Overview

• An interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored devolved into a shouting match, with Morgan telling Lemon he was being “a complete dick.”
• Morgan replayed Lemon’s 2023 remark about Nikki Haley “not being in her prime” to question whether it led to Lemon’s departure from CNN.
• Lemon said he was “probably” a victim of cancel culture but insisted the Haley clip did not cause his firing and argued his comments were taken out of context.
• Lemon accused Morgan of ambushing him, saying he agreed to discuss free speech and the response to Charlie Kirk’s death, while Morgan countered that Lemon raised cancel culture.
• The exchange featured repeated interruptions and disputes over professionalism, and a separate outlet has reported a recent hostile street encounter with Lemon in New York City.
