- Fired CNN anchor Don Lemon is reportedly lawyering up after his surprise ouster from the cable news network on Monday, setting the stage for a possible legal battle with CNN.
- Lemon, the 51-year-old now-former co-host of “CNN This Morning,” signed a contract with CNN that runs until 2026, according to the New York Times.
- The newspaper cited “two people with direct knowledge of his deal” as saying there is roughly $20 million left on his contract, though it is unclear whether CNN intends to pay him the remainder.
