Dustin Hice, the man who accused CNN host Don Lemon of sexual assault, has sounded off in the wake of Chris Cuomo’s exit, slamming the network as a place “rife with predators and perverts.”
In 2019, the openly gay Dustin Hice filed a lawsuit against Don Lemon, accusing the CNN host of shoving his hands down his pants and rubbing his genitals. The alleged incident occurred at a bar on Long Island.
Hice reportedly said of the incident on the Fox show Waters’ World, “…And shoved his fingers up under my nose, pushed my head back, and asked me if I liked p—- or d—. And I was disgusted, as you can assume, and I fled the bar.”
CNN has continued to stand behind Lemon, who has allegedly tried to settle with Hice on multiple occasions. In response to the network terminating Chris Cuomo for alleged sexual misconduct and for using CNN resources to aid his brother’s crisis team, Hice told Fox News Digital that the network protects predators.
“They’re a network rife with predators and perverts,” Hice said. “Lemon will have to testify under oath in the near future, but it’s good to see that there’s finally some accountability happening.”
“This is who they are. They’re a predator-protecting machine, they slander and smear victims with impunity,” Hice added.
Hice claimed that he turned down multiple settlement offers from Lemon and that CNN has actively worked with the anchor’s legal team to “grind me down.”
“They’ve tried to grind me down, they’ve attempted to intimidate witnesses in my case, they’ve released confidential information about me in an attempt to doxx me. They are complicit. This is who they are,” Hice said.
In a statement to Fox News, Lemon’s attorney, Caroline J. Polisi, called Hice’s claims “baseless.”
