Michelle Yeoh on Sunday night used her acceptance speech to launch .. an attack on Don Lemon, declaring: 'Ladies, don't let anybody tell you you're ever past your prime.'
Lemon's words sparked immediate uproar, with his co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins looking shocked and Lemon then absenting himself from the next few shows and grovelingly apologizing to staff in an emergency conference call.
'A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s,' said Lemon, to the visible dismay of his co-anchors.
He refused to back down after Harlow questioned his remarks, telling her to 'look it up.'

Michelle Yeoh just threw some deserved shade at @DonLemon

What’s the “prime” — mid 20s ?
We all pass our prime if we have the luck to live long enough. Ideally, we will acquire the wisdom to quit lamenting our forgone options and appreciate the fact that the greatest gift of all is being alive.
prime for what?
didnt yeoh also just throw shade at Cate Blanchett for already having two oscars?
Wasn’t she in a Bond movie?
In Lemon’s case, prime for turd burgling.
This whole “past your prime” business is completely out of hand without context. Nikki Haley IS past her prime for many things: having children, being a swimsuit model, being a world-class athlete, and so forth. She is not past her prime in political ability. Joe Biden is past his prime for being President and pretty much everything else. No, you don’t get to decide when you are past your prime; reality decides. It is not a state of mind. I saw a podcast the other day with a bunch of young women taking great offense at the idea that they would have fewer problems with pregnancy at 25 than at 40. Clown World.
Good for Michelle Yeoh!
She understands that (1) Don Lemon is an idiot and (2) Don Lemon hates women.
Im 75 I have yet to reach my Sell By date ...
One of the Pierce Brosnan flicks....
She left out, “and what does Don Lemon know about women, anyway?”
She was amazing in Crouching Tiger...
What do they mean by “ladies”?
Whether religion or science drives your belief, the primary function of a living being is to perpetuate continued existence through creating new beings to replace them after death, else the species is extinct. This is true for all living creatures.
Humans with penises can procreate until their last day but are most likely to do so between 17-50 years old. In English, we call this kind of human “male”.
Humans with uteri can procreate until their egg supply, determined at birth, is exhausted. Once exhausted, their bodies stop creating the uterine linings necessary for gestation and they can never procreate irrespective of age. We call this kind “female”.
One is not like the other. Neither can re-engineer their body to perform the function of the other. Neither can perform their own function without the other. There is no “third” kind of human.
Yet Lefties believe a human can elect to be a male or a female by wishing it so. Objectors to this belief are “crazy”.
So, again, what do they mean by “ladies”?
I would cheer for her if she hadn’t participated in the Star Trek: Discovery kneel down.
HAHA! Didn’t enjoy this movie one bit, although everyone was very good in their roles. But, good on her for saying this, and that Don Lemon has finally found some common ground for all American women. And that ground is centered on DON LEMON IS A MORON!!
My 86 year old uncle says he no longer buys green bananas.
Good on her!
I hope all the 70’s porn stars are listening
