Watch: Bill Maher's awkward exchange with Don Lemon prompts Caitlyn Jenner to blast ex-CNN anchor as privileged‚ wealthy‚ entitled

A strange interaction on &;quot;Real Time with Bill Maher&;quot; prompted transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner to criticize Don Lemon as privileged‚ wealthy‚ and entitled.On the most recent episode of &;quot;Real Time with Bill Maher‚&;quot; Lemon appeared alongside Scott Galloway – professor of marketing at NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business.The trio were discussing the pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses around the country and how they force students to deal with &;quot;discomfort.&;quot; Bill Maher quipped about the student's discomfort‚ &;quot;You mean like living in a tent&;#63;&;quot;The audience laughed at Maher's joke. Lemon claimed‚ &;quot;I'm different than you guys. I'm a black gay man‚ so I live in uncomfortable spaces all the time.&;quot; Maher asked‚ &;quot;What's going on&;#63; Uncomfortable spaces&;#63;&;quot; Lemon replied‚ &;quot;Look‚ I'm often the only person of color in the room.&;quot; Maher then joked‚ &;quot;There's only three of us here‚ come on.&;quot; The crowd then laughed. Caitlyn Jenner applauded Maher for calling out Lemon and also slammed the ex-CNN anchor as &;quot;entitled.&;quot; Jenner wrote on the X social media platform‚ &;quot;Good on you Bill Maher Don is a privileged‚ wealthy‚ (not to mention entitled ie. Demands to X and CNN in alleged contract terms)‚ celebrity. Get over yourself.&;quot;Lemon had a very short partnership with the X social media network to air &;quot;The Don Lemon Show.&;quot; However‚ Elon Musk canceled the partnership after the first episode aired. &;quot;X is a platform that champions free speech‚ and we’re proud to provide an open environment for diverse voices and perspectives‚&;quot; the social media network announced. &;quot;'The Don Lemon Show' is welcome to publish its content on X‚ without censorship‚ as we believe in providing a platform for creators to scale their work and connect with new communities.&;quot;X officials did not explain the reasoning for the dissolution of the relationship‚ only saying that &;quot;like any enterprise‚&;quot; they &;quot;reserve the right to make decisions&;quot; about business partnerships.Lemon allegedly had a long list of demands in the partnership with X‚ including a free Tesla Cybertruck‚ a $5 million upfront payment on top of an $8 million salary‚ and a private jet trip to Las Vegas with his husband in exchange for hosting his show exclusively on X. Lemon also purportedly commanded an equity stake in the multibillion-dollar company and the right to approve any changes in X policy as it relates to news content.Lemon was previously fired from CNN in 2023 after he began having divisive moments on the air. Lemon had a tense confrontation about race with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. He also ruffled the feathers of his &;quot;CNN This Morning&;quot; co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins when the 58-year-old host claimed that 51-year-old Nikki Haley was not &;quot;in her prime.&;quot;Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
