CNN Anchor to Receive Full Salary for Remaining Contract
Don Lemon, a prominent American television journalist and news anchor for CNN, was abruptly fired from the network in early 2024 following sexist remarks he made about former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley during a live broadcast.
The incident occurred during a discussion about Haley's announcement that she would be running for president in 2024. Lemon, who has a history of making controversial statements, suggested that Haley was past her prime as a politician due to her age, implying that she was no longer capable of serving in the role.
CNN swiftly condemned Lemon's remarks, calling them "deeply offensive" and "unacceptable." The network announced that Lemon had been fired immediately, effective that evening.
According to TheWrap, which cited unnamed sources, CNN is expected to pay Lemon his full salary for the remaining 35 years of his contract, which is estimated to be worth millions of dollars.
