ZitatA man is suing Don Lemon, claiming the CNN host attacked him at a Hamptons bar last summer. The suit, obtained by Mediaite, was filed Sunday and seeks unspecified damages for “emotional pain and suffering.”
“The plaintiff in this lawsuit has previously displayed a pattern of contempt for CNN on his social media accounts,” a CNN spokesperson told Mediaite in a statement. “This claim follows his unsuccessful threats and demands for an exorbitant amount of money from Don Lemon. Don categorically denies these claims and this matter does not merit any further comment at this time.”
Dustin Hice claims that Lemon attacked him at Sag Harbor dive bar Murf’s in July 2018. Hice, who was working as a bartender at another Hamptons watering hole at the time, said he approached Lemon at the bar one night after recognizing him. Hice “tried to get Mr. Lemon’s attention and offered to buy Mr. Lemon a drink,” the suit claims. The CNN host declined, stating he was “just trying to have a good time.”
Later in the night, the suit says, Lemon approached Hice.
“Mr. Lemon, who was wearing a pair of shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt, 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 in Plaintiff’s moustache and under Plaintiff’s nose,” the suit says.
Hice said Lemon repeatedly shoved his fingers in his face and asked, “Do you like pussy or dick?” Hice claims he left the bar “shocked and humiliated.”

ZitatWell, it turns out we have a witness to his alleged attack. The assault reportedly occurred in summer of 2018. The bartender, Dustin Hice, and his manager, George Gounelas, went out after work to a local bar, Murf’s Backstreet Tavern that is located in the Hamptons. Hice attempted to buy the CNN host a drink and strike up a conversation both of which were reportedly turned down. Lemon later approached Hice, allegedly drunk and asked him if he wanted to do anything sexual with him due to his insistence on speaking with him. Hice denied there was anything sexual, saying he just wanted to say, “what’s up,” and then Lemon allegedly shoved his hands down his shorts. Gounelas saw the whole thing, as he was reportedly standing right next to Hice
