Don Lemon continues to be CNN’s biggest joke to me, and once again, I think, he made an a$$ of himself yesterday while interviewing one of the woman who accuses of Bill Cosby of raping her. Joan Tarshis claims that the second time she met with Cosby, he allegedly forced her to perform oral sex on him. Lemon asked her, “You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn’t want to do it.” She responded with, “Oh. Um, I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn’t even enter my mind. Now I wish it would have.” He then wanted to clarify his comment, “Right. Meaning the using of the teeth, right?” She did know what he was talking about.
What he does his own personal life is one thing; but if you, as a woman or man, are in that position, you don’t know what you would do. I think for him to assume that you are in the right mindset to do that is disgusting and negligent. You never know what you are going to do in a situation like because fear can take over and make you do things you don’t want to do to save yourself. Also in a way, I think, it is like he is blaming her for that incident.
It completely amazes me that he still has a job at CNN, but that is just me.
UPDATE: Don Lemon “apologized” on the air today for his stupid question. I think it is so fake, I am even more nauseated than the question he asked her. He was actually smiling as he addressed his mistake, how rude is that? Than he brings up that he was a victim, like we should feel for sorry for him. I mean, I am sorry he was sexually molested as a kid, but that does not give him the right to ask such an ridiculous question.
It seriously blows my mind that several great people have been let go from CNN in the last year, and yet this guy still has a job.
To see his bullsh!t apology, then
