Don Lemon was terminated from his anchor role at CNN, he announced Monday.
The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career there. And earlier this year, he faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on-air.
Lemon announced the news on Twitter, saying he was informed by his agent that he was being terminated.
“I am stunned,” Lemon wrote. “After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.”
CNN CEO Chris Licht said that the network and Lemon have “parted ways,” according to a memo posted on CNN’s official communications Twitter account.

The WHITE owned CNN are racists of the worst kind. The only reason Mr. Lemon is bein I expect Merrick Garland to investigate this.
@Not getting involved
I can only assume that you’re being VERY sarcastic there!!
Good riddance…
Something is going on, Carlson on Fox then Lemon. Kennedy effect. Kennedy 24!
I wholeheartedly commend both Fox News and CNN for their recent decisions to terminate the employment of talk show hosts Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, respectively.
This bold and courageous action was necessary to restore confidence in cable news reporting and is a great day for the American people.
Both Carlson and Lemon are demagogues of the worst kind, spewing lies and hatred to appeal to the extremes of the political spectrum and dividing the country into two warring camps. This is unacceptable, as the vast majority of Americans are sensibly in the middle. I believe that this move in the right direction will help to bring healing and unity to our nation.
It is time for us to come together and work towards a better future for all.
Zetruth: Your childish Kennedy rants are getting old real fast. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date. h
There’s no hope for MSM. They will never get their credibility back.
First Tucker Carlson and now Don Lemon? Is there a hope that we may be seeing the return of actual news anchors, rather than party propagandists?
