Don Lemon announced he was terminated after 17 years at CNN
In a tweet on Monday, Lemon said he found out from his agent that he was let go from CNN. “I am stunned,” he wrote.
“After 17 years at CNN I would have though that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly. At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play.”
However, in a statement, CNN said the former morning show host and the network had “parted ways”.
CNN said Lemon was offered the opportunity to pick up his pink slip in person, but he declined.
“Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” the network told the New York Times. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”
