CNN’s Don Lemon and his lawyer have called out former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly for her lack of journalistic ethics. Attorney Caroline J. Polisi sent Kelly a legal letter after the former anchor invited Dustin Hice to The Megyn Kelly Show. The former newsman is suing Lemon for an alleged incident in 2018.

According to Radar Online, Hice accused Lemon of sexually assaulting him in 2018 in Sag Harbor, New York and filed a lawsuit the following year. Kelly is accused of failing to challenge Hice’s inaccurate statements.

“You permitted Mr. Hice’s statements to go unchallenged during your broadcast, clearly out of a vendetta you have against Mr. Lemon,” said the letter. “Although you advertise your podcast as featuring ‘honest’ conversations without ‘BS’ or ‘agenda,’ your podcast today, in which you interviewed Dustin Hice, reveals that you only pay lip service to journalistic ethics.”

The man claimed that Lemon rubbed his own genitals before placing his fingers under Hice’s nose while at a bar. The lawsuit contended that Hice suffered anxiety, anger, guilt, humiliation and shame due to the alleged incident.

“He has his hand in his pants rubbing himself aggressively, and he shoved his two fingers up underneath my mustache.”

Hice claimed that Lemon offered him $500K to settle the lawsuit, which Polisi denied. She said Nice was only offered a “nuisance” payment of $8,000. She also accused Hice of demanding $1.5 million for his silence and for bribing a witness.

“Mr. Lemon has presented evidence of Mr. Hice offering to bribe a witness and that he intentionally destroyed and withheld material evidence that both is directly relevant to his purported claims and that severely undermines his credibility,” wrote Polisi.

Polisi also slammed Kelly for presenting Hice as a sexual assault survivor.

“That claim is false, and you are now on notice,” Polisi wrote. “Given that you are, or were, an attorney, I would have expected you to have read the complaint, which neither pleads ‘sexual assault,’ nor seeks damages for ‘sexual assault.'”

Lemon’s lawyer ended the letter by noting that the CNN anchor refuses to be blackmailed by Hice. She also ordered Kelly to correct the record for her listeners with the facts.
