Don Lemon REVEALS Plans After CNN Exit: ‘I’m a Survivor’ (Exclusive)

Lemon has been the subject of controversy recently, as it was revealed he’s been accused of misogynistic behavior for years. In February, he was also taken off of CNN This Morning and sent to sensitivity training after he was criticized for comments on Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s age. Despite these scandals, Don is not second-guessing himself or living in the past.

“I live my life with no regrets and whatever I did, I did, and I owned,” Lemon said. “I don’t look back and don’t want to change things in the past … Onward.”

Lemon seems to be taking the exit in stride and is trying to work through the sudden upheaval.

“I think life is short, and whatever life hands you, you have to bob and weave and do it,” he said. “I didn’t think I would be at work one evening and get a phone call that my sister had died, but I had to deal with that. I didn’t think that my dad would die young of diabetes…So there are lots of things that come your way that are unexpected, but I’m a survivor. I come from strong, sturdy stock in Louisiana and a lot of people are rooting for me and who love me.”

I don’t know what Don Lemon’s next steps are, but I’m almost positive they will include a podcast and possibly his own newsletter. Isn’t that what most cable news personalities do after they leave their big network jobs?
