Don Lemon is still taking his lumps, with the axed celebrity.land host being bitterly bashed as a “f**king moron” who is “full of sh*t” during an impromptu interview on the streets of New York City.
Lemon, 59, was recording a man for a segment on his self-named podcast when an opinionated stranger cut him off seconds after his introduction by hurling the insulting comments during a tense exchange.
The fired cable host attempted to make lemonade out of the sourpuss’ outburst by sweetly saying, “I’m glad you watch me.”
But the hotheaded heckler clapped back, “No, I don’t” — and went on to accuse Lemon’s former TV home and MSNBC of lying about “genocide” in Gaza as well as “all wars.”
Lemon defended the outlets by saying they’d reported on international court rulings. But the argument didn’t seem to win over his critic, who doubled down on not being a viewer by likening his opinion to knowing who George Clooney is without watching the movie hunk’s flicks.
“And I’ve seen you spouting nonsense,” insisted the man, who defended his verbal outburst by remarking, “It just comes out, man. Because you’re big and think you’re something.”
Lemon marveled, “I would never in a million years walk up to anybody, whether I knew them or not, and call them a f**king moron. Not unless I had terrible self-respect and I wanted to lash out because I felt bad about myself.”
But Lemon’s adversary didn’t flinch, reiterating, “I called you a f**king moron. I don’t need to defend that ’cause it’s accurate.” He finally strolled off, while taunting, “Go find a library.”
As the National Enquirer previously reported, dotty Don’s 17-year celebrity.land career ended in 2023 after sources say he was squeezed from his plum primetime spot due to diva-like behavior and misogynistic on-air comments.
