Reports surfaced noting an agreement has been reached between Don Lemon and CNN following his departure last year.
The former anchor and the news network have come to a separation deal, which is said to involve a payment of around $24.5 million to Lemon. This amount is reported to be equivalent to what Lemon would have received if his contract had run its full course of three and a half years.
CNN has denied a report that it reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Don Lemon, a former anchor for the outlet who was fired last year. The report claimed that Lemon agreed to a separation deal worth about $24.5 million with CNN, which would have totaled to the final amount that Lemon agreed to in his final contract with the network. However, a spokesperson with the network has called the report “incorrect” but did not specify what was incorrect.
