Don Lemon addressed claims from Jussie Smollett that the former CNN anchor had warned him about Chicago police skepticism concerning Smollett's attack allegations. Lemon clarified that Smollett's court testimony was misleading, stating emphatically, "I never believed Jussie Smollett." Lemon recounted his limited interactions with Smollett, noting they were not close friends. He detailed the absurdity of the situation, considering the implausibility of Smollett's claims – including that individuals in a MAGA hat would recognize and target him in freezing Chicago weather.
Lemon addressed accusations that he tipped off Smollett about police disbelief. He described reaching out to Smollett for an interview to allow him to share his story, a standard journalistic practice. Lemon emphasized that his actions were misinterpreted. He also touched on the negative impact of Smollett's actions on real hate crime victims, particularly within the Black gay community. Lemon concluded by wishing Smollett well but standing firm on his original disbelief.
