Don Lemon isn’t about to let his high-profile and somewhat unceremonious firing ruin his summer plans.
The anchor was canned this week after 17 years at CNN following a spring of scandals. But rosé season must go on!
“I’m going to enjoy my summer, spend it on the beach and have a great time,” he told Page Six at the Time 100 Gala Wednesday night. “That’s it.”
Lemon, 57, claims to have been blindsided by his ouster.
“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN,” he wrote on social media on Monday, “I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN, I would have thought that someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly. At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play.”
