CNN fired noted media personality Don Lemon, who’d been employed there for 17 years, earlier this week in what proved to be a high-profile move for the company. His termination came weeks after he stirred up controversy for making “sexist” comments on the air. Shortly after, he was leveled with a number of misconduct allegations, with some accusing him of exhibiting “volatile” behavior. In the aftermath of his exit, it was reported that the news network owes Lemon $25 million. Now, it appears that he’is gearing up for a possible legal battle in the event that his hefty payout is disputed.
