ATLANTA, USA – In a startling move on Monday, April 24, 2023, CNN fired veteran host and anchor Don Lemon, mere minutes after Fox News announced the departure of its star host, Tucker Carlson. Lemon took to Twitter to reveal his sudden exit from the network.

The esteemed anchor recently faced criticism for his on-air remarks regarding the “prime” age of Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley and other women.
These controversial comments appear to have played a role in CNN’s decision to sever ties with Lemon.
Lemon has been a recognisable and influential presence on CNN for years, often engaging in candid conversations about the day’s pressing issues.
The network has not yet commented on the reasons for Lemon’s termination or announced plans for a replacement.
