Don Lemon, formerly of CNN, was recently arrested in Los Angeles while covering the Grammy Awards. This development follows his expressed concerns about facing charges related to his attendance at a church protest in Minneapolis on January 18, 2026. The protest involved demonstrators confronting a pastor accused of ties to immigration enforcement.
Lemon maintains he was present as an independent journalist to livestream the event. The Assistant Attorney General has confirmed a federal investigation into potential violations of the FACE Act, which safeguards places of worship. This legal situation unfolds as Lemon continues his work on his YouTube channel, 'The Don Lemon Show,' following his departure from CNN in April 2023.
Throughout these professional and legal challenges, Lemon has received strong support from his husband, Tim Malone. Malone, a luxury real estate agent based in New York City and the Hamptons, has been a constant presence by Lemon's side. The couple, who began dating in 2016, publicly shared their relationship in 2018 and were married on April 6, 2024, in Manhattan.
