Following his firing from CNN, Don Lemon tweeted a statement while his emotions were still high. And now that he’s had a couple days to think, he’s much calmer about the termination. “I’m not an angry person, I’m not mad,” he told Page Six. “I’m a very resilient person. I’ve had a very full life with lots of twists and turns.” He then credited his upbringing and his career thus far for grounding him.
“I have people around me who love me, including this gentleman right here, so I’m good,” he continued, giving his fiance Tim Malone a shout-out for being supportive amid the firing. “My emotions are upward. There’s a reason that this happened and then we’ll see what happens in the future.”

In September 2022, it was reported that views of Lemon’s late-night news show, “Don Lemon Tonight,” were declining. It was then announced that he was going to be a new co-anchor for a CNN morning news show, and many people believed that it was a demotion for him. Lemon denied the claims, saying that an opportunity to take on the morning news slot with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins was a promotion.
