This week Don Lemon was fired from CNN after 17 years on the air [click here if you missed that].
Now insiders claim Don has retired a high powered attorney to make sure he gets what's owed...
From Page Six
Fired CNN anchor Don Lemon is leaving the network with at least $25 million — but has still lawyered up for a potential legal battle with his former employer, Page Six has exclusively confirmed.
Lemon, the 51-year-old former co-host of “CNN This Morning,” had signed a high $7 million-a-year contract with CNN in September that runs until 2026, sources said.
Meanwhile, Lemon has hired high-powered Los Angeles entertainment attorney Bryan Freedman to secure his exit and probe whether the former anchor is entitled to a further settlement, Page Six is told.
A source with knowledge of Lemon’s deal at CNN said: “Don was signed on a high seven-figure deal for the morning show last September, and is assured by CNN he will be paid the remainder of his contract, which runs until 2026.
“He has retained lawyer Bryan Freedman to conclude this deal, and also to investigate if Don could be eligible to further damages surrounding the conditions of his exit.”

He going to be on Fox
He was horrible, he's unlikable and he's rude. I glad they fired him because it's a long time coming.
Sometimes you got to let crackers have it when they come on the show talking out, the side of their neck. So, no he was not rude. He just checked them at the door.
Get your coins DL.
CNN gonna take an L on this one. Don gonna get paid.
If you’re going to play the game, play the game right. DL is playing the game correctly.
Good for him!
Take the job Rick Ross offered you
Fox is not having anything to do with Lemon. They got rid of one fool and they are not going to pick up another one. Lemon was hoping he’d get fired at CNN and picked up on ABC to replace T.J. Holmes. That ain’t happening either. Lemon will be lucky if he can a job as a newsreader on Sesame Street.
Lemon might be able to work at The Grio news station. I don’t think Byron Allen wants that kind of headache and it’s probably nothing that Lemon wants. But I’d like to see Lemon on Black news program working with other Black newscasters.
Bruh not a fan but that doesn't make me an enemy let it go take some time and come back stronger.
