Don Lemon spotted for first time since CNN firing

Fired CNN host Don Lemon has been spotted for the first time since the shock revelation he’s been axed by the network.

The 57-year-old was snapped by The Post leaving his Manhattan apartment Monday — just an hour after he took to Twitter to rage about his firing.

Lemon stared intently at his phone as he broke cover from the Hudson Yards skyscraper with his partner Tim Malone and their three dogs.

Donning a black cap and sunglasses, the controversial ex-anchor kept sporadically checking his device as the couple took off down the street.

The first sighting came soon after Lemon posted a fiery tweet claiming that he had been blindsided by CNN’s decision to sack him after 17 years.

“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned after 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly,” Lemon said in his Twitter statement.

“At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play.”

But CNN later hit back, refuting his “inaccurate” version of events.

“Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate,” the network said in a Twitter statement. “He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter.”
