#DonLemon accused unnamed #CNN colleagues for the first time Sunday of sexually harassing him during his 17-year tenure at the news network, recalling one specific instance that saw a female staffer tweak his nipples in the company’s Atlanta cafeteria. Another involved an off-site encounter with a female staffer when he was still “so new” at the company. Joining #BillMaher for his “Club Random” podcast in a nearly two-hour conversation, the journalist said that he never went to HR or management over such instances because he feared “they may find a way to get rid of me.” (Lemon was fired from the network in 2023 amid accusations of misogyny and workplace misconduct.) “I have been harassed by women and men in the work[place]. And some things are not even — it’s ridiculous,” Lemon said. “Now look, there are some things that are really egregious, but not everything is #HarveyWeinstein-level.” 🔗Link in bio for more on this story.
