Fired CNN primetime host Don Lemon will reportedly receive approximately $24.5 million as part of a separation deal with the news network nearly a year after his exit.
The settlement equals the amount that Lemon, 57, would have been paid had he been allowed to stay on at CNN through the end of his contract three-and-a-half years from the time of his firing, the Wrap reported.
Lemon was axed from CNN in April after his brief and tumultuous run as a morning show co-host by then-CEO Chris Licht, who was later booted himself.
Lemon’s ouster came just two months after he was forced to apologize for saying on air that as a woman over age 50, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley was past “her prime.”

So he was also fired for being right about Nikki Haley.

And what Lemon said ironically was dead-on true: “...for saying on air that as a woman over age 50, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley was past “her prime.”

When conservatives get fired or canceled, they’re lucky to leave with the shirts on their backs. No sweetheart firings for them.

CNN will have some sort of cost offset with the feds. The mass media outlets are run by government officials jumping in and out of the business for just such purposes.

He can retire on that in a Dem/lib climate-paradise such as Hawaii.
