’s reporting because she was afraid that given her professional stature, he would not be trusted.
Lemon – whose interview had sparked outrage after he claimed that President Trump’s supporters were “truly racist of F -Kmbret”, he said he also feared reporting the incident would endanger his position within the network.
He did not name the alleged harasser.
Printed by Maher for more detail, Lemon explained that the incident also took place in Atlanta after a professional event.
He recalled how limited transport options at the time left her blocked, resulting in the woman, insisting he would stay in her residence.
“” No, don’t go home. Stay in the guest room “,” Lemon confessed by stirring it, adding that she later became particularly hostile to him.
Reflecting further, Lemon shared his perspective on gender dynamics and harassment, suggesting that as a man, he felt empowered to say not without fear of important consequences.
“I think it’s flattering as long as you can send them easily. As a man, I can say,” No, I’m not interested, “he told Maher.
Lemon did not provide further details about the alleged sexual harassment by male colleagues.
He told Maher that he was harassed during his childhood. He then withdrew a link between traumatic experience in the alleged cases of harassment while in CNN.
“Because you know how to deal with it, and you know what is really important or not. And you know, how, who has the power,” Lemon said.
Lemon said he would better handle situations directly than escalate them through official complaints against human resources.
“I understand as man, I have the power to say,” I don’t want. “I don’t need to go to HR or destroy your career.
The post has requested comment from CNN.
Lemon himself was accused of misogynist behavior during his CNN mandate, which included several high -profile incidents that generated titles and anger.
In December 2022, Lemon claimed that men’s football is “more interesting to see”, leading to a dispute in the air with co-perpetrators Kaitlan Collins and Poppy Harlow.
In February 2023, Lemon faced reactions after stating that Presidential candidate Nikki Haley, then 51, was not “in her prime minister”, suggesting that a woman’s prime minister was in the 20s, 30s and 40s.
This comment was criticized as a sexist, making Lemo apologize to his colleagues.
Two months later, The Entertainment News Magazine Variety reported that Lemon was accused of misogynist behavior against female colleagues, including Soredad O’Brien, Kyra Phillips and Nancy Grace.
Lemon is alleged to have questioned O’Brien’s racial identity. Variety also reported that Lemon allegedly threatened Phillips and ridiculed grace.
The representative of Lemon denied these claims, labeling them as “unproven” and “unfounded”.
Shorlty, after publishing the variety report, Lemon was fired by CNN. Since then he has continued to start his podcast.
