CNN’s Don Lemon was fired effective immediately on Monday morning.
After 17 years at the network, Don Lemon was canned.
“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN,” Lemon tweeted on Monday afternoon.
“I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN, I would have thought that someone in management would have had 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.”

“CNN and Don have parted ways. Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.” CNN said.
