Well-known news anchor, Don Lemon has taken to his page to announce that he has been sacked by the media house, CNN.
The news anchor took to his Twitter page to announce that he was informed by his agent that his contract has been terminated.

Don Lemon’s sack comes after Variety published a story earlier this month alleging that Don Lemon mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career at CNN. He also faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on air.
Lemon first came under fire in February during a segment on “CNN This Morning” in which he remarked that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, was no longer in her “prime.” The comment was made while discussing a suggestion by Haley that candidates over the age of 75 should be subjected to mental competency exams.

He said,

“Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry,” Lemon said. “When a woman is considered to be in her prime — in her 20s, 30s, and maybe her 40s.”

Reacting to his sack on Twitter, Don Lemon said, “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.”
