Fired Journalist Sleuth Brian Stelter Claims that Both Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson Have Hired the Same Powerhouse Attorney to go After Their Old Bosses

On Monday, April 24, 2023, former CNN correspondent Brian Stelter tweeted that both Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon have hired the same lawyer, Bryan Freedman. Freedman is a well-known entertainment lawyer who has represented a number of high-profile clients, including Megyn Kelly, Chris Harrison, and Gabrielle Union. This tweet is unconfirmed information so far.

“I’m told that both Tucker Carlson AND Don Lemon have retained the famously aggressive entertainment lawyer Bryan Freedman. I have reached out to Freedman; no response yet”

Stelter’s tweet has raised a number of questions. Why did Carlson and Lemon hire the same lawyer? What are they planning to do? And what does this mean for the future of other possible journalist firings?

It is still too early to say for sure what Carlson and Lemon are planning to do. However, it is possible that they are considering legal action against their former employers. Freedman has a history of representing clients in high-profile lawsuits, and he is known for being aggressive in his negotiations.

It is also possible that Carlson and Lemon are simply seeking legal advice as they navigate their respective departures from Fox News and CNN. Freedman is a well-respected lawyer with a deep understanding of the entertainment industry, and he could be helpful to Carlson and Lemon as they figure out their next steps.

In our opinion they will be seeking large figure settlements, as Bill O’Reilly mentioned they likely would be yesterday. In addition to his No Spin Zone on The First, O’Reilly went on Cuomo, a new show on Dan Abram’s News Nation.

Whatever Carlson and Lemon are planning to do, it is clear that their decision to hire Freedman is a significant development. Freedman is a powerful lawyer with a long track record of success, and his involvement in this case could have a major impact on the future of cable news.

In addition to raising questions about Carlson and Lemon’s plans, Stelter’s tweet has also sparked a debate about the state of cable news. Some people have argued that Carlson and Lemon’s departures are a sign that the cable news industry is in decline. Others have argued that the departures are simply a reflection of the changing media landscape, and that cable news will continue to be a force in American politics and culture for years to come.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Carlson and Lemon. However, it is clear that the departures have the industry under a spotlight, and it will be interesting to see how the story unfolds in the coming weeks and months.
