Don Lemon Partying Photos Show CNN Host Grabbing Crotch, Throwing Gang Signs

Don Lemon is under fire yet again today, but it’s not for something he said on the air. According to Radar Online, the controversial CNN host had partying photos leaked, and what he is doing in those photos is questionable to some people. Apparently the photos were taken back in May of 2013 at a party at Lemon’s home. According to the report, he was seen grabbing his crotch, and throwing “gang signs,” and he looked like he had been drinking.

“I guess he felt the need to let out his inner gangster this particular evening. Which is pretty funny because most people see Don as being so serious! There were only a few folks at his house that night. He lives a private life, but he regularly had parties at his house in the Virginia Highlands in Atlanta, although he moved to NYC in late 2013 to produce his CNN show there,” shared a source.

Don Lemon has been in the news quite a bit lately following his comments about what is going on in Ferguson. According to the Huffington Post, Lemon made comments in Ferguson about there being an “obvious” smell of marijuana, and some people didn’t appreciate the way he said it because he insinuated that the rioters in the area would “obviously” be high. Lemon backpedaled a bit, but he didn’t exactly apologize.

“I don’t get that. I was just talking. There was a million things going on and everyone’s just hanging on one word,” Lemon told TMZ.

As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Lemon also came under fire for comments he made about the Bill Cosby rape allegations. Since Lemon’s been criticized for the past couple of weeks, it makes sense that these photos would leak, in fact, the timing isn’t surprising at all. When celebrities or media personnel get attention for something they did or said, there tends to be additional information that makes its way to the press to make that person look even worse. This is something that happens all the time, and that is just the way the media world works. Maybe a Don Lemon sex tape is lingering out there somewhere, who knows?

Do you think Don Lemon’s leaked partying pics will ruin his image even more? Were you surprised to see the CNN host let loose at a party at his own home?
