Don Lemon's Birthday: Spa Day Amidst Legal Drama
28 Feb
Summary
- Don Lemon is celebrating his 60th birthday with a spa day.
- He faces a lawsuit for allegedly disrupting a church service.
- Lemon maintains he was exercising his First Amendment rights.
Don Lemon is set to celebrate his 60th birthday this Sunday with a relaxing spa day in a beach town. His birthday festivities commenced on Friday evening with a dinner in Beverly Hills, followed by attendance at the NAACP Image Awards where he is being honored with four awards. He plans a dinner with his husband, Tim Malone, on the actual birthday.
This celebration occurs as Lemon faces a lawsuit from an alleged parishioner of The Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. The lawsuit claims Lemon disrupted a service last month while covering a protest against pastor David Easterwood. Lemon was arrested and charged with federal crimes related to the event but pleaded not guilty.
The lawsuit alleges Lemon acted with protesters, causing the parishioner severe emotional distress. However, Lemon maintains he was exercising his First Amendment rights as a reporter to document the demonstration and shed light on the events. He has vowed not to be silenced.
