Don Lemon Alleges Workplace Harassment During CNN Tenure

The former anchor shared two specific incidents involving female colleagues on Bill Maher's podcast, citing fears of retaliation as a reason for not reporting them.

Don Lemon disclosed on Bill Maher's podcast that he experienced workplace harassment by both male and female colleagues during his time at CNN.
He recounted an incident in the Atlanta CNN cafeteria where a female colleague inappropriately touched him and made a suggestive comment.
A second incident involved a female colleague pressuring him to stay at her home after a work event, which he described as 'bizarre' and 'weird.'
Lemon explained that he chose not to report these incidents due to concerns about not being believed and potential professional repercussions.
He also reflected on his perspective as a survivor of childhood molestation, which he said shaped his approach to handling harassment as an adult.
