Don Lemon Arrested, Misses Grammys Red Carpet
2 Feb
Summary
- Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents earlier this week.
- He had planned to cover the Grammys but did not appear.
- Lemon was previously fired by CNN for misogynistic remarks.
Don Lemon's planned Grammys red carpet coverage was canceled following his arrest by federal agents earlier this week. Lemon had initially posted a video teasing his presence on the red carpet, stating his coverage would be live on multiple streaming platforms including YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook. However, on Grammys night, he did not appear on any of the advertised channels.
His arrest on January 29th, which occurred while he was reportedly covering a protest at a Minnesota church, was confirmed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. This incident marks a significant challenge for Lemon's post-CNN career as an independent journalist. He was fired by CNN in April 2023 after facing accusations of misogynistic remarks made on-air.
Despite the recent legal troubles and his previous dismissal from CNN, Lemon appeared at the Clive Davis annual pre-Grammy gala on January 31st, where he received a standing ovation. On Grammys night itself, he was present on the red carpet with his husband, Tim Malone, but was not covering the event, instead becoming the subject of the story.
