Don Lemon Reveals Harassment Experience During 17 Years at CNN

Don Lemon recently opened up about being “harassed” by both “women and men” during his time at CNN, spanning 17 years. In a candid conversation with Bill Maher on his “Club Random” podcast, Lemon shared his experiences of workplace harassment, emphasizing that not all instances were as serious as those associated with figures like Harvey Weinstein.

Although Lemon did not disclose specific names, he recounted an incident where a female coworker “tweaked” his nipples in the cafeteria, attributing it to the cold temperature. Despite feeling uncomfortable with the situation, Lemon chose not to escalate the matter to HR, citing a perceived double standard that would have resulted in different consequences if the roles were reversed.

In another instance, Lemon recalled being harassed by another woman at CNN when he was still new to the network. The individual, who was aware of Lemon’s sexual orientation, exhibited bizarre behavior towards him during a difficult time in her personal life. Despite feeling mistreated, Lemon opted not to report the incident to management out of fear of repercussions.

When pressed for further details, Lemon explained that the harassment occurred during an after-work gathering, where the individual in question made inappropriate advances towards him. He described a culture of social events within the company where such behavior could occur in a less formal setting.

Lemon’s revelations shed light on the complexities of workplace harassment and the challenges individuals face in addressing such issues. Despite the prevalence of movements like #MeToo, many still grapple with speaking out due to concerns about credibility, retaliation, and the perceived severity of the harassment.

Lemon’s courage in sharing his experiences serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering a safe and respectful work environment for all employees.
