Don Lemon Accuser Says CNN Anchor Tried to Settle Sexual Assault Case Three Times

Dustin Hice, a New York bartender who accused CNN’s Don Lemon of sexual assault over a 2018 incident, said the network anchor tried to settle the case three times.

“Money is not what I’m after here,” Hice said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” in an interview published Monday. “I just want to not live the rest of my life in regret, and to have a clear conscience, and to have closure from this situation.”

Hice said Lemon made “three separate attempts” with nearly “half a million dollars” to keep him quiet over allegations that the prime time anchor groped his own genitals and proceeded to shove the foul fingers in Hice’s face at a Long Island bar. Hice filed a lawsuit two years ago with a trial expected to begin early next year.

“[Lemon] put his hand down the front of his own shorts, and vigorously rubbed his genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers into Plaintiff’s mustache and under Plaintiff’s nose,” the 2019 lawsuit reads, according to Fox News. “Lemon intensely pushed his fingers against Plaintiff’s face under Plaintiff’s nose, forcing Plaintiff’s head thrust backward as Defendant repeatedly asked Plaintiff ‘Do you like p***y or d**k?’ while saying this, Mr. Lemon continued to shove his fingers into Plaintiff’s face with aggression and hostility.”

In Monday’s interview with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Hice said the experience, which happened within his first few weeks at the Long Island establishment, provoked a summer of relentless taunting that eventually led him to leave. Customers would enter to order lemon drops with two fingers raised, referring to a joke Hice had made to Lemon before the CNN host approached Hice later in the evening.
