Piers Morgan UNLOADS on Crybaby Don Lemon — Calls Him a “D**k” After He Melts Down
Piers Morgan challenges Don Lemon during a fiery segment on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where Lemon grew defensive after being confronted with the very clip that led to his CNN firing.
A recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored featured a fiery exchange between host Piers Morgan and former CNN anchor Don Lemon, as the two clashed over topics ranging from cancel culture to Lemon’s controversial past comments.
Lemon, who was dismissed from CNN in 2023 after remarks about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, appeared on Morgan’s program expecting a conversation centered on free speech and recent events surrounding conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Instead, the conversation quickly shifted to Lemon’s own departure from CNN and the now-infamous clip where he commented on when women are “in their prime.”
Morgan aired the original CNN segment, where Lemon stated that women are considered to be in their prime during their “20s, 30s, and maybe 40s,” referencing Google as his source. When asked if he regretted the statement, Lemon grew visibly frustrated, accusing Morgan of ambushing him by bringing up topics that, according to Lemon, were not disclosed beforehand.
Don Lemon becomes visibly enraged as Piers Morgan rolls the very clip that got him fired from CNN.
“Not once did you mention that we were gonna talk about CNN or whatever. And had I known that, I probably wouldn’t have accepted this interview.”

“You said you wanted to talk about freedom of speech and Charlie Kirk,” Lemon said, expressing that he felt misled by Morgan’s team. “Had I known we were going to talk about CNN and that clip, I might not have accepted the interview.”
Morgan pushed back, asserting that Lemon himself had raised the subject of cancel culture, which naturally led to discussing the circumstances of his exit from CNN. “You said what you’re going to say. I think it’s perfectly reasonable,” Morgan responded. The exchange quickly escalated, with both men interrupting each other, leading to Morgan bluntly telling Lemon he was “being a complete d*ck.”
The argument continued as Lemon reiterated his frustration, questioning whether Morgan was fully aware of his show’s editorial decisions. “Are you not that involved in the editorial process of your own show?” Lemon asked, to which Morgan replied, “You’ve already admitted one of the subjects was free speech—and here you are getting enraged about me exercising mine.”
Despite the tension, Lemon maintained that he was not angry, though the back-and-forth made for an uncomfortable viewing experience.
Lemon kept complaining endlessly about Morgan’s decision to air that clip.
MORGAN: “Here you are getting enraged about me exercising my right to free speech to ask you a few questions.”

Ahead of the interview’s release, Morgan addressed the drama on social media, suggesting Lemon was worried about how he came across in the exchange. “He’s going absolutely berserk about me on Instagram,” Morgan wrote on X. “He’s right to panic… he comes over a whiny, touchy, arrogant little d*ck.”
The interview has since sparked debate online, with viewers divided over whether Lemon was unfairly treated or simply confronted with tough questions he should have anticipated.
