The alleged incident occurred at a bar on New York\u2019s Long Island.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Hice reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/12\/04\/cnns-lemon-accuser-he-stuffed-his-hands-in-his-pants\/\">said<\/a>&nbsp;of the incident on the Fox show <em>Waters\u2019 World,&nbsp;<\/em>\u201c\u2026And shoved his fingers up under my nose, pushed my head back, and asked me if I liked p\u2014- or d\u2014.

In response to the network terminating Chris Cuomo for alleged sexual misconduct and for using CNN resources to aid his brother\u2019s crisis team, Hice told Fox News Digital that the network protects predators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re a network rife with predators and perverts,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/don-lemon-accuser-predator-protecting-machine-some-accountability-cuomo\">Hice said<\/a>. \u201cLemon will have to testify under oath in the near future, but it\u2019s good to see that there\u2019s finally some accountability happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis is who they are. They\u2019re a&nbsp;predator-protecting machine, they slander and smear victims with impunity,\u201d Hice added.<\/p>\n<p>Hice claimed that he turned down multiple settlement offers from Lemon and that CNN has actively worked with the anchor\u2019s legal team to \u201cgrind me down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve tried to grind me down, they\u2019ve attempted to intimidate witnesses in my case, they\u2019ve released confidential information about me in an attempt to doxx me. They are complicit. This is who they are,\u201d Hice said.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to Fox News, Lemon\u2019s attorney, Caroline J. Polisi, called Hice\u2019s claims \u201cbaseless.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p>In response to Mr. Hice\u2019s baseless allegations, I encourage people to review the public filings, which show that Mr. Hice\u2019s claims have been steadily eroding when they have been exposed to the civil litigation process.&nbsp;Mr. Hice\u2019s fanciful and salacious allegations against Mr. Lemon have collapsed of their own weight.&nbsp;Unlike Mr. Hice, Mr. Lemon has litigated, and will continue to litigate this case in the courtroom, not the press.&nbsp;We look forward to the approaching trial so he can finally put this case behind him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Earlier last week, CNN suspended Chris Cuomo indefinitely after&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/30\/fredo-gone-trump-celebrates-chris-cuomo-suspension-cnn\/\">unearthed<\/a>&nbsp;text messages revealed that he&nbsp;used his media sources to discredit his brother Andrew\u2019s accusers, raising \u201cserious concerns\u201d about his ethical conduct. When Andrew Cuomo resigned as governor of New York earlier this year, Chris Cuomo initially told CNN that he only aided the disgraced politician as a fellow brother, not as an actual adviser:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p>When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother\u2019s staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly. But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second.<\/p>\n<p>However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother\u2019s efforts than we previously knew. As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Several days later, CNN announced that it had fired Chris Cuomo after \u201cadditional information\u201d came to light about his conduct.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dustin Hice, the man who accused CNN host Don Lemon of sexual assault, has sounded off in the wake of Chris Cuomo\u2019s exit, slamming the network as a place \u201crife &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1091636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1091636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1091636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1091636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1091636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1091636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1091636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
