Overview
- On his Clip Farmers podcast, Lemon called Kelly "chopped," said "I think she looks trans," and added "looks clockable," a slang term for being identifiable as transgender.
- A co-host ended the segment with "let's end on that note," and the clip was widely shared online, with reporting citing more than a million views.
- Online reaction focused on perceived hypocrisy given Lemon's prior support for transgender rights and his public criticism of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
- As of the latest reports, no apology or retraction from Lemon has been reported, and TMZ said Kelly had not responded to requests for comment.
- Coverage also revisited Lemon’s 2023 firing from CNN after complaints about misogynistic behavior, including remarks about women’s appearances.
