Don Lemon, during an appearance on Bill Maher's podcast, recounted two instances of sexual harassment by female colleagues while he worked at CNN. He described one incident involving a colleague tweaking his nipples in a cafeteria, which he felt exemplified a double standard, as he believed he would face severe repercussions had he done the same. Lemon also mentioned an incident at a cocktail party, where a colleague persistently pursued him despite his refusal.
