Don Lemon Expresses Belief in Matt Lauer's Potential Comeback
In an interview on the "Hollywood Raw Podcast," former CNN anchor Don Lemon shared his views on the possibility of Matt Lauer returning to the news industry. Lauer, once a co-anchor of NBC's "Today" show, was fired in 2017 amidst sexual misconduct allegations.
Lemon believes that Lauer could make a successful comeback by leveraging digital platforms to control his narrative. He acknowledges that Lauer's return may be met with resistance within the industry, but suggests that the general public remains supportive.
Despite acknowledging the allegations against Lauer, Lemon emphasizes that he has no personal knowledge of the situation and that women's perspectives should be respected. However, he highlights that during his interactions with Lauer, he has witnessed overwhelming public affection.
Lemon's own recent history includes a firing from CNN in 2023 due to allegations of sexist behavior and a subsequent lawsuit against Elon Musk for fraud and breach of contract.
